Jeb Bush released the first batch of what will eventually amount to thousands of pages of his emails today, and along with it, the personal information of what will eventually be thousands of his former constituents who did not consent to having their information released. » 2/10/15 11:15am 2/10/15 11:15am

Congressman Louie Gohmert is not happy with his female Republican colleagues, who just straight-up refused to get on board with a proposed bill that would've banned abortion after 20 weeks. In a conference call with conservative pastor Rev. E.W. Jackson, Gohmert complained that "our Republican females," as he calls… » 1/27/15 5:50pm 1/27/15 5:50pm

So: Rand Paul, 2016 presidential hopeful (LOL), is lonely and mad about the fact that Mitt Romney, 2016 presidential hopeful (LOL), is hanging out with Jeb Bush, 2016 presidential hopeful (LOL), in Utah right now. » 1/22/15 7:45pm 1/22/15 7:45pm

After their embarrassing little disagreement earlier, House Republicans have managed to pass a bill tightening federal funding for abortions. The bill would permanently ban nearly all federal funding for abortions. If it makes to the White House, the President will veto it. » 1/22/15 2:40pm 1/22/15 2:40pm

It looks like some of their whackadoodle war on reproductive rights isn't off to such a great start for the GOP. » 1/21/15 10:25pm 1/21/15 10:25pm

Last night, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst put us all firmly to sleep with a gentle fairytale about our glorious new life in Tea Party America. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a Florida Republican, was set to deliver an almost identical Spanish-language version of Ernst's speech (minus the stuff about being a humble farm girl).… » 1/21/15 9:50am 1/21/15 9:50am

Iowa junior Senator Joni Ernst, who rose to national prominence by working a record number of castration double entendres into an early campaign ad (Respect!), will be delivering the GOP's State of the Union rebuttal. This is fucking amazing news. » 1/15/15 5:30pm 1/15/15 5:30pm

Good, great, now this is happening: the GOP plans to use its new majority in the Senate to try to pass a federal ban on abortion after 20 weeks. The idea, of course, is to inch ever-closer to overturning Roe v. Wade, because this is the party of small government and minimal interference into the private lives of… » 12/08/14 2:50pm 12/08/14 2:50pm

Joan Jett! Tracee Ellis Ross! Carrie Brownstein! A dancing ovary puppet! Everyone you ever thought was cool got together and remixed "Bad Reputation" to help you vote in next week's midterm elections on Nov. 4th. Why? The War on Women rages on and Republicans are trying to stop The Ladies from voting because we … » 10/28/14 6:10pm 10/28/14 6:10pm

Remember when U.S. Republicans were wooing Latinos in 2012? Well, the political party has ditched them for the LGBTQ vote and The Daily Show's Al Mardigal is none too pleased. In fact, Madrigal believes 'Latinos were the original gays!' and then he mentions something about mojitos being a "gay drink." » 10/10/14 11:50am 10/10/14 11:50am

A National Review columnist who has made a career out of failing to be Ann Coulter made some bowties spin this weekend with comments that because he believes abortion is murder, all of the whorebags who get them should be hanged just like in the old Wild West. » 9/29/14 1:00pm 9/29/14 1:00pm

Scott DesJarlais — the conservative, pro-life Tennessee Congressman who entered into a sexual relationship with a female patient of his and then pressured his mistress to have an abortion, all before divorcing his wife — has finally been declared victor in his Republican primary in Tennessee.

It’s official, this is the Week Of Fools. They are everywhere, even *sarcastic gasp* in the form of a Republican trying to remember the term for ... you know, that thing that stops women from getting pregnant. They're always up in arms about it ... oh yeah, birth control! » 8/15/14 1:40pm 8/15/14 1:40pm

A proposed Republican bill aims to bravely stand up for a woman's right to pay for her own birth control out-of-pocket. Uh, thanks? » 7/16/14 1:10pm 7/16/14 1:10pm

AIDS, AIDS, AIDS. Where does it come from? Why does it happen? What is it even? If you're ever taken a health-ed class, you know a little bit about this mystery disease that has stumped scientists for decades.
