In a speech to the United Nations, First Lady Melania Trump revisited her campaign promise to end cyberbullying by calling on world leaders to teach children the importance of the golden rule. Many have accused the FLOTUS of being a hypocrite for purporting to care about bullying while defending her husband and his notorious cyberbullying antics. But others think Melania is treated unfairly—her de…

President Trump wanted a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue for his inauguration, and his administration is reportedly planning a "massive" military parade in Washington D.C. for July 4, 2018. Many are uncomfortable with the idea: military parades are often associated with dictators, not democracies, and spending millions on a parade seems wasteful. But others argue we should celebrate Ameri…

The Virginia gubernatorial race between Democrat Ralph Northam and Republican Ed Gillespie is a close one and has been unique in its civility—especially given the current political climate.

In a last-ditch effort, Republican Senators Bill Cassidy and Lindsey Graham introduced another Obamacare repeal bill that critics are claiming is the worst one yet. After months of failed healthcare attempts—despite years of repeal-and-replace rhetoric—Republicans are insisting this is their last chance to follow through on their promise and repeal Obamacare once a for all.

But supporters argue America's safety and military must come first—with threats like North Korea on the horizon, cutti…

In a recent NPR interview with Terry Gross, Hillary Clinton said she wouldn't rule out challenging the 2016 election results given the mounting evidence of Russian interference.

In his first address to the United Nations, President Trump called the Iran nuclear deal an "embarrassment" and "one of the worst" deals the U.S. has ever made. Critics argue the Iran nuclear deal was a diplomatic debacle—Iran has a history of noncompliance and they aren't convinced the deal will actually prevent a nuclear Iran. But many world leaders say the deal is necessary to "avoid proliferat…

In his first appearance at the U.N. General Assembly, President Trump gave a speech in which he vowed to "stop Islamic terrorism," called Iran a "rogue nation" and threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea—referring to Kim Jong-un as "rocket man." Many felt Trump's address weakened America's standing in the global community. But others believe Trump's speech was his best yet, strengthening Ameri…

Celebrities often use award shows to voice their political opinions, and the 2017 Emmys were no different. With Stephen Colbert as host, a guest appearance from Sean Spicer and a particularly heated political climate, many of the night's stars were not shy in voicing their anti-Trump opinions. But critics say entertainers are meant to entertain, and should not use an award show to lecture people o…
