Fox News showed off on Thursday just how in sync it is with the Republican Party by echoing a party memo defending the steeply unpopular practice of constructing AI data centers around the country. Axios published a memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee that highlights voter opposition to data center construction and how it is dragging down the party’s candidates in key races.

The long-delayed road trip reality show, “The Great American Road Trip,” starring Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his Fox News host wife Rachel Campos-Duffy and their plethora of children is finally coming out, and the first clips are truly awful. “So I’m nervous about the idea of Paloma going to Harvard,” Campos-Duffy says. Paloma is the Duffys’ 18-year-old daughter…

There are so many horrifying things that President Donald Trump is doing to Washington, D.C., but his attempts to take over the Kennedy Center might be the most pathetic. He’s so desperate to slap his name on the thing and turn it into a gaudy nightmare that he’ll do just about anything. Trump’s DOJ just pushed their whole chests out and told a federal court they’re planning on adding Trump’…

Darline Graham, the appointed Republican senator from South Carolina, crawled to Fox News on Wednesday night to try to cauterize the wound that her cringeworthy primary debate performance inflicted on her Donald Trump-backed campaign for a full term in the U.S. Senate. But her performance on Sean Hannity’s show—in which the sycophantic Fox News host lobbed softballs at Graham to help defend…

Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff isn’t backing down against the full weight of President Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and the right’s outrage machine. Republicans have spent the last few days angrily denouncing Ossoff after he called out Donald Trump’s corruption and laziness in a campaign speech over the weekend. The right has especially taken offense to Ossoff mentioning Trump aide Natalie…

The Trump administration on Wednesday appears to have leaked a story to its favorite Iran war stenographer at Axios that the military has created a secret shipping corridor out of the Strait of Hormuz, helping to escort 15 to 20 oil tankers through the narrow passageway per day. Axios’ Barack Ravid reported: “The U.S.-led operation is mitigating one of the most painful aspects of the war: the…

You gotta hand it to this Department of Justice. Officials at the compromised government agency genuinely break new ground all the time. The trouble is that the new ground is things like “lying so hard to grand juries that judges have to intervene,” which is not so great. In the latest humiliation for the Trump administration, U.S. District Judge Laura Provinzino, who is overseeing the cases…

It took only three words during a campaign speech from Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff to throw the Trump White House and the Republican Party off its game. While lambasting Trump for corruption and laziness during a Sunday rally, Ossoff said, “See, he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the…

Sen. Darline Graham’s awful showing at Tuesday night’s South Carolina Republican Senate primary debate is a reminder that not everybody is ready for the job they aspire to. But in her defense, she’s just the latest in a long line of GOP blunderers in recent memory. The fact that someone shouldn’t be given an important job due to being corrupt or an incompetent boob does not necessarily…

On Wednesday, the Fox News show “Outnumbered” wasted the world’s time with a segment called “Democrats enter their thirst trap era.” With large images of Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff and former President Barack Obama projected behind the talking heads, the segment was a clear attempt to undermine the serious, policy-first progressives who have won seats and Democratic primaries across the country.

The economy is teetering on the brink, with interest rates skyrocketing and gas prices creeping higher due to the quagmire President Donald Trump embroiled the U.S. in when he launched a war in Iran. But rather than working to fix what he broke, Trump is instead laser focused on the tacky renovation projects he’s undertaken—some of them illegally—on the White House grounds. On Wednesday…

President Donald Trump is racing to build his big dumb bribe ballroom before the Supreme Court cuts him off—not that it’s at all a sure thing that they will tell him to stop. But he’s not taking any chances. So he’s got a team building this monstrosity 20 hours per day, seven days per week in order to beat the clock and, regrettably, you can see this thing is taking shape. Why?
