THE ANNUAL WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER FIASCO. Over the weekend, the White House Correspondents’ Association abruptly canceled the performance of comedian Amber Ruffin, originally scheduled for the organization’s April 26 annual dinner.

The Trump administration announced earlier this month that it would revoke $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University, punishing the school for allegedly allowing antisemitism to flourish on campus and failing to protect Jewish students.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) seem centrist, and that’s saying something. Crockett recently referred to Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), who is paralyzed from the waist down and in a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.” And that […]

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could only have been confirmed in the glow of Trump’s Golden Age. His resume boasts commendable highlights, particularly his military service and Ivy League education, but there was nothing that qualified him to head a department with 3.4 million personnel and an $850 billion budget. An impressive man, sure — but […]
Alt-right influencer and self-described “alpha male” Andrew Tate is in hot water. Again. The hard-right internet celebrity is already facing prosecution for alleged sex crimes in Romania and the United Kingdom. Now, Tate could also face arrest in the United States.

Columbia University is still acting as if rampant antisemitism on its campus is nothing to be concerned about.
