If perhaps you were wondering just how bad things are going for Donald Trump as he seeks to win a second term in office, consider that he’s only leading in the deep red state of Texas by 3 percent — 48 to 45 percent — over Joe Biden with just a little more than a […]
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is in very big trouble, and it could wind up costing him his congressional seat. The Fresno Bee reports that a non-partisan group, the Campaign Legal Center, is alleging that Nunes has been receiving gifts in direct violation of House ethics rules. Specifically, Nunes is accused of receiving legal services: “A […]
Susan Collins (R-ME) has the dubious distinction of being the most unpopular member of the United States Senate, edging out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) by two percentage points — 52 to 50 percent — in a recent Morning Consult poll. Being that disliked means that Collins is facing a tough bid to keep […]
Since Donald Trump became president three years ago, members of his administration have repeatedly suggested in both word and deed that they believe they’re above the law, beyond congressional oversight, and not subject to the rules that apply to everyone else.

At the time, Ryan said he was leaving Congress to spend more time with his family, but no one really believed that was the […]
If there’s one member of the Trump administration that makes a complete mockery of Donnie Dollhand’s campaign promise that he’d “drain the swamp” if elected, it’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Scott Pruitt. Since being appointed by Trump, Pruitt has spent taxpayer money on a sound proof phone booth in his office, traveled on the public dime […]
It’s a question we’ve been asking ever since Donald Trump won the 2016 election and we later discovered the FBI had begun investigating the Trump-Russia connection since July of 2016: Why didn’t FBI Director James Comey tell us there was an active investigation into the Trump campaign and Russian operatives? As it turns out, the […]
Even though President Trump may insist that he isn’t involved in any of his business interests now that he’s in the White House, he’s never actually bothered to produce any proof of his promise, meaning that you can classify this as yet another of his many lies. Former DNC Chairman Howard Dean says he’s had […]
