Every year a special day is dedicated to the women who raised us, wiped our tears (and butts), marched over to our 4th grade teachers demanding to know why her perfect child received a ‘D’ on the latest homework assignment, stayed up late taking temperatures and then was back at it again in the …

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that is to be taken as seriously as the type of tequila you put into your frozen margarita and any Mexpert knows that no margarita is the same – just ask Don Julio. Recognizing the importance that Americans have placed on a Mexican holiday that Mexico …

FAMOUS FORECAST Ugh.   THURSDAY JAM Brought to you by Jamal Ware of the House of Representatives.  My Throwback Thursday is R.E.M.’s “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” because it’s the end of the political world as we know it (And I Feel Fine). Been a R.E.M. fan since Throwback …

How’s your hangover? Ours is still kicking and we’re confident it will see us through the rest of the week. This past Saturday was the 2016 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, but the partying started well before the weekend and Sunday hangovers were nursed with more booze and brunch. It was the eighth and final …

So here’s the deal: at the end of every month we’re going to give you our unsolicited commentary on what happened during said month. From politics and pop culture to pretty useless information, you’ll be able to find it in our Monthly Round Up. (you don’t have to tell us how …

    Another day, another “major” announcement. Today’s is brought to you by Ted Cruz or, as Trump likes to call him, “Lyin’ Ted“. Look, we’re not here to speculate, but he didn’t earn that nickname without a good reason. The media claims that Ted is announcing Carly Fiorina as …

She may look all cute and petite, but don’t let that fool you. The girl’s got guns – literally. Emily Miller is an unapologetic journalist and author of Emily Gets Her Gun, which chronicles her attempt (and eventual success) at obtaining a legally registered gun in DC, only after being a victim …

Statistics show a lot of Mike Robinsons throughout the continental United States. If you don’t know a “Mike Robinson”, you’ve probably come across one at some point in your life. Case in point: now. DC has one and we want to congratulate him for setting the bar high for the …

Sabrina Siddiqui, formerly of the Huffington Post, is currently a political reporter for The Guardian – but you already know that because you follow her on Twitter. She’s a fierce journalist, power woman, political devotee (shocking), foodie, and lover of all things fluffy. Naturally, we had just had to know MORE about Sabrina so …

High fives are the best way to acknowledge someone’s existence. Think about it – a kiss is reserved for a finite group of people in your life, hugging gets very awkward (especially when the other person is Yao Ming), hand shakes can spread bacteria that lead to bed rest, and a wave might actually not be …

Nearly a year ago, talks of redesigning the ten dollar bill circulated faster than U.S. currency.
