The European Parliament unveiled “The Orange Plague,” a new gold leaf-covered statue depicting President Donald Trump naked while sitting on the shoulders of a smaller man. The 8-foot statue—which is in a parliament building in Strasbourg, France—shows Trump holding a golf club on top of a pedestal that reads, “I am sitting on the back of a man. He is sinking under my burden.

Russia is reporting one possible case of a death from pneumonic plague, which it characterizes as a “very low” risk outside of Russia. That one case, however, has motivated President Donald Trump to offer assistance to Russia, and his best buddy Russian President Vladimir Putin is already showering Trump with praise. “It’s always very good when mutual assistance is offered…

At a Monday rally in Nebraska, President Donald Trump said these words to big applause: “They [Iran] can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.” The plain English meaning of that is clear, and Trump has been getting a ton of flak for it. But Trump being Trump, MAGA rallied to his side explaining all the possible…

During a debate on Tuesday night, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine demonstrated why she and other Republicans are facing the very real prospect of losing power in this year’s midterm elections—thanks to her support for President Donald Trump and his unpopular agenda. Troy Jackson, Collins’ Democratic challenger, repeatedly pointed out during the debate that despite her ad campaign and political…

The leaks from a closed-door fundraiser Ken Paxton held in Washington, D.C., just keep coming. After The New York Times and Politico each posted covertly recorded audio from the event—in which Paxton crapped on President Donald Trump’s midterm convention and the D.C.-based operatives running the messaging in his campaign—Axios got its turn to publish audio of Paxton’s blunt assessment of what’…

Better Know a Democrat is an interview series to give voters a closer look at candidates in competitive races across the U.S. In these polarized political times, it’s rare that voters cross party lines to support the opposing team. But as Republicans begin to sour on President Donald Trump for betraying his promises to lower costs and stay out of new wars, Democrats are looking to…

Since launching on Oct. 7, 1996, Fox News has spent the past 30 years airing a nonstop stream of bile, misinformation, bigotry, and stupidity. The network was started by Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who has used his influence through outlets like The Sun and the New York Post to shift global politics to the right. The network was designed by former Richard Nixon adviser Roger…

Things are undoubtedly rough for Republicans as they face the prospect of deep losses in the U.S. Senate. The map is shocking given that the Democratic Party’s path to the majority runs through states like Alaska, Iowa, and Ohio—deep red states that shouldn’t, under any normal circumstances, be competitive. It’s particularly crazy since even redder states like Nebraska and South Carolina are…

Republican nominee Steve Hilton is facing exceptionally steep odds in his run for governor of California. But as the former Fox News host joined Daily Kos from a spotty video connection en route to another campaign event, Hilton’s determination to change California’s blue history was unwavering, to say the least. “I’ve always felt that it’s an uphill battle, no question,” he told us in…

Hoo boy, this Paramount merger. Whoops, sorry, the company name is Skydance now—which is a dumb name with an even dumber new logo. This merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery got approved solely because David Ellison, head of this monstrosity, and his daddy, Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, are big friends of President Donald Trump in particular and Republicans generally.

Starting last week, C-SPAN began simulcasting MAGA mouthpiece Scott Jennings’ radio show, on which House Speaker Mike Johnson made an appearance Tuesday to try to scare the GOP base into voting. “The Iranians are not trustworthy negotiating partners,” Johnson said about President Donald Trump’s costly war. “They lie—some of them as part of their religion.” Johnson also blamed the…

President Donald Trump is facing condemnation from California leaders after saying that Iran could “take out” U.S. cities like Los Angeles and San Diego. “It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city—let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over very soon,”…

It’s no secret that President Donald Trump loathes the press, save for the weird low-rent media outlets that have arisen solely to praise him, like One America News Network and whatever Mike Lindell’s TV channel is doing these days. But aside from those outlets, there’s no one that shows Trump enough fealty to avoid his violent ire. Most recently, he’s turned his rage on The New York…
