Congratulations to photographer Andrew Harnik who has won the White House Correspondents’ Association award for presidential news coverage with one of the greatest Oval Office photos ever captured.

Trump only really has so many rhetorical moves at this point and is rapidly regressing into fey Broadway insults, but we could see "he's losing his 'look'" and "his 'hat' doesn't play."

Mike Wallace interviews the devil.

I've just remembered when I put the theme from Death in Paradise over the title sequence from The Wire.

Part of the brilliance of Observe and Report is that it’s the suburban Taxi Driver

Can we get 10,000 RTs for this
