The Schmooze Stephen Miller’s 3rd Grade Teacher Suspended After Revealing He Ate Glue, Was A ‘Loner’
Many of President Trump’s White House appointees have had their names plastered across headlines throughout his presidency. Some for tawdry personal affairs, others for misbehavior in the workforce.

Opinion How Jared Kushner Flubbed The ‘Ultimate Deal’ — And Hurt Israel
Donald Trump and Jared Kushner do not represent something entirely new in the American government’s approach to Israel and Palestine.

The Schmooze Trevor Noah Scoffs at Strzok’s Shameless GoFundMe Attempt
Nothing gets us like an adulterous rendezvous between two high-powered government officials. It sounds like the kind of cheesy rom-com that would tank at the box-office, but we are nonetheless stupefied and enthralled by Peter Strzok’s lack of stealth and, quite frankly, brain cells.
