Transitioning ThinkProgress
Many years ago, we embarked on a new experiment: moving ThinkProgress from an organizational blog to a progressive news site, powered by reporters and editorially independent.

GOP candidate has a pretty hypocritical excuse for why he’s down in the polls

Trump describes Boris Johnson as someone who ‘knows how to win’ after historic Parliament defeats
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson can’t stop losing.

Trump’s Fox & Friends pals finally concede Mexico ain’t paying for that wall
President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign was centered on one grand campaign promise: he would build a massive wall along the entire southern border of the nation, and its construction would be completely paid for by Mexico.

President Donald Trump’s latest attack on working families will hit especially hard in the states that voted for him: More than half of the people who are set to lose access to food stamps under regulations proposed this summer live in states that went for Trump in 2016. One in every twelve people who receives […]

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar UK, actor Kristen Stewart, who has been romantically linked to model Stella Maxwell since 2017, said, “I have fully been told, ‘If you just like do yourself a favor, and don’t go out holding your girlfriend’s hand in public, you might get a Marvel movie.’ I don’t want to work with people […]
Boris Johnson’s Brexit plans have been derailed, thanks to members of his own party
Before Tuesday, it was unlikely that too many people outside his constituency of Bracknell in Berkshire, England, would have heard of Member of Parliament (MP) Phillip Lee.
