A Texas drifter threatened to kill “every black person at the Social Security office” if he didn’t get his benefits, according to a guilty plea filed in federal court this week. It all began in January 2019, when Dewitt Chandler, 40, contacted a Social Security Administration call center to ask why he hadn’t received his check.

The Senior Editor Over the past 24 hours there has been a serious deterioration in the mental condition of Donald Trump. This is simply a fact.

If poisoning can be proven, […]

I’ve always been a pocket diary girl. Just as I prefer reading physical magazines and books to swiping through digital issues, I like to write things down rather than rely on the virtual calendars that are so en vogue with my generation. Up until recently, I used basic Moleskine diaries, but this year I upgraded myself to Smythson’s crocodile embossed leather Mara Panama diary and it’s […]

Eric Swalwell (D-CA). In the last month, Democrats have sought to counter […]

Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) had five minutes to question President Donald Trump’s hand-picked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Monday afternoon and she didn’t waste a second of it.

DeJoy got that one right by answering $0.55, but it went downhill fast from there. He didn’t know how […]

On Tuesday night, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s cold open was a bit unusual.

But today, chillingly accurate,” the voiceover said. “Looks like somebody owes Kevin Costner an apology.” […]
