Andy Cush · 04/15/16 08:35AMLike an acoustic guitarist doing shaky Jack Johnson covers at a crowded happy hour, Ted Cruz prattled on about his ideas for America or some bullshit at the back of the room, while attendees at last night’s New York City GOP gala—who can barely hear each other in here, Jesus—just tried to have a good time with their friends.

Ashley Feinberg · 04/11/16 09:44PMTonight in Albany, Donald Trump ended an hour-and-a-half long rant with one of his most unintelligible, yell-y diatribes yet. It was, in a certain light, beautiful.
Hillary Clinton Tries to Prove She's Not Racist With Awkward Joke About "Colored People Time"
Ashley Feinberg · 04/11/16 12:22PMComing off her husband’s hard to watch exchange with Black Lives Matters protestors last week, you’d think Hillary Clinton would be extra sensitive to anything that could even potentially paint her as racist right now. Which makes her and Bill de Blasio’s ill-advised joke about “C.P. time” or “colored people time” at a dinner this week all the more bizarre.

Andy Cush · 04/07/16 09:58AMHillary Clinton took the New York City subway this morning, to show that she is a woman of the people. She swiped her MetroCard once, and the turnstile didn’t turn. She swiped it again—nothing. A third time—no dice. The debacle leaves one question in the minds of New Yorkers across the five boroughs.
Wisconsin Republican Accidentally Tells the Truth About Voter ID Laws
Jordan Sargent · 04/06/16 08:30AMVoter identification laws are commonly understood to be just one of the more common methods by which Republican lawmakers across the country attempt to suppress voter turnout. Rarely do said lawmakers openly admit that such policies are merely tools to swing elections, but I guess Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Republican from Wisconsin, was riding a liiiiiiiittle too high after Ted Cruz’s win over Donald Trump in the state’s primary last night.
