The President Is Now Making 22 False Claims a Day. Media Coverage Has Got to Reflect That.
 
In case you were holding out hope that the president's word was still worth a damn, you might consider the findings from the Washington Post this fine Monday. They've been tracking the false claims this president made from day one of his presidency, and in short, he's been continually upping the stakes. It took Trump 601 days to reach 5,000 false claims in public—a prodigious rate. In 2018, he was throwing out 15 a day. But over the last 200 days in particular, he's outdone himself.

The Game of Thrones Will Kill Cersei Lannister. She's Known From the Beginning
 
George R.R. Martin has always loved wordplay. And when they call Cersei the Mad Queen, it's not just because of her unhinged behavior—it's because anger defines her. And while we won't know Cersei's ultimate fate until Game of Thrones ends in May, fans seem to agree that she's doomed to go the way of her children. Even Cersei would agree with that prediction—she's known it since she was a young woman. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Trump's Choice of Rick Scott to Build a Republican Healthcare Plan Shows the Henhouse Is Full of Foxes
 
Apparently, the grift du jour is pretending that the administration*, and the Republican Party behind it, actually has a replacement plan ready to go if and when the Supreme Court scuttles the Affordable Care Act, which the Department of Justice last week announced it would no longer defend. There is no plan. There is no plan to create a plan. There is no plan to create a plan to create a plan. The administration*'s healthcare plan is a chimera. It's a Yeti. It's a sasquatch. Whatever "plan" eventually is trotted out will be 90 percent air. You know this, because of the person the administration* has chosen to lead the fight for the "plan" which will never exist. It is the equivalent of hiring Bernie Madoff as Fed chair. Read More

Nipsey Hussle's The Marathon Clothing Brand Is a Big Part of the Late Rapper's Legacy
 
Nipsey Hussle was more than a rapper. Though his music will doubtlessly—and deservedly—be one of the main things he's remembered for after his untimely shooting death on March 31, he was also an entrepreneur with his own fashion brand. The rise of The Marathon Clothing as a company roughly tracked with the rise of Hussle as an artist, dating all the way back to the rapper's music video for "Hussle in the House."
