[Jokes from Jun 8, 2017] A big heat wave is expected to hit New York City this weekend. They say that we’ll be sweating like Trump while he watched the James Comey hearing. – Jimmy Fallon Happy St. Comey’s Day, everybody! Of course, everybody celebrates Comey Day if their own way. We’re kind of traditionalists […]
For 29 years, NPR has read aloud the Declaration of Independence on Independence Day, but this year they did something new, and apropos. They tweeted the entire text of the DoI, 140 characters at a time. That took 113 posts. It went about as well as might be expected. Many people who tuned in late […]
Today I was having an interesting conversation with a friend of mine, who happens to be a fairly famous computer scientist. We were discussing innovation, which led to expressing our amazement at the success of Twitter. Who could have predicted that imposing a completely artificial constraint on the length of messages would not only lead […]
[Jokes from Jun 7, 2017] Former FBI Director James Comey will appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee to spill the beans on President Trump, which when you think about it on a human level, is pretty great for James Comey. Can you imagine getting fired and then the next thing you know, you get to […]
© Ruben Bolling Finally, we have an answer to the question of how Donald Trump inspires so many followers. It doesn’t matter to them when he lies, commits nepotism, hires crooks to his administration, insults women, or acts racist, because only they know the real truth about how Trump is keeping us safe.

There’s something that has been keeping me up at night thinking. Let me walk you through it.

He, and other members of his staff have also been claiming that, even if the Russians did interfere, […]
[Jokes from Jun 6, 2017] A highly classified document was just leaked, and it suggests that Russia may have hacked into our voting systems before the election. You could tell the report was “highly classified” because it was marked, “Don’t Show Trump.” – Jimmy Fallon The NSA contractor who leaked the document is a woman […]
On Thursday, Johnny Depp put his foot in it at a film screening in the UK. It started with him making jokes about Donald Trump, who is rather unpopular in Europe. But he took one joke too far, asking “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?” referring to John Wilkes Booth and […]

Trump said he wants the entire country to be the same temperature as a Florida golf course. – Jimmy Fallon In Michigan, a Republican congressman said that God would “take care of” climate change. So […]
© Tom Toles The Republicans are still trying to repeal Obamacare. It is ironic that back when Obama was president, the Republicans didn’t have any problem passing bills to repeal the ACA, because they knew that Obama would veto them. But now, even though they control both houses of Congress and the presidency, they can’t […]
