President Trump is a con man. He conned people into giving to his now-defunct foundation only to use the donations for personal expenses. He conned people into spending more money than they could afford on the now-dissolved Trump University. He conned lenders into subsidizing his floundering real estate projects. The list goes on, and, as is made clear on a near-daily basis, it’s not limited to Trump’s life as a private citizen.
The pettiest grift of Trump’s presidency may be a scheme that was recently uncovered by Popular Information’s Judd Legum.

Scott Lloyd, director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, had virtually no experience working with displaced populations before the Trump administration put him in charge of the agency responsible for helping tens of thousands of refugees settle in the U.S. every year, not to mention the care of the more than 10,000 children who arrive in the country alone.
And that lack of experience has shown in his job performance. Under Lloyd, the number of children in custody has reached an all time high and the number of days those...

Jennifer Lawrence spoke during an inaugural summit at Tulane University in New Orleans over the weekend, calling out politicians for their corruption and championing bipartisanship as a way for the American people to move forward.
On Friday, the Oscar-winning actress sat down with former U.S. Federal Election Commission chairman Trevor Potter and displayed her usual charm with tongue-in-cheek questions about how a "Hollywood elite" like herself could impact change.
"If candidates or PACs break the rules, what is the punishment? A really big fine?" Lawrence asked at one point during the event.

Shortly after some of Donald Trump’s accusers called for a congressional investigation into their claims of sexual harassment and assault, a group of Democratic lawmakers called on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to look into their claims.
But with Republicans controlling both the houses of Congress—plus the executive branch of government—the chances for a Congressional inquiry already appear slim: the committee’s chairman, Representative Trey Gowdy (R-s.C.) shot down the request almost immediately, referring it to the Department of Justice, over which Trump has oversight.
The decision, according to Politico, doesn’t sit well with Democrats,...

Media members all over the country are talking about a recent New York Times story in which the publication reported that Donald Trump Jr. received an email informing him he would receive damaging information about Hillary Clinton as part of Russian government effort to aid his father’s candidacy.
