In his speech to the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Larry Wilmore pushed the envelope hard; George Carlin would have been proud of him.

Tim Robbins is a gifted actor who's been in some great films that I'll always enjoy. "The Shawshank Redemption." "The Hudsucker Proxy."

Donald Trump may have screwed up, big time. By focusing on a populist xenophobic message that ignored the way Republican politics actually work, he may have doomed his campaign. And now he's predictably trying to incite the deluded right wing masses against the Republican Party itself: Donald Trump, Losing Ground, Tries ...

YouTube Sen. Bernie Sanders was on CNN's Charlie Rose show last night, and Rose pressed him pretty hard about his statement that Hillary Clinton was "unqualified" to be president.

Far right pastor Kevin Swanson When Donald Trump made his now-infamous statement that legal abortion needs to be banned and women who have abortions should be punished, conservative "pro-life" groups and pundits were quick to deny this was their actual position. The talking point they all agreed upon: yes, sure, they do ...

Chris Lehmann really captures the essential creepiness of Breitbart "News" in this piece for The Baffler: The Breitbart Betrayals.
