We haven’t heard a ton from Hillary Clinton in the way of political endorsements since the election, which was either, like, six months ago or three years ago, I can never remember. But a spokesperson for the former Secretary of State confirmed to the New York Times that Clinton is endorsing Andrew Cuomo in the…
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie interviewed Hillary Clinton at a PEN World Voices Festival lecture at the Cooper Union in Manhattan on Sunday night, and she took the opportunity to confront the former Democratic presidential candidate with something that was bothering her. Why, with all of Clinton’s career accomplishments,…
New York Times reporter Amy Chozick has a new memoir out called Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling, and in it she recalls being gaslit and harassed by Clinton’s male press aides, whom she refers to as “The Guys.”
By far the stupidest part of my morning (and that’s saying a lot) is the 90 seconds I spend scrolling through the stories published by Radar Online while I was asleep. Their posting schedule is truly wild—and most mornings I find roughly 10 inflammatory, incendiary, and impossible-to-believe stories in my feed. But…
Hillary Clinton spoke at an event at Rutgers University in New Jersey on Thursday night, addressing the reaction—hers and the public’s—to her loss in the 2016 election. And when she was asked how she’d respond to critics who told her to “get off the public stage and shut up,” per the moderator’s wording, she seemed…
On Friday, Mayor of 9/11 Rudy Giuliani alit from the stalactite he spends daylight wrapped around to attend a reception for President Trump’s donors at Mar-a-Lago. There, Axios reports, he was invited to speak onstage, during which he recalled attending Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s 2005 wedding—a happy…
Fifteen minutes before every news channel in America turned to the US Capitol Building for the State of the Union address, and T minus two and a half hours before all US citizens turned on their TVs to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the much-anticipated Stormy Daniels interview–and the only 100 percent-definite moment…
Hillary Clinton refused to fire an advisor that had been accused of sexually harassing a 30-year-old woman working on her campaign in 2008, according to a report in the New York Times. Instead, Burns Strider (what a name!), the co-founder of the American Values Network and Clinton’s “faith advisor,” continued to work…
The DOJ is opening an investigation into Hillary’s goddamn emails, yet again. Can you believe it? Of course you can!
The recent “revelations” that the media industry has its own problems with sexual assault and harassment begs the question: did the disregard that some male journalists feel for women’s safety and bodily autonomy translate into how they covered Hillary Clinton during the election?
No, not that photo. That photo is from 2006. I’m talking about this photo, from last week:
Former interim DNC chair and CNN commentator, who resigned from CNN after leaking debate questions to Hillary Clinton, has more or less been eluding that the Clinton campaign rigged the nomination process. Now on Sunday, she has dialed back by clarifying that having concluded an investigation she has “no evidence,…
Donna Brazile, ex-CNN contributor and former interim chairman of the DNC, published an excerpt of her forthcoming book in Politico which makes the claim that the Clinton campaign and the DNC struck a deal that gave Clinton an “unethical” amount of control over the party prior to the nominating process. Brazile, who …
In the current White House, accusations and condemnations are strewn around like chimps flinging shit, but it turns out the most copious poopers are the Trumps. News broke Sunday that prominent slumlord/Pixar voice actor Jared Kushner used his personal email for government business, and today it’s come to light that…
Today’s lesson of the day is no, Grand Wizards are not cool, and yes, you are stupid for asking, and no, alienating Dungeon & Dragon fans is not a concern when fighting white supremacy.
Lady Gaga announced on Twitter and Instagram on Thursday that she would be unable to perform at the Brazilian music festival Rock in Rio due to health concerns, adding later that she’d been hospitalized for “severe pain.”
Martin Shkreli is a huge idiot and now he’s in jail for it. (Also, there were a bunch of other things he did that landed him there, but all, I think, generally stemming from the same core issue.)
Hillary Clinton’s memoir, What Happened, should never have been written. Or maybe it’s a “feminist manifesto.” Or perhaps Clinton’s book is an unwelcome post-mortem, inspiring little more than “dread” and an audible “collective groan” from fellow Democrats. Maybe. Or maybe that response is just base misogyny, an “…
It’s been eight sordid months and I still wince when I hear the words “President Trump.”
In an interview with Time, Kellyanne Conway discussed the lack of leadership roles in the Republican party—can you believe it?—when she got her start in politics, describing working for the GOP as a woman in the 1990s as like “walking into the men’s locker room at the Elks Club holding a bachelor party.”
