Trump’s MAGA: From “Save the Children” to “Hoax, Move On”
When receipts finally pointed inward, the outrage machine swapped sirens for excuses. There is a particular silence that follows a scream. It is not peace. It is calculation. For years, MAGA’s media ecosystem trained its audience to chase phantoms through pizzerias and Instagram posts, to read secret codes on menus, to believe that a ring

CATHOLIC GUILT FOR TRUMP: THE HOLY WATER JUST BOILED OVER
The bishops finally found their voices again. Not the soft indoor-voice homilies that float above parish pews like incense, but something closer to a raised eyebrow from God. America’s Catholic hierarchy, after years of sounding like they were trapped between a Fox News chyron and a Vatican footnote, just dropped a “Special Message” on immigration

Inside The Trump-Epstein Emails And A Capitol Pressure Campaign
Stop arguing about vibes and name what is on paper, on tape, and on the bank ledger. There is a rule of political weather that never fails. When a storm breaks over power, the first response is fog. Statements get longer, memories get shorter, and a chorus of very serious people insists that nothing can

Where Did the Money Go, Don? The Great Trump Tariff Refund Panic
It’s hard to take a “billionaire” seriously when he keeps losing count of his billions. But here we are again, watching Donald Trump tell the country that if the Supreme Court rules against his tariffs, America will owe “three trillion dollars.” Three trillion. By breakfast, that number will probably be six. By dinner, he’ll say

Islam Isn’t Violent: State Sponsored Religion Is Violent
THE GOSPEL OF SELECTIVE OUTRAGE AND OTHER HOLY TRADITIONS WE PRETEND NOT TO NOTICE Religious superiority is the type of moral panic that spreads through America like pollen in spring, coating every surface, irritating every conversation, and triggering sneezes of self righteousness that echo for miles. The current strain is Islamophobia, a recycled political contagion

Greg Abbott Files for Reelection, Texas Should File for a Restraining Order
Greg Abbott has announced, with the confidence of a man who has never once been held accountable for the weather, the grid, the cruelty, or the highway-level carnage of his own governance, that he will run for governor of Texas again. Texans did not ask for this. Texans did not pray for this. Texans did

The Great Trump MAGA Cleanse: When a President Uses the Pardon Power Like a Leaf Blower in a Crime Scene
The news broke like a dropped stack of subpoenas. President Donald Trump issued sweeping federal pardons to Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn, and dozens of false electors whose signatures still appear on documents that prosecutors occasionally hold up with tongs. Pardon attorney Ed Martin delivered the announcement with the weary

The Country Wanted a Trump Test of Chaos, So Let Them Have the Full Factory Tour
If the country insists on touching the stovetop again just to “make sure it’s still hot,” who am I to stand between a democracy and its favorite form of self-harm. There are moments in public life when you stop trying to warn people about the cliff and instead hand them binoculars so they can appreciate

The Morning After the Wave: Trump’s Truth Social Tantrum and the Art of Governing by Gripe
There is a sound that follows defeat, and it is not silence. It is the clattering of a smartphone in the small hours, the electronic cough of a man refreshing his own reflection. The morning after Democrats’ big wins, while New York was still sweeping up confetti and poll workers were still drinking reheated coffee,

Democrats Don’t Need Better Candidates They Need To Give Them The Mic And Get Out Of The Way
There is a certain kind of strategy meeting that feels like a hostage situation with snacks. A windowless conference room, a lonely fern, a PowerPoint with too many gradient arrows, and ten people who confuse caution with wisdom. Someone says the word “authentic” while polishing a sentence that has never met a human mouth. Someone
