In January 2017, Howley left Breitbart to start the far-right website Big League Politics. He has been criticized for his style of journalism and satire.
In 2019, Howley broke the story of a blackface and KKK costume photograph in Virginia governor Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook after receiving a tip from a "concerned citizen." Howley's website also broke the news of sexual assault allegations against Virginia lieutenant governor Justin Fairfax, which it posted without doing any fact-checking.
