‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Literally Chains Woman Barefoot and Pregnant
Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale prides itself on painting a dark image for women in Trump’s America, even though the show has absolutely no bearing on reality.

Press Falsely Treats Trump's Rescission Proposal As 'Cuts'
The press has mostly gone off the rails in covering President Trump's proposal to rescind $15 billion in unspent funds, insisting on characterizing the move as "cuts."

In Wednesday’s must-see exchange during the White House Press Briefing, ABC senior White House correspondent Cecilia Vega grilled Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders about an early morning Trump tweeting wondering whether it was time to revoke media press credentials (presumably from the White House).

CNN anchor Jake Tapper appeared to plug his novel The Hellfire Club on ABC's The View on Wednesday.
