    Citizenship: Now Just Another Executive Order

    Imagine a world where being born on U.S. soil no longer guarantees U.S. citizenship. That world is now on the table, offered in polite legal briefs and grant requests to the Supreme Court. The Trump administration, having signed an executive order restricting birthright citizenship, is now imploring the highest court to rescue it, after lower…

    World at War: While Trump Tweets, Armageddon Does Its Thing

    They say history doesn’t repeat—but lately, it’s doing sequels.

Some settle for the small stuff: a blockbuster flop, a malfunctioning roller coaster, a streaming password crackdown that feels like a mugging.

    Government Shutdown or Trump’s Hostage Crisis? Why a Blank Check Is Signing Off on Fascism

When the lights dim and federal workers line up for IOUs instead of paychecks, when parks shutter and inspectors vanish, it’s not governance—it’s hostage theater. And here we are again, staring down another government shutdown, a ritual that has grown so common it has its own…
