Two days after making false statements about the attendance and audience for President Donald Trump’s inauguration, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer vowed to always “be honest with the American people” — but added that “sometimes we can disagree with the facts.”
Asked in his first official press briefing on Monday if it was his “intention to always tell the truth from that podium,” Spicer told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, “It is. It’s an honor to do this and yes, I believe that we have to be honest with the American people.”
But, Spicer added, “I think sometimes we can disagree with the facts.

Donald Trump addressed the sharply divided nation for the first time as president on Friday after taking the oath of office on the U.S. Capitol steps.
President Trump’s speech focused on returning the “power” to the American people.
“Washington flourished but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself but not the citizens of our country,” he said. “And while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.”
“That all changes starting right here and right now,...

When Donald Trump takes the oath of office in just a few short days, he will do so as the least popular president in at least 40 years, a new Washington Post-abc News poll says.
According to the national poll, just 40 percent of Americans say they have a favorable impression of the president-elect. That’s 21 points lower than President Barack Obama’s departing favorability rating of 61 percent and easily the lowest popularity for an incoming president since 1977, ABC News reports. Trump trails behind former Presidents Obama (79 percent), Bill Clinton (68 percent), George H.W. Bush (65 percent), Ronald Reagan (58 percent) and Jimmy Carter (78 percent...

Question: What does 1977 mean to you?
1977 seemed to be steeped in so much disillusionment. I think that, like the years that signal the end of a decade but don't quite bookend it, it was...fraught. The year was packed with events that pointed to change and fueled uncertainty. It was the year the U.S. signed the nuclear-proliferation pact and the same year that the U.S. government voted against covering elective abortions through Medicaid. The Apple II computer hit the market and Jimmy Carter...

A review of tonight's "Fargo" coming up just as soon as I find out if Joan Crawford had crabs... "Do you really think we'll get out of this mess we're in?" -Lou After being alluded to throughout the season's first four episodes, Ronald Reagan finally appears in the fleshy form of Bruce Campbell (who's having himself quite the fall, between this and "Ash vs. Evil Dead"). Reagan — even more than most American presidents of the TV age, given his acting background — is difficult to portray as anything but a caricature, but Campbell is able to get across the essence of the man whom many Americans believed could finally pull the country out of the morass it was in from Vietnam, Watergate, gas lines, and Jimmy Carter's comments about our national malaise. When he busts out his "shining city on a hill" rhetoric (which the real Reagan famously used in...
