With Trump in office, those board members joined with Trump appointees at the Department of Justice and the Youngkin administration to shift the university right.

Source: MANDEL NGAN / Getty Surprise, surprise. We’ve found ourselves with President Donald Trump engaging in yet another instance of “rules for thee, but not for me.” On Tuesday, Trump was touring a Detroit Ford Factory when a worker called him a “pedophile protector,” to which the ever classy Trump responded by flipping him off […]
Read More“The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,” Trump wrote. “Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, […]

Anxious about midterms, the White House has spent months trying to influence red states to gerrymander their congressional lines to turn more seats in Congress. So far, that pressure campaign has had mixed results. The MAGA leader then went on to suggest that Republicans are […]

Oh, they’re not creating new words or anything like that; they’re just taking existing language and doing their favorite thing with it: making it racist. For example, “illegal” was already an existing word, but it didn’t […]

I mean, the only real difference between Fuentes and most right-wing talking heads in the media is that the others feel compelled to somewhat mask their bigotry until they get caught saying the quiet part out loud, whereas Fuentes doesn’t […]
