Since last Tuesday, centrist pundits have been apoplectic with fear that some progressive Democrats running to the left on immigration will harm the whole party’s chances in November and beyond. The underlying assumption in this argument is that the farthest left you can go on immigration, if you want to win in a…
Tuesday night wasn’t just the Democrats’ Eric Cantor moment. That quickly became the media narrative of the Democratic primary in New York’s 14th Congressional District well before the race was even called, but it’s an incomplete one. No, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s win over Rep. Joe Crowley yesterday was bigger than…
Alec Baldwin—who serves on the board of the liberal advocacy group People for the American Way—has used his platform as an Honorary Resister to talk about why he thinks the Republican Party should have some power to stop the government from doing anything remotely useful.
Leaders like Bob Corker, Jeff Flake, and Paul Ryan are retiring, and John McCain is in poor health—meaning there will soon be a void in Congress where all those establishment GOP figures shaking their fists at Donald Trump as they deal out his agenda used to stand. Luckily for the party, Mitt Romney, who you may…
Evangelical Baptist pastor Robert Jeffress has said a lot of crazy, offensive things. He once gave a sermon saying that both Islam and Mormonism are “heresy from the pit of hell,” and that you “can’t be saved being a Jew.” He also claimed that Judaism leads people “to an eternity of separation from God in hell,” and …
Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign was defined by what was, at the time, a very brazen approach to lying. He was a big old liar, telling big lies, small lies, inconsequential lies, stupid lies; lies, all the time. And now that he’s wading back into the waters of politics, running for U.S. Senate in Utah, he’s…
Mitt Romney has a message for his supporters, and that message is simply this: He is not actually a lizard person and/or malfunctioning robot. Instead, he is a very ordinary human who loves very ordinary human things, like meat.
When former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney announced he was running for Senate in February, few expected him to face much of a challenge.
Paul Ryan built his career as a congressman on an unwavering commitment to making life harder for the people most in need of help. Lately, he has done next to nothing to resist Donald Trump’s agenda. But today he announced his retirement from Congress, and so idiots of all ideological stripes rushed to their keyboards…
Mitt Romney, who is currently trying to become a U.S. senator in Utah, bragged on Monday about his extraordinary ability to somehow be more awful to immigrants than President Donald Trump.
I love dogs! Big dogs, small dogs, fluff-o’s, freaking gnarly-ass dogs, you name ‘em, I love ‘em.
Mitt Romney, a six-foot-two oil slick with teeth, is back on the political scene, running for Orrin Hatch’s Senate seat in Utah. But in my mind, no matter what he does, I will always be thinking of Romney in the context of the 2008 presidential election, when we found out about his dog Seamus.
Mitt Romney announced last week that he is running for Utah Senator Orrin Hatch’s seat. Mitt Romney also likes the taste of Donald Trump’s shoe leather, the coarse, grimy, electrifying flavor of pure humiliation. So when Trump tweeted an endorsement of his candidacy on Monday night, Romney responded the only way he…
In an attempt to shore up the election of Mitt Romney as Utah’s next senator, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is openly urging the president—what with Trump’s flawless record backing Congressional candidates—to support Romney’s bid, in none other than The “failing” New York Times.
After months of speculation over the status of Mitt Romney’s likely Senate run in Utah, we’re finally inching closer to an official announcement.
After a long “will he or won’t he” period, Utah senator and very old man Orrin Hatch finally announced on Tuesday that he will retire at the end of his term. At 83 years old, Hatch is the longest serving Senate Republican, and his tenure will span seven terms over four decades.
Welcome to WHAT NOW, a morning round-up of the news/fresh horrors that await you today.
