On "Real Time with Bill Maher," the host and guests discussed the complexities of the LGBTQ community and the Nashville school shooting.

The media's presentation of the Orlando victims is criticized for its "over-dramatized" production, including the use of somber music and James Earl Jones's voiceover on CNN.

Devaney is also promoting a "Citizen IG" initiative to encourage Americans to investigate federal spending irregularities.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews is featured in a clip ranting about a provision in the healthcare bill authored by Representative Earl Blumenauer.
