During 48 press briefings as White House press secretary, Sean Spicer has elevated reporters from conservative outlets and drastically decreased both the number of follow-up questions granted and the amount of time devoted to answering journalists' questions compared to Josh Earnest, his Obama administration predecessor. The three major cable news outlets have also exponentially increased the amount of time spent airing Spicer's press conferences live compared to those at the end of the Obama administration, broadcasting nearly all of Spicer's briefings in their entirety.

Brian Ross, ABC News: One of President Donald Trump's closest confidants, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen, has now become a focus of the expanding congressional investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 campaign. Cohen confirmed to ABC News that House and Senate investigators have asked him "to provide information and testimony" about any contacts he had with people connected to the Russian government, but he said he has turned down the invitation.

Trump's most trusted news source, Fox and Friends, attacked multiple reports on Jared Kushner's attempt to set up secret meetings with Russia and then turned around and used one anonymous source to defend Kushner's actions and dispute the story. A persistent theme coming from Fox News' morning program is that you can't trust anonymous sources unless they unmask themselves.

It's hard to isolate a single key graf from the Rebeca Traister piece we discussed earlier, but this is certainly one of them: The anger at Clinton from some quarters - in tandem with the beatification of her from others - reminds us just how much this election tapped into unresolved and still largely unexplored issues around women and power. In the aftermath, the media has performed endless autopsies.

In the aftermath of the recent attack in Manchester, U.K., the "Trews" host and Dr. Brad Evans discuss whether there are any solutions to seemingly never-ending global conflict.

Despite Republicans' concerted efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the federal- and state-based exchanges that it created will be in operation at least through 2019. These marketplaces help individuals, families, and small businesses shop for and enroll in affordable medical insurance.

Yes we laugh at Little Tommy Friedman, age 9, and the "Suck. On. This." is extra funny coming from a Very Serious Pundit, but the reason to return to that piece over and over again is "burst the [terrorism] bubble" was the kind of thing that passed for Deep Wisdom at the time.

Interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events Leaders of the G-7 and some African countries that invited for the two-day talks pose for a family photo at the summit in Taormina, Sicily. On Saturday, President Trump set much of the world on edge when said on Twitter that he will make his long-awaited decision on whether the United States will exit the Paris climate accord in the next several days.

President Trump is once again seeming to reject the intelligence community's collective conclusion that Russia tried to interfere in last year's election, saying in a tweet early Tuesday morning that such claims are simply "a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election." "Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News," Trump wrote in a tweet from his personal account, @realDonaldTrump.

Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, second from left, will play the role of referee in the GOP attempt to partially repeal and replace Obamacare. Washington is filled with people who talk much but affect little.

Sweden is known as a bastion of progressive values and policies, but underneath the dominant ideology, there is a motivated, well-connected nativist movement that has existed for decades and is now re-emerging, armed with fake news. With a population of just under 10 million, Sweden is a small, historically ethnically homogenous country that in recent years has accepted the largest number of asylum seekers per capita of any European nation.

Even by the recent standards of Fox News, the last two weeks have sent Sean Hannity into a remarkable free fall. In his quest to provide cover to President Donald Trump's weakened administration, and unrestrained by anyone in the Fox News bureaucracy, Hannity has become the most visible national champion of a vicious and elsewhere-retracted conspiracy theory suggesting that the late Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was murdered because he was a source for WikiLeaks.

As if he has, overnight, been transformed into a master politician, Donald Trump's 27-hour trip to Israel has left many analysts mystified. Quoting former Israeli political adviser, Mitchell Barack, the New York Times referred to Trump as the 'Liberace of world leaders", in reference to flamboyant, piano player, Wladziu Valantino Liberace.

You might still be waiting for Reagan's VooDoo Economics to evenly distribute that magical trickle-down cash that stems from cutting the taxes of the A1 4ber rich. That ass-backwards plan didn't work in the 1980's and will fail even more spectacularly in Trump's America.

On May 27, 2017, I spent some time with my copy of the late Eli Sagan 's At the Dawn of Tyranny: The Origins of Individualism, Political Oppression, and the State , and this morning felt a need to spend some time with my copy of the late David Maybury-Lewis 's Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World -and did so. After spending about an hour with Millennium , I turned to CBS Sunday Morning , and quickly perceived the accuracy of the "BS" in "CBS"! For what I was seeing, and listening to, this morning was pure BS-in the sense that it was utterly "out of touch" with what is currently occurring, of utterly huge 1 importance, in our world: global warming .

Vermont, of all places, offers the latest example of how marijuana makes people crazy, the people in this case being the Republican governor and most of the Republican Party. For all the "Reefer Madness" propaganda from governments over the past century, the real madness comes from opponents of marijuana, not its users or proponents.

China and India have knocked the United States off the top spot of the index of best places to invest in renewables. Analysts cite the impact of Trump's policies in favor of coal and petroleum.

The murder in College Park, Maryland of Richard Collins III, an African-American student who had recently been commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army and was days away from his graduation from Bowie State University, underscores the violence of America's far-right wing. Sean Urbanski , the University of Maryland student who allegedly stabbed Collins to death, belongs to a racist Facebook group called Alt-Reich: Nation .
