"Doctor, what have we got?" "A Republic or a Monarchy?"

Republicans had 15+ years to come up with a decent healthcare plan. It’s not coming.

Trump is backpedaling on his support for the release of the Sept. 2 boat strike video.

On December 3, he said he would have "no problem" releasing the video.

Today, he said he "didn't say that" (he did) and now says, "whatever Hegseth wants to do is OK with me."

At no point during the five-year span that Monty Python's Flying Circus aired on the BBC, from October 1969 to December 1974, could the greatest comedic minds of their time come up with a skit more grotesquely absurd than Trump placing a fake peace-prize medal over his own head.
