I’m not a vindictive person. I’m really not. Certain things I’ve endured in my life I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, such as depression, debilitating flu, and the Carrot Top Spa Day Experience in Vegas. Which is exactly what it sounds like. Not sure what I was thinking there. That...

Rachel Campos-Duffy is a former reality star … and some other things. Her husband, Sean, is a former GOP congressman from Hayward, Wisconsin, which is way, way up north. I’ve been to northern Wisconsin. I know northern Wisconsin pretty well. And I can tell you with some confidence that most northern Wisconsin...
Received two e-mails from former President Barack Obama. The first one is in support of Jon Ossoff’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaign: Jon Ossoff (D. GA) & Raphael Warnock (D. GA) If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are going to deliver the change we need to get this pandemic under...

I have to hand it to Michelle Obama. She’s a better person than I am. (Not an especially high bar, but still.) Today, in the wake of Donald Trump’s one-manbaby poo-fling-palooza, she took pointed jabs at Trump without all the blood-letting that often accompanies such screeds. And it amply demonstrated what...
One thing I’ll never understand until the day I die is how so many people ascribe “toughness” and “manliness” to Donald Trump. (I’ll also never quite get how someone who clearly looks more like an adobe hut than a human being could garner so much support, but hey, one thing...
My Twitter was blowing up with one-liners from Barack Obama’s speech all day, but the coolest thing he did had nothing to do with a speech. x 😩😩 I missssss him https://t.co/5olw3fa9xC— Ebony Jade Hilton, MD (@EbonyJHilton_MD) October 31, 2020 Just passing thru…and nailing a 3-pointer.

Obama is on the stump, stumpin’ for Joe. And it’s a beautiful, beautiful thing. x Noting that Trump is complaining about the media reporting on rising COVID cases, President Obama says, “He's jealous of COVID's media coverage.” pic.twitter.com/Of4RZxERYt— The American Independent (@AmerIndependent) October 27, 2020 < p class=”is-empty-p”> OBAMA: “And what’s his...
Received this e-mail today from Theresa Greenfield’s (D. IA) U.S. Senate campaign: President Barack Obama is hosting a virtual grassroots fundraiser this Friday to help us take back the Senate — and we want you to be there! Taking back the Senate has never been more important, and these Democratic candidates in Iowa, Texas,...

Former President Barack Obama teamed up with NowThis to emphasize that not only how important it is to vote in the presidential election but also to help Democrats win in down ballot races: x You don't need me to tell you what's at stake in this election. Now is the...
President Obama has weighed in on the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the confirmation battle that’s sure to ensue. Here’s his statement in its entirety: Sixty years ago, Ruth Bader Ginsburg applied to be a Supreme Court clerk. She’d studied at two of our finest law schools and had ringing...
in his Washington Post column titled For someone who says she hates politics, Michelle Obama is a political powerhouse. Let me put it simply by starting with his final two paragraphs: Speakers tonight had no crowd to rouse, no applause to draw energy from, no way to gauge how their...
Does this kind of argument work with anyone? The guy whose administration has overseen the destruction of millions of total jobs is bragging about the number of jobs created in the past three months. Interesting that he said “three” and not “four.” Wonder why that would be. Oh, I see now....
Ok, so we know about Trump’s “executive order” on the coronavirus stimulus relief package: President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders Saturday in an effort to bypass congressional negotiations and extend financial relief to tens of millions of Americans during the coronavirus pandemic. One order would extend enhanced unemployment benefits at a...
Some big news today: x IâÂÂm proud to endorse this diverse and hopeful collection of thoughtful, empathetic, and highly qualified Democrats.

THANK YOU!!! x President Obama is absolutely right. It is an outrage that modern-day poll taxes, gerrymandering, I.D. requirements, and other forms of voter suppression still exist today. If expanding the Voting Rights Act requires us to eliminate the filibuster, then that is what we must do. https://t.co/4pLb1rZCSjâ” Bernie Sanders...
Hell yeah: Former President Barack Obama called to eliminate the legislative filibuster “if that's what it takes” to pass new federal voting laws in honor of the late John Lewis at Lewis' memorial service on Thursday. Obama praised Lewis' record securing key voting rights victories, including the passage of the...
The Biden campaign is set to drop a new campaign video tomorrow in which Joe sits down with his former boss Barack Obama and dishes on the dipshit. According to Axios, the two discuss “systemic racism, the coronavirus pandemic and President Trump’s handling of those issues.” Here’s a teaser clip:...

Aside from the usual commenters remarking on how difficult it is to prosecute anyone of treason, much less a former POTUS, Trump now makes more empty threats because he has nothing left. We’re still waiting for that HRC prosecution. x Asked what crime he's alleging Obama committed, Trump identifies one...

Obama’s senior economist Jason Furman believes that just before the election Trump’s economic indicators could begin to soar. For those who do not understand economics and relative growth, we will need to tell the truth about the absolute data which will be bad. Trump soaring economic indicators? Watch the full...
I’d like to believe that, in a closet or an attic somewhere, there’s a portrait of Donald J. Trump that’s emotionally maturing at a normal human pace, even as the heap of callow adipose sliming the Resolute Desk remains eternally stuck in neutral. Because shit like this is, well, not normal....

All those commencement events made Trump all Pomp & Circumstance. Or perhaps it was the TV ratings that set Trump off. x 90,000 Americans are dead because of a pandemic that Trump was unprepared for and has thrown in the towel on mitigating https://t.co/qvnz5vGc5J — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 17,...
The day after our last real president said today’s leaders (i.e., Trump) weren’t even “pretending to be in charge,” Trump responded with this: x The level of projection here is just incredible pic.twitter.com/1rzNgKl9Qa— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 17, 2020 < p class=”is-empty-p”> TRUMP: “Look, he was an incompetent president, that’s...
People have now discovered that the Obama administration left the Trump administration a detailed pandemic response playbook, so there’s only one thing to do: Release the lying monkeys! Lie, my pretties! Lie! Trump and Kayleigh McEnany are now trying to dismiss the pandemic response plan Obama left for Trump as...
Trump’s hatred of Barack Obama is long and well-documented, from his attempts to find the “real birth certificate” to his dismantling of anything Obama had accomplished just because it was Obama who had done it. Trump’s insistence that his inaugural crowd was larger than Obama’s set the tone for his...
Moscow Mitch’s attack on Obama’s criticism of Trump’s criminal negligence when dealing with the coronavirus pandemic is pure Trumpism — blatant racism aimed at the former president. The Republican base, especially in Kentucky, is filled with bigots and racists, and one of their favorite punching bags is that uppity black man...
Boo. Fucking. Hoo. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Monday that former President Obama should have held back from criticizing President Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, calling Obama's critique “a little bit classless.” President Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, during an online Trump campaign event, told McConnell that Obama “slammed” President Trump over...
Unless Ivanka or the inventor of the Egg McMuffin happens to be reading this, it’s a good bet Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about you. If Trump could kill off half the country and still get reelected, there’s a good chance it’s all but certain he’d do that. So we’re...
Some big news: x IâÂÂm deeply honored to receive the endorsement of President @BarackObama. In these trying times, our district and nation need us to show real leadership. We have one week to go for the #CA25 special election. LetâÂÂs show the country we are united by hope and ready...

When it comes to Biden accuser Tara Reade, I’ve been reluctant to jump to any conclusions. Women deserve to be heard and their stories deserve to be taken seriously. But with respect to Reade’s accusations in particular, a lot of questions have been raised that so far don’t appear to...
