Few filmmakers are able to balance Academy Award-contending projects with irreverent, esoteric comedy like Paul Thomas Anderson, and the 53-year-old director’s next project looks like it’ll perfectly toe the line between the two. Anderson’s new film is characteristically shrouded in secrecy, but the drips of confirmed details and the intriguing rumors make it easily one of the most fascinating movies on the horizon. Anderson is working with Hollywood veterans Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, and...
Donald Trump faces an over $400 million judgment for his civil fraud trial Monday while he’s in court with Stormy Daniels in his criminal hush money case. Former Senior Trump White House Official Omarosa Manigault Newman joins Alex Witt to discuss what can be expected on Trump’s busy day.
When Paul Manafort was brought up on federal criminal charges exactly seven years ago this week, Donald Trump did what he always does when someone close to him runs into trouble: He pretended to barely know Manafort. Indeed, the Trump White House at the time described him as a random staffer “who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time” on the Republican’s 2016 campaign. It was, at the time, a difficult claim to take seriously. After all, Manafort did serve as the campaign...
The House Republicans’ big plans to impeach President Joe Biden have imploded, forcing them to acknowledge they don’t have the votes to impeach on the flimsy evidence they’ve scraped together. So they’re trying to figure out how to make 14 months of wasted time investigating Biden look like it was serious, and have come up with the idea of packaging it all up in a criminal referral and sending it to the Department of Justice. That’s coming straight from House Oversight Committee Chair James...
Liberal economist Paul Krugman has aggressively defended President Joe Biden's economic policies in his New York Times column, often emphasizing that the United States, under Biden's watch, has enjoyed its lowest unemployment figures in more than half a century.But Krugman has also lamented the fact that many of Donald Trump's voters wrongly believe that he would be better for them on the economy — a subject the economist addressed during an appearance on The New Republic's podcast.In the...
In the annals of American political sleaze, few figures are quite as remarkable as Paul Manafort, the former lobbyist, campaign operative and chair of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential bid. Given the ignominy of Manafort’s fall and the extraordinary scale of his corruption, one might have thought even Trump wouldn’t want to touch him with a 10-foot pole. But apparently, Trump wants to involve Manafort in the 2024 campaign. The Washington Post reported that discussions are underway for Manafort...
From the Nothing Matters News Desk comes this report: Donald Trump is considering bringing back Paul Manafort as a top campaign adviser. In any time other than the Trump era, this might be shocking. Manafort is a disgraced political operator and lobbyist who was pushed out as Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 after allegations emerged […]

Kushner is reportedly closing in on lucrative real estate deals in Albania and Serbia. He's working with Ric Grenell, who served as acting DNI under Trump, ambassador to Germany and special envoy to the Balkans
On paper, coup-attempting fascist leader and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is about $4 billion richer now. That’s thanks to some truly bizarre stock market shenanigans that assert his dorky little Twitter clone, Truth Social, to be worth $7 billion despite bringing in only $3.5 million in revenues while losing $45 million to do it. The man could retire in Moscow and be treated like the crooked king he always wanted to be for however many years of life he has left....
