Pam Bondi’s Great Stonewall Revue: How to Say Nothing for Hours While Redecorating the Constitution
On October 7, 2025, Attorney General Pam Bondi finally got her Senate Judiciary oversight debut. The cameras rolled. The senators fanned themselves like gossipy dowagers. Bondi smiled that Florida-gated-community smile—the one that says I have seen the HOA bylaws and I intend to enforce them with prejudice. For hours, she spoke in what can only

Charlie Sheen and the Eternal Circus of American Redemption
We are a nation addicted to watching houses burn down and then clapping when the insurance check arrives. That, in essence, is the plotline of Charlie Sheen’s life, which is now getting the full treatment—documentary, book, the kind of cultural reappraisal usually reserved for wars or Woodstock. Why Charlie Sheen? Because he’s perfect for us.

The Supreme Court’s New Term: Now Playing, the Trump Cinematic Universe of Unlimited Power
On October 6, 2025, the United States Supreme Court flung open its majestic marble doors to launch the 2025–26 term, and the BBC wasted no time pointing out what the docket really is: a season pass to the Trump Expanded Universe, where executive power is both the script and the punchline. Forget your garden-variety disputes

Republicans Know How to Win, Democrats Know How to Lose, Let’s Steal the Playbook and Keep Our Souls
If American politics were a sport, Republicans would be the team that shows up in matching uniforms, drills the exact same play for three seasons, and then executes it with a discipline usually reserved for marching bands and cults. Democrats, by contrast, would be the club team made up of brilliant but argumentative grad students

Operation Midway Blitz: Chicago as Stage Set for a Border War
The federal government has never met a metaphor it did not try to literalize. If “war on drugs” produced tanks in Los Angeles neighborhoods, and “war on terror” created airports that feel like holding cells, then it should surprise no one that “immigration enforcement” has been rebranded as a campaign named after a Pacific naval

Bad Bunny’s SNL Comeback and the 51st Season’s Cultural Cruising Missile
The moment Saturday Night Live returned for Season 51, it felt like an updated version of a political reset button. A bilingual monologue, a defense of art in a politically fracturing country, and a cold open so sharp it felt like glass in the face. Against the backdrop of shutdown fights, Pentagon sermons, and presidential

When A Flag Becomes a Leash: Greta Thunberg Allegedly Abused In Israeli Custody
On October 1, 2025, a flotilla bound for Gaza sailed into what Israel calls “safe enforcement space,” and was met not with olive branches but steel wires, naval power, and fists on deck. More than 450 activists—sailing from over 40 countries—were hauled off armed ships in international waters, their humanitarian mission interrupted, their bodies exposed,

Hollywood Reboots Its Own Resistance: Jane Fonda’s Anti Fascism Committee for the First Amendment Returns
The ghosts of the blacklist just got company. On October 1, 2025, Jane Fonda—the 87-year-old icon, activist, and daughter of Henry Fonda—took the stage again not to accept awards, but to launch a new front in a culture war over dissent. She resurrected the Committee for the First Amendment, originally conceived in 1947 to fight

Being Good at Goodbye
The hardest skill I ever learned was not empathy or leadership or writing a book. It was goodbye. Goodbye is the only thing I’ve been allowed to master. It’s the only certificate hanging on the wall. Some people collect diplomas; I collect exits. I don’t mean the cinematic goodbye—the one where a person drives off
