Mary is the resident libertarian. She covers stories in every vertical, but her favorite thing to do is take on the media. She saw its bias against the right when she was a socialist.

Mary loves the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, tennis, cats, Oxford comma, Diet Coke, and needlework.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Roger Stone to 40 months in prison, $20,000 fine, and two years of supervised release. A jury convicted him "on seven charges of obstruction, lying to Congress and witness tampering" last year.

Richard Grenell made history when President Donald Trump appointed him as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany because he was the first openly gay man to serve at such a high level in an administration. Grenell made history again on Wednesday night when Trump picked him as his acting Director of National intelligence. Grenell is the first openly gay person to serve on a president's Cabinet.

As if we needed more evidence of Sen. Elizabeth Warren's lack of self-awareness. After a brutal finish in Iowa and New Hampshire Warren thought it wise to brag about taking half of a college student's last $6. Instead of praise, those on Twitter lashed out at Warren.
