Out of one side of their mouths, Republican lawmakers claim to be bending over backward to accommodate the Senate testimony of Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in the 1980s.
Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota has been one of Donald Trump’s best friends in Congress. She’s backed most of Trump’s cabinet nominees and his attacks on the environment, and said in an interview with the Washington Post in April that Trump even tried to recruit her to switch parties during a meeting at…
Roy Moore—accused pedophile and sexual predator, disgraced former Alabama Supreme Court justice, and reactionary, homophobic, gun-toting lunatic—is back!
Doug Jones is the first Democrat to represent Alabama in the Senate in over a generation after defeating alleged child predator Roy Moore. Yet, during his first three months in office, Jones has voted with President Donald Trump more than any other Democrat in the Senate.
Democrat Conor Lamb’s upset victory in a Pennsylvania congressional race this week was largely symbolic. Because of the state’s newly redrawn congressional maps, the district will be gone in less than 10 months. What matters for Tuesday’s election, then, is not the seat, but what the party can learn from the results.
Nearly five months after Tom Price resigned in disgrace as Health and Human Services Secretary, his successor has been confirmed—thanks in part to seven Democrats.
The Alabama House of Representatives voted Tuesday to permanently ban the state from holding special elections for U.S. Senate vacancies—you know, those things that happen when a seat in our national legislative branch opens up and we, as a people, pick who will fill it—but it is definitely not because a Democrat,…
While most of the country cringes at President Donald Trump mistaking the “nuclear button” for his genitals, at least we can take some measure of solace in this: Vice President Mike Pence being forced to eat a heaping mouthful of crow as he swears in two senators: Doug Jones—the Democrat who beat Roy Moore, the…
If Roy Moore’s campaign for U.S. Senate hadn’t been marred by credible allegations of child sexual abuse costing him the election, his final rally before losing to Doug Jones could very well be his bid’s most memorable moment. For starters, the story that old war buddy Bill Staehle told about Moore refusing to…
Alabama Senator-elect Doug Jones, the first Democrat to represent the state in the Senate since 1997, has been certified as the winner of the Dec. 12 special election over Republican Roy Moore by over 21,000 votes, in spite of Moore’s last-minute “election complaint” he filed in state court this morning. That request…
In a more perfect world, an alleged pedophile, confirmed bigot, and amateur poet would take his historic election drubbing with a modicum of dignity and slink back into whatever varmint hole he crawled out of. But this is a dark, fallen world, and disgraced former Judge Roy Moore shows no sign of admitting he lost…
Two weeks ago, Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore, an accused pedophile, in Alabama’s Senate race. But a casual and seemingly innocuous comment made by one of Jones’ supporters during a victory celebration has prompted Alabama’s Secretary of State, John Merrill, to open an an investigation into voter fraud—despite publicly…
Roy Moore was narrowly defeated by Doug Jones in the Alabama Senate race on Tuesday night, but if you were tuning into the One America News Network (OANN) you might have heard a slightly different story.
Democrat Doug Jones upset Republican Roy Moore, an alleged sexual predator and confirmed bigot, in the Alabama Senate race on Tuesday. Moore, somewhat predictably, has refused to concede the election. Instead, Moore announced in a campaign video on Wednesday, he was waiting for “military and provisional ballots” to…
Not even Fox & Friends could ignore Democrat Doug Jones’ shocking win in Tuesday night’s Alabama special election. But when forced to confront the truth that a Republican bearing the blessings of Donald Trump actually lost a Senate seat in Alabama, co-host Ainsley Earhardt did the next best thing, spinning Jones’…
Welcome to WHAT NOW, a morning round-up of the news/fresh horrors that await you today.
After what was one of the most contentious and nauseating political campaigns in recent political history, Democrat Doug Jones narrowly defeated alleged pedophile and confirmed bigot Roy Moore to represent Alabama in the Senate.
As the Republican National Committee cozies back up with accused child predator Roy Moore, his Democratic challenger Doug Jones delivered a blistering speech during a campaign event on Tuesday.

Sometimes you can’t tell what a man is worth, but Jeff Flake is not that man. He is a man of principles. A man who has the conscience of a conservative, one that tells him he must stand by his morals and raise taxes on poor people. Most importantly, he is a man who puts Country over Party.
Kellyanne Conway, counselor to President Trump, violated the Hatch Act when she commented on the Alabama Senate race during a Fox & Friends interview earlier this week—at least the former Office of Government Ethics Director, Walter Shaub, seems to think so.
