There’s a dance-based competition show currently airing Mondays at 9 pm. New episodes land on Fox. Cat Deeley’s the host. And yet, despite those familiar trappings, or the title that runs across the screen at the start of each episode, I’m having trouble believing that the show in question is actually So You Think You […]
Not only is the 2024 presidential election weirder than we imagine, but it is weirder than we can imagine. Former President Donald Trump enjoys an insurmountable 22-point lead among people who don't vote. Presidentish Joe Biden has an insurmountable nine-point lead among those who do.

Most GOP senators have fallen in line with Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign to return to the White House, starting from the top with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. They’re with him despite everything, including Jan. 6 when he unleashed a mob on the Capitol that threatened their physical safety, if not their lives.

The least successful House speaker in history—the only one to be ousted—is taking time out of his revenge agenda to take a stab at rewriting history to somehow make himself the hero. That includes a Georgetown University event called “How Strong Is Our Democracy?
