Samantha Bee dug into Scott Pruitt's already grimy record as head of the Environmental Protection Agency and called on viewers to challenge his efforts to repeal the Clean Power Act on Full Frontal Wednesday.
The Obama-era regulation aims to cut pollution from existing power plants 32 percent by 2030. Despite the myriad environmental and health benefits of the Clean Power Act, Pruitt defended the repeal by touting the importance of deregulation and "working within the framework of what Congress has passed." As Bee also pointed out, his tenure as Oklahoma Attorney...

Saturday night, I was scouting around trying to find something to watch that interested me. Cable was the same old reruns of old television shows and movies. I wanted something I hadn’t seen before. I wanted a new adventure, so I turned to Netflix. I stumbled upon a film from 1932 that intrigued me; The Animal Kingdom. The cast included Lesley Howard (best known as Ashley Wilkes from Gone With The Wind), Myrna Loy (best known from the Thin Man series) and Ann Harding.
The story revolves around the characters of Tom Collier (Lesley Howard), Daisy Sage (Ann Harding) and Cee Henry (Myrna Loy). Tom is a free thinker and has been living that lifestyle; enjoying art and only publishing books that he actually would want to read. Tom thinks that it is time to become respectable so he announces his engagement, but it is not to longtime girlfriend Daisy but to Cee,...
