With the revelation this week that Fox News helped Russian intelligence agents spread the vulgar conspiracy theory about Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich’s murder in 2016, we have entered a dark and dangerous place. We're at the point where a major American cable news channel teamed up with forces from a foreign adversary in order…
More from Wolff's latest: Trump calls Pence 'religious nut,' thinks Kavanaugh was probably molested
I read Fire & Fury. I don’t know if I can read Siege, Michael Wolff’s sequel to his mega best-selling book on our long national nightmare. After all, there are so many things I could be doing with my time. Get high and watch H.R. Pufnstuf. Inject psychedelic reindeer urine into my eyeballs. Smoke a pound…
Bannon: Trump will lose supporters when they discover he's just another non-billionaire scumbag
Steve Bannon took a break from turning into compost for long enough to speak with Michael Wolff for Wolff’s latest book, Siege: Trump Under Fire. And Bannon had a lot of salty things to say about his ex-boss. The Guardian secured an advance copy of the book, scheduled to be released June 4, and highlighted Bannon’s…
D.C. restaurateur says he hides Betsy DeVos from people walking by his window
Trump administration officials are rightly pariahs, and that’s certainly true in D.C. and environs as much as anywhere else. We remember how Sarah Huckabee Slanders got 86’d from the Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia, and that time Kirstjen “Baby Cages” Nielsen got hounded out of a Mexican restaurant in D.C. And I applaud this kind of thing….

Here we are again. Let’s hop on into the not-so-wayback machine, and take a quick look at the political stories and events we were obsessing over, and parsing importance as we went about our daily lives on that day.

On This Day In Trumptopia. August 18th, 2016 & 2017.
Welcome to what I hope will become a daily feature. This carnival we call the Trump Presidency is like an out of control merry-go-round, shit being thrown off in every direction at 100 mph. By the time the 6:00 news rolls around, you've completely forgotten the “breaking news” of 8:39 am. And it seems that…
