He may or may not be a savior during this coronavirus pandemic, but Democratic Kentucky Govenor Andy Beshear is so much better than the anti-vaccine, chickenpox loving, and anti-science former Governor Matt Bevin. As Josepth Gerth of the Louisville Courier-Journal reminds us, Bevin posted this on his Twitter account on...

The Trumpian disinformation machine lost a month and now recalibrates death toll expectations in the last two pressers. President Tiger King’s reelection can only happen with a recovering economy and a receding coronavirus contagion. In his desperation, his media frame for electoral success now moves from zero to 100,000 deaths. Today he...
Despite the stories of New Yorkers applauding medical professionals from their windows each evening, there will always be reactionaries desperate for attention. You can’t just drink a kamikaze. Roger Stone’s love-child, competing for the post of Trump princeling with James O’Keefe, Jacob Wohl, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Andy Ngo, is now doing...
