There’s a bit of both in this week’s recommendations. 1. Elbow, Giants of All Sizes Beloved at home in the U.K. but largely unknown in North America, the

As Apple endures intense scrutiny for its decision to remove an app that seemingly enabled Hong Kong protesters track police movement, another deferential gesture to China appears to have emerged.

It’s October, so that means we have a reason to celebrate some of the best in Halloween-set films and gothic delights. And there’s no film that fits that bill better than the 1994 cult icon, The Crow. The original film was born in tragedy and released in the shadow of the on-set death of its

When you’re defending yourself against allegations of corruption, as Donald Trump is, and are trying to make the case that you acted completely appropriately when you leaned on another country to investigate your political rival, it’s generally considered inadvisable for your personal attorney to be a key player in the plot that might get you
(Photo: Artur Widak / NurPhoto via Getty) A thermometer isn’t blue, red, orange—or green. It doesn’t give us a different answer based on which political party we support.

During a campaign rally in Minneapolis, Minn., on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump‘s team played Prince‘s iconic 1984 smash hit Purple Rain, and the late singer’s estate is not pleased about it.

Should the House impeach Donald Trump, 67 Senators—or a two thirds majority—must then vote to remove him from office. In practice, this means that 20 Republican senators must go against their own party to boot the president. At present, this seems impossible, or at least highly unlikely. Trump still enjoys the support of a vast
Disheartened by the 2016 presidential election, anti-bullying activist and abortion rights champion Marie Newman decided to challenge longtime Illinois Rep. Daniel Lipinski.

For however “perfect” as he believed it to be, President Donald Trump‘s now-infamous phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly raised concerns among administration officials as soon as Trump hung up the phone. As the Washington Post reported Thursday, however, that wasn’t the first time aides had raised objections about how the president was
On July 30, Lindsey Graham was in his office in Washington when he pressed his ear to a phone.

President Donald Trump‘s recent decision to allow a Turkish invasion into Syria that threatens U.S. allies has put the president’s relations with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan under fresh scrutiny—and a new report is likely to only add to the controversy. Bloomberg reported Wednesday on a conversation Trump had in the latter half of 2017
Donald Trump has been entirely dismissive and loudly critical of the current impeachment proceedings, just as he was with the entire Mueller investigation before it, repeatedly calling it a “witch hunt” (or, today, a “wirch hunt”) and a “partisan hit job.” But he’s still managing to hit new levels of obstruction and incompetence.
