As I just heard NBC’s Ali Velshi say, “Davos is Globalist Central.” So why is “America Firster” Donald Trump going there? Ostensibly, to be a salesman for his nationalist vision. “The president’s appearance is there to sell his accomplishments, to remind the world that we’re open for business, that we’re a competitive country,” [Gary] Cohn …
Bevin (do I have to tell you he’s a Republican?) has been trying to get rid of the Medicaid expansion put in place by his Democratic predecessor since the day he took office. He just issued an order that says if his newly-minted work requirement for able-bodied Medicaid recipients is thrown out by a court …

The only thing which surprised me about Trump calling Haiti and African nations “shitholes” was that he said it in front of people who have no reason to suck up to him. We’ve known he was a racist since the day he came down that escalator in 2015 and said about Mexicans ““They’re bringing drugs. …
All of Wolff’s excerpts from Fire & Fury so far (the book was rushed into stores today) read like jayvee fan fiction. They read like a pilot that Steve Bannon himself wrote, pitched to Hollywood, and had rejected 17 times over. They read, in short, like bullshit. And yet…Wolff has audio. He’s got hours upon …

Here’s a link to the book excerpt that caused the White House eruption today. Here’s a quote from early on after the inauguration: [Murdoch] the media mogul warned Trump that a president has only six months, max, to set his agenda and make an impact. After that, it was just putting out fires and battling …
Amanda Marcotte at Salon notices something odd: “Now we find out that many of these journalists who seemed convinced that Clinton had a deep, dark secret were likely harboring guilty secrets of their own.” “When one looks down the lengthening list of prominent male journalists who have been credibly accused of sexual harassment, one thing …
Donald takes the word of a pedophile that he didn’t do any of the horrid things attributed to him while at the same time calling the sleaze ball’s opponent, a man who prosecuted and convicted two of the KKK members who helped to blow up the Birmingham Church in 1963 and killed four little girls …

After facing criticism for not calling the families of four soldiers who died in combat, President Trump reached out to one of the widows Tuesday and said her husband “knew what he signed up for … but when it happens it hurts anyway,” according to Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.). The call between Trump and Myeshia …
The Trump Administration just expanded the range of employers who can claim exemptions from the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that birth control be made available as part of any insurance policy. This latest rewriting of the federal policy, in an interim final rule that takes effect immediately, broadens the entities that may claim religious objections …
Every day in every way imaginable this man embarrasses the United States, its citizens, and even himself (if he had the capacity to realize it). His performance in Puerto Rico today was appalling. “Every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous — …
