When Republicans threatened to call Hunter Biden, the embattled son of former Vice President Joe Biden and walking political cautionary tale, as a witness for the impeachment trial of President Trump, at least some Democrats seemed open to the idea.

So long as it meant Democrats got to hear from their dream witnesses -- namely, former national ...Read more

In the hours before Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were set to take the final debate stage before the Iowa caucuses in February, what began as a mutual protection pact between the two progressive candidates for president devolved into a he-said, she-said war of the far-left worlds.

To which I say, it's about time. And if you're a ...Read more

One morning, back in August of 2017, the gang on "Fox & Friends," President Trump's favorite news program, was in the midst of a feverish MAGA panic over nothing less than "the eradication of history," as Laura Ingraham called it.

It was just days after the Charlottesville, Va. protests, a violent and, in one tragic case, fatal clash between ...Read more

In the days between Christmas and New Year's, our country suffered a double tragedy: a shooting at a Texas church and, on the seventh night of Hanukkah, a stabbing at a rabbi's house.

Monday night, I went to a special screening of the new film "Bombshell," which tells the true story of the downfall of late Fox News honcho -- and verifiable sleaze ball -- Roger Ailes.

Having worked inside the corridors of Fox myself years ago, Jay Roach's stylized, nuanced and biting portrayal of the Ailes era felt very familiar. I know the ...Read more

As Democrats announced two articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday morning -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress -- I heard the country breathe an audible sigh of relief. Our long, national nightmare is finally over.

Anxieties over would-they or wouldn't-they, the constant public opinion polling updates, hours-long ...Read more

Tell me if this sounds like someone you know:

Brash New York businessman with a history of scattered political affiliations and controversial ideas jumps into crowded primary, spending his own money on long-shot presidential bid.

Of course, that accurately described Donald Trump in 2015. But in 2019, it also fits Michael Bloomberg.

Back in September 2018, as the Massachusetts junior senator was still mulling a 2020 bid, a new poll out of her home state sent shock waves through political circles. Fifty-eight percent of Massachusetts voters did not want Elizabeth Warren to run for president.

That was the start of a rocky few months for Warren. In October, in response to ...Read more

At a time when politics has become less and less about governing and increasingly, well, about politics, this week is perhaps the penultimate illustration.

This week the testimony began in President Trump's impeachment inquiry, and the nation is watching as members of Congress from both sides of the aisle perform for the cameras and their bases...Read more

Trying to keep up with the ever-changing positions of President Trump's loyalists is hard work.

This week, Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade, Fox News guest John Yoo, CNN contributor Sean Duffy and others suggested that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a Ukrainian-born American, war hero and Purple Heart recipient, was loyal to ...Read more
