Olivia Wilde’s mom Leslie Cockburn has officially lost the Virginia congressional race.
As the midterm elections came to a close on Tuesday, it was revealed that Cockburn, who was running as a Democrat in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District race, had fallen to Republican candidate Denver Riggleman.
Prior to the results, Wilde, 34, shared a sweet message to her mother on Instagram. Alongside two black-and-white photos of the pair, the actress explained that she was proud of Cockburn regardless of the outcome.
“As we wait for the votes to come in, I just want to say I’m proud of you and I love you,...

On Wednesday morning, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon appeared to join those who have expressed varying degrees of interest in running against President Trump in 2020. “I think I could beat Trump,” Dimon said. “I’m as tough as he is, I’m smarter than he is. I would be fine. He could punch me all he wants, it wouldn’t work with me. I’d fight right back.” The billionaire threw in a dig about the millions of dollars Trump borrowed from his father to help spur his real estate empire.

The President returned from his Saturday Virginia golfing outing looking tanned and rested. Well, at least tanned, and he wasted no time getting back into the online turf wars.
Starting last night, the President – who rebutted the attacks from Sen. John McCain’s memorial service by merely clapping back with his campaign theme, “Make America Great Again” – was back in attack mode. He began his regular Sunday storm last night, and continued this morning with vigor, taking on the Russia collusion investigation and bad trade deals.
He also found time to do a few shout-outs to supporters, including Virginia Republican Senate candidate Corey Stewart, golfer Tiger Woods, and political analyst Dan Bongino.
Today’s tweetstorm so far:
….The fact is that African/American unemployment is now the lowest in the history of our country. Same with Asian, Hispanic and almost every other group. The...

The first thing to understand about Corey Stewart, Virginia’s long-shot Republican Senate candidate and perhaps America’s purest political distillation of Donald Trump, is that he’s crazy. I found out when I sent a routine e-mail to his press office, in hopes of obtaining an event schedule. In the campaign version of dialing 411 and having the Verizon CEO pick up, an angry Stewart himself answered:
Rolling Stone has been the most misleading left-leaning publication we’ve worked with. Is there any good reason for us to cooperate with you?...

“Fascism – not just a word to scream at your dad any more,” Samantha Bee said at the top of Full Frontal.
Fascism is back “for real,” she told her late night viewers, in case any of them hadn’t noticed.
“From the rise of the alt right, to the horror of President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policy, to the marketing of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf as a hit young adult novel, authoritarianism and racism are creeping into every part of our once-okay institutions,” she cautioned.
“And not just super-star races like Donald Trump. There are lots of eager young monsters out there paying their dues, getting ever closer to a shot at the big time,” she said, introducing a show segment: Facists To Watch 2018.
It included Corey Stewart, a Gop senate hopeful running in Virginia, endorsed by white nationalist and anti-semites. Stewart won the Republican primary, and has made campaign appearances with Jason Kessler,...

This weekend marks one year since white supremacists descended on Charlottesville, Virginia, and instigated a bloody, deadly riot. Two days later, President Trump gave them a pass, arguing that there was “blame on both sides,” referring to the counter-protesters. The president wanted the American people to know that some of these white supremacists were “very fine people.” One member of this group murdered Heather Heyer — who was white, thereby demonstrating in the worst way how racism affects us all. From the jump, the white supremacists taking part in the “Unite...

Sacha Baron Cohen is an entertainer, not an educator. His new Showtime series, Who is America?, doesn’t respond to the question that its title poses. Instead, Cohen invites us to laugh at the answer.
Still, the chameleonic Cohen finds truth in the course of his deception. In the two weeks since his show premiered, we have seen “Erran Morad,” his fake Israeli anti-terrorism expert, coach former Republican lawmakers and gun zealots to advocate for the arming of schoolchildren. This past Sunday, the “Morad” character got Georgia state representative Jason...
