On Wednesday night, Republican House candidate Greg Gianforte assaulted journalist Ben Jacobs of The Guardian in response to being asked about the CBO score for the American Health Care Act. Even more shocking than a white, conservative male resorting to brazen violence when he ...read more

Earlier in the month, Trump and Republicans in the House threw themselves a party in the Rose Garden to celebrating passing an "abomination of a health care bill" that, if made into law, would fulfill Paul Ryan's college dream of starving the shit out of the sick and elderly to ...read more

Last week, I covered the strange tantrum that arose from conservative corners after the Tim Allen sitcom Last Man Standing was cancelled by ABC in a completely mundane, run-of-the-mill business decision. And I say strange because it was clearly done for the one reason that ...read more
