But the singular defense only made Clark more combative as the hearing went on. At one point, he accused the hearing’s lead investigator, Hamilton Fox, of attempting to humiliate him, reported Politico.

Read MoreInside White Rural Rage: A Talk With Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman
White Rural Rage, the new book by Tom Schaller and Paul Waldman, stands out in its genre for some of the things it doesn’t do. It’s not a long finger-wag at Democrats and liberals for ignoring rural America. It’s not a coded apologia for certain people’s racism. In fact, Schaller and Waldman mince no words […]

Read MoreNBC News Has a Bigger Problem Than Ronna McDaniel
There are a lot of flaws in this approach—namely the deference it inherently shows to politicians, its general conception of journalism as a conduit for political parties, and its reliance on party apparatchiks for spin and drama—but it has been remarkably resilient even as American politics has grown more partisan and divided. Yet one flaw […]

Read MoreTrump’s Idiot Lawyers Just Screwed Themselves Over in Hush-Money Case
In 2021, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Biden administration said providers could prescribe mifepristone during telemedicine appointments. The administration made that change permanent later the same year. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the anti-abortion group, it could undo all of those FDA-approved changes. As arguments began Tuesday, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, […]

NBC News is taking heavy fire over its decision to hire former Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel as a political analyst.

If the Supreme Court reanimates Comstock, it could effectively green-light a ban on some methods of contraception, all without overturning Griswold. “To the extent that the court would literally have a huge shitstorm on his hands were it to overrule yet another precedent, and one as high-profile as Griswold, yeah, this is a great interim […]

The second issue is the broader comparison of the two economies. Trump’s pre-pandemic economy, as I’ve written before, was good. Trump haters can’t deny it. It wasn’t because of anything he did.
