This is the best prank ever: In 1990, Spy magazine sent a check for 13 cents to a bunch of wealthy Americans. Only two people cashed the checks. One was an arms dealer. The other was Donald Trump.


Sorry, Trump fans, but here on Planet Earth, Devin Nunes is no hero


Rep. Adam Schiff on the Oversight Committee's whistleblower release: "By repeatedly overruling the adjudication decisions of career officials, it appears the White House made a regular practice of placing political considerations ahead of national security."

“Mr. President, may I place my hands on your body as I greet you?” asked @LucyFlores. “I know I must not touch you without consent”. Or, you, know, not, because that’s not how warm greetings work.
