Billionaire Michael Bloomberg has paid the fines of some 32,000 Florida felons, clearing the way for them to vote. This is a brilliant move on the former presidential candidate hopeful, as Florida has long participated in sketchy disenfranchisement schemes to block Democrats. Trump is trying to recreate the “Crooked Hillary” insult in 2020 with “Sleepy …

Scholars of the Holocaust have expressed dismay over recent comments made by Donald Trump, in which he expressed racial-thinking reminiscent of the eugenics movement. The eugenics movement, a pseudoscientific theory of genetics, helped make the Holocaust possible by offering a medical justification for the extermination of all non-Aryan peoples. Here’s the comment in question, made …

The current moment is, perhaps, the most racially-tense period since the Rodney King riots. Sadly, it’s not just the continued violence against black people by the police––rank-and-file Trump supporters have been recorded in Elon, North Carolina as shouting “F*** black lives* and “white power.” Some two-hundred cars participated in the anti-black/pro-Trump rally. The racism seems …

Jared Kushner allegedly told a group of business leaders that the lack of medical supplies in New York was “their problem,” despite the mass casualties from COVID. The hits keep coming for the Trump campaign. The Atlantic editor-in-chief is catching flak for the bombshell story about Trump calling war dead “suckers” and “losers,” but the …

Trump’s creepy obsession with Fox News is interfering more than ever with his job performance. According to a former aide, he derailed a COVID meeting to rant about Tucker Carlson and Fox News for 45 minutes. Trump seems to think the network owes some kind of personal allegiance to him, and he even went so far …

A broke, desperate Trump campaign is doing whatever it takes to win the 2020 election, even if they have to cheat to do it. The latest example of their unsavory tactics include the work of a pro-Trump youth group, which is recruiting young adults and teenagers (meaning minors) to spread disinformation on social media, much like …

It was only a matter of time before the Lincoln Project sunk their teeth into a wounded, bleeding Trump campaign. Behold, the “Don the Con” ad spot, proving that we live in a badly written television show.   Trump has had a bad week. After news broke that he called our war dead “suckers” and “losers,” and …

Upton Sinclair once said,  “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” That sounds a lot like what is going on with the police around the nation. In Tennessee, for example, the governor has announced a plan to beef up the police. To do …

Northeastern University has dismissed 11 first-year students for violations to their COVID safety policy, and Northeastern kept their tuition money. It’s probably better that than the alternative…The University of Alabama has reported more than 500 cases since classes resumed. Now, the university is attempting to keep news of the outbreak silent––administration sent an email to professors not …

Joe Biden is rising in national polls. A Reuters/Ipsos poll has Biden 12 points ahead of Trump. Just last week, a nationwide poll had Joe Biden leading Donald Trump by ten points––52 to 42. But focusing on only one or two polls, or kinds of polls, can lead to serious miscalculations. Exhibit A: the 2016 …

Michael Cohen, in his tell-all book on his time in the Trump administration, has described an incident that could be damaging for Trump. According to Cohen, after a meeting with evangelicals, Trump said, “Can you believe people believe that bullshit?” It’s not terribly likely that this story will change the mind of hardcore Trump-backing evangelicals, …

According to a report by the Atlantic, when Trump lied about why he couldn’t visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in 2018, he insulted the dead buried there by calling them “suckers” and “losers” for dying in war. He also didn’t understand why the United States helped the Allies. Some veterans groups have, unsurprisingly, blasted Trump …
