Budget

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host-of-the-week Jordan Klepper tried to rationalize all the anti-Elon Musk vandalism going on throughout the country. Kimmel insisted that arson and vandalism is bad but still portrayed them as what happens when you “celebrate firing thousands of people” and do “one, maybe two Nazi salutes.” Meanwhile, Klepper was less reasonable…

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were eating each other alive during Wednesday’s episode. Viewers probably had to turn down the volume on their TVs as they yelled at each other and argued over whether or not Democrats were infighting about how they should have shut down the government. One yelled about how there was no infighting at all, while one acknowledge that they themselves…

On Tuesday, the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View finally got their highly anticipated chance to rage and vent at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for leading nine other Democrats to vote for the Republican Continuing Resolution to avoid a government shutdown. Their reactions ranged from simply asking “why” to questioning his ability to lead and suggesting he should “step…

There is a tendency among some people to believe that, unlike other late night hosts, Jon Stewart goes after both sides. However, that is only really true if you consider going after Democrats for not being left enough to be equal treatment. On Monday’s edition of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Stewart ranted at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for not shutting down the…

MSNBC Senior Washington Correspondent and incoming The Weekend Host Eugene Daniels gave us a preview of what to expect, as he lamented the “missed opportunity” by Democrats while on the Meet the Press panel.

Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks had an actual debate on Friday’s PBS News Hour. However, it was more of an inside-the-family argument about the best way for Democrats to stand up to President Donald Trump. Capehart argued that, after Senate Democrats declined to shut down the government, the party needs to grow “a spine,” while…

On Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360, CNN gave liberal Senator Angus King (I-ME) a forum to accuse President Donald Trump of abusing his constitutional power with his actions since taking office. And on Thursday morning, MSNBC's Morning Joe followed suit with their own interview with him entirely devoted to this topic.

On Wednesday’s PBS News Hour, co-host Amna Nawaz tried emotional blackmail to stop spending cuts – any kind of spending cut – in an interview with Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) chairman of the House Budget Committee. After challenging Arrington on Medicaid spending in the just-passed House GOP budget framework (“….Is it possible for you to guarantee that none of the 70 million people…

President Donald Trump has entered his second term with a bold agenda and unprecedentedly rapid action. In the first month of his presidency, he signed 73 executive orders; he unleashed his Department of Government Efficiency, spearheaded by Elon Musk, to identify waste, fraud and abuse across executive branch agencies; he deployed his foreign policy team to the Middle East to broker an…

Speaker Mike Johnson popped CNN’s bubble on Wednesday, and The Source host Kaitlan Collins was not happy about it. During an interview, Collins tried to tell Johnson that he simply couldn’t say that the anti-DOGE protestors who are showing up at town halls across the country are paid activists.

PolitiFact finally found time to fact-check a Democrat on Tuesday. Unfortunately, writer Louis Jacobson refused to give Washington Sen. Patty Murray’s false claim a false rating when she declared that, since 2001, GOP tax cuts have done more than anything else to add to the deficit, instead giving the claim a “half true rating.”

When PBS News Hour reporter Laura Barron Lopez spoke on Monday with the recently resigned IRS commissioner Daniel Werfel, it was the tax-funded news network’s latest defense against DOGE’s cuts in federal spending and staff reductions. PBS dutifully crammed the hypothetical budget cut highway with awful-sounding blockades, and added an old-fashioned soak-the-rich twist.

The President of the United States looked his chief budget cutter in the eye, saying, "You’re a victim of sabotage by the press. They’re trying to bring you down because of what you’ve helped us accomplish."

New York Times columnist David Brooks is theoretically supposed to be PBS News Hour’s conservative half of its weekly Friday news recap with Washington Post associate editor and MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart. However, he constantly fails to live up to this arrangement, and this Friday was no exception, as he alleged that people all over the world will die because the Trump administration simply…
