  • A Presidency Mistaken for Power

      Donald Trump believes history bends to will. It does not. It bends to competence, restraint, and perception, none of which were present. There is something quietly pitiful about Donald Trump insisting that only death could stop him. It is the statement of a man who has mistaken noise for authority and longevity for inevitability.

  • ICE Is Not Law Enforcement.

    It’s a Political Weapon With a Badge.     There is something almost darkly comic about officials insisting there is “nothing wrong” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement as its operations continue to leave bodies, lawsuits, and shattered communities in their wake.     The joke, of course, is not funny to the people on the

  • This Is What Moral Collapse Looks Like

      Let’s dispense with the cowardly qualifiers. Not that I blame him, I actually stand up for JD Vance who told a white Christian nationalist who insulted JD’s wife to “Eat Shit.” I don’t dislike that statement at all. But then again I stand for all women and…any man that defends them. Then again this

  • We Traded Action for Algorithms and Pretended It Was Resistance

    The documentary Breakdown (1975) is not nostalgic comfort viewing. It is a rebuke.

For days, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert wrapped themselves in the language of “transparency,” pounding podiums and timelines with righteous fury. Release the Epstein files, they demanded.

  • WHEN YOUR ADMINISTRATION CAN’T SPELL “CLIMATE,” IT SHUTS DOWN THE SCIENCE

    Donald Trump’s administration didn’t gut NREL because it was ineffective. They went after it because it was effective. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory had the audacity to do something unforgivable in MAGA America, it measured reality. It produced data. It showed where the future was headed.

      When Donald Trump announces that he will address the nation, it is no longer a signal of leadership. It is a warning flare. These appearances arrive not when clarity is needed, but when scrutiny becomes unavoidable. Right now, scrutiny is everywhere. While Americans face stubborn inflation, unaffordable housing, and eroding financial security, Trump’s White

  • Trump Administration Salutes With One Hand and Deports With the Other

    How Fox News and Donald Trump & Kristi Noem, Betray Veterans While Wrapping Themselves in the Flag There is a lie so deeply embedded in conservative media that it no longer needs defending. It is simply assumed. Repeated. Protected by silence. “We do not deport military veterans.” That lie was spoken calmly, confidently, as if

    Americans Are Joking About Working for the Cartel Because Washington, Trump, and the War on Drugs Made a Joke of the Country   America is losing a vibes war to the cartel. Not a shooting war. Not a border war. A vibes war. And TikTok comment sections are the battleground. Videos joking that the cartel
