America’s New Hunger Games Begins, and the Prize Is Permission To Eat
Trump calls it “One Big Beautiful Bill,” but the only thing getting beautified is the balance sheet Congress cares about more than hungry families.

There comes a time in every long running series when the writers lose all sense of proportion. When the storylines pile up like abandoned shopping carts, when characters behave like they have been

America Says It Wants A Woman President, Michelle Obama Says: Stop Lying
When the country insists it is ready for female leadership but recoils every time an actual woman steps up, someone eventually has to say the quiet part out loud.
