  • Chatham House

    After announcing his presidential candidacy, Sen. Rand Paul surges in the polls, giving a slipping Hillary Clinton a run for her (foreign) money.

  • With its funding dwindling, Obamacare advocacy group Enroll America slashes staff. Hmmm…Maybe they should sign their finances up for a bronze plan.
  • The debate over making cops wear body cameras heats up in the wake of the recorded (by a bystander) shooting of Walter Scott by lying sack of shit former Officer Michael Thomas Slager.
  • Thank you, oh fearful opponents of an armed populace! You drove U.S. firearm manufacturing to a record 10.8 million guns in 2013—doubling production in three years.
  • The U.S. considers dropping Cuba from the list of terrorism sponsors, easing closer to normalizing relations between the countries.
  • The Internal Revenue Service wants more money and staffers to inflict the tax system on us. Uh huh. Fuck off.
  • Former Republican Rhode Island senator, turned independent governor, Lincoln Chafee wants to run for president as a Democrat. Yeah, we don't care either.
  • FEMA wants to require state governments to estimate future risks associated with climate change. Yes, really. (HT: Almanian)
