The election of Arizona Rep. Krysten Sinema to the Senate was one of the few successes the Democrats had in that chamber last Tuesday, but even before she takes office, she’s fucking up. Bad.

Exactly one week after announcing plans to overhaul the U.S. asylum process to punitively bar certain migrants from claiming asylum, President Donald Trump made it official on Thursday, altering the already sadistic rules by which asylum seekers can—and cannot—enter the U.S.

If you are at all familiar with the racist immigration-themed ad that President Trump’s campaign released last week, you are probably aware that it is extremely racist. The video, which Trump himself tweeted out last week, was covered by CNN and other sites, including Splinter. CNN also refused to run the ad on its…

One of the persistent unanswered questions about the Donald Trump era is how to cover his bullshit lies without just spreading his bullshit lies even further. This is particularly salient as the midterms rush to a nightmarish close, with the Republicans doing everything they can to frighten their base of old white…

Secretary of Defense James Mattis is, according to the vast majority of people who have met him or served under him in the Marines, a courageous, disciplined, and efficient leader. Mattis’s reputation for fairness, honor etc. is so strong that it has even endured his job as Secretary of Defense in the Trump…

President Trump will send more than 5,000 active duty soldiers to help “harden” the U.S.-Mexico border in the coming days, the Pentagon announced on Monday. The massive deployment is the latest extreme(ly racist) overreaction by the Trump administration to the caravan of several thousand Central American asylum…

Speaking at the Boston Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society on Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions was confronted by a Methodist minister who calmly and politely used Bible verses to remind Sessions just how harmful his tenure at the Department of Justice has been on some of the most vulnerable members of…

Fox Business has pulled from rotation an episode of Lou Dobbs’ show in which guest Chris Farrell, of the right-wing group Judicial Watch, said the migrant caravan from Central America is a plot hatched by George Soros and the State Department.

Fox News continued their long tradition of extremely awful anti-immigration coverage on Tuesday. And by “coverage,” I mean having reporter Griff Jenkins literally spring out of the bushes like a generic white guy jack-in-the-box in order to “foil” (his words) undocumented migrants attempting to cross the Rio Grande…

As the latest caravan of Central American asylum seekers inches closer to the United States’ southern border (as of Monday, they were still over 1,000 miles away), Republicans have grown increasingly hysterical (and racist) in their doom and gloom analysis of what this all means for America.

Fox News, in its infinite capacity to sow fear and misinformation, is running with a new line of anti-immigrant conspiracy theory this week, with multiple guests and hosts on Monday floating the possibility that the migrant caravan from Honduras is sheltering ISIS fighters.

For those of you fortunate enough not to know who Matt Schlapp is, allow me to ruin your day.

Leave it to Fox News to take the complex, emotionally wrenching issue of immigration, and twist it into three minute segment that played less like somber reporting on a serious issue and more like a ringside announcer calling a professional wrestling match.

On Wednesday morning, Florida representative Matt Gaetz posted a video of men handing out money to people allegedly part of the migrant caravan traveling through Central America to the United States. Gaetz accompanied the video, which he initially claimed was shot in Honduras, with a wildly racist conspiracy theory…

Two of the Trump administration’s top ghouls apparently got into a screaming match with one another outside the Oval Office on Thursday, which honestly sounds pretty much what I’d expect on a weekday afternoon in the White House.

President Donald Trump kicked off his Thursday with an unhinged attack on four separate Central American countries acting, he insisted, at the behest of...congressional Democrats. Oh, and he also threatened to declare martial law in order to entirely shut down the United State’s southern border with Mexico. All before…

The midterm election is still weeks away, but for President Donald Trump, that’s plenty of time for his tuna casserole brain to kick into gear and immediately start distancing himself from what polling suggests could be a total catastrophe for congressional Republicans.

On Friday, a group of Hondurans left the city of San Pedro Sula, with the explicitly stated goal of reaching the United States. By this week, the caravan had reportedly swelled to more than 1,000 people. Honduras is one of the most dangerous countries in the world, with thousands of its citizens forced to flee rampant…

Two of the biggest think tanks in Democratic politics, the centrist Third Way and the more liberal Center for American Progress, have come together to tell Democrats to pipe down about immigration, because bringing the Trump administration’s unbearable cruelty to light might lose them a couple of votes that were…

Remember how the policy of separating families at the border worked out so well for the Trump administration last time? All of those harrowing pictures, videos, and sounds from what some critics dubbed Trump’s “baby jails?” Kirstjen Nielsen getting chased out of a restaurant? Allegations of abuse? The evidence that…
