Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and mob–style fixer Michael Cohen is drowning in a sea of legal trouble. His latest problems are described in a bombshell report by McClatchy that if true, could provide a key legal link for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with…

Sergei Skripal, a former Russian spy living in the UK, is “improving rapidly” after being poisoned by a nerve agent, according to the latest report by his doctors.

Patrick Donahoe worked with the United States Postal Service for a total of 39 years until his retirement in February of 2015, serving the final four-and-change years of his career as Postmaster General. He knows the agency inside and out, and—shocker—he told UBS analysts today that Amazon is profitable for the USPS,…
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt probably should been fired a dozen times by now.

If you thought former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was going to fuck off into the sunset after he and his 14 percent approval rating left office earlier this year, guess again: Christie has a new job as an on-air contributor for ABC News, and on Sunday, he did some commentating.
Earlier this month, CNN’s Brian Stelter broke the news that Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner or operator of nearly 200 television stations in the U.S., would be forcing its news anchors to record a promo about “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.” The script, which parrots…
President Donald Trump’s dumb feud with Amazon—a company he almost certainly hates solely because it’s owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Trump-critical Washington Post—continued on Saturday with another series of incoherent tweets.
