    Hurricane Erin: America’s Latest Reality Show, Now Streaming Live from the Atlantic

    It’s August 2025, and Hurricane Erin—currently whirling itself into a Category 2 diva act about 200 miles off the North Carolina coast—is serving as yet another reminder that America’s infrastructure is mostly just plywood, wishful thinking, and a governor’s press conference stapled to a sandbag. Erin, once a strapping Category 5 beast, has now “weakened”

    The Diplomatic Ghosting Olympics: Putin, Zelenskyy, and Trump’s Imaginary Seating Chart

    Ah, yes. Another day in the ever-expanding telenovela that is Trump-era diplomacy—though “diplomacy” is generous, given that what we’re watching looks more like a middle school cafeteria where the kid with a lunchable (Putin) refuses to sit with the kid holding an expired free milk ticket (Zelenskyy), and the loud orange hall monitor (Trump) insists

    When Democracy Gets a Make-over: Trump’s Executive Order to Cancel Voting

    At long last, the White House has announced a new wellness initiative: an executive order banning mail‑in and electronic voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. Why? Because our hero (in designer suits) says elections are haunted by “massive fraud”—without evidence, but with extra flourish. He’s calling it the “MAIL‑IN BALLOT HOAX” and wants us back

    Nicolle Wallace, Trump’s New Nemesis: When “MSNBC IS DEAD!” Becomes a Campaign Platform

    It always starts the same way with Donald Trump: a half-formed grunt of a post, a cryptic one-word drop (“Bela”), and then the digital jackals descend. A follower serves up a meme, Trump slaps his digital stamp of approval on it, and suddenly we’re all trapped in the world’s saddest reboot of Mad Men, except

  • Trump, Putin, and the Great Peace That Isn’t

    Trump, Putin, and the Great Peace That Isn’t

    There’s a reason dictators love photo ops. Nothing says “progress” like two men at a podium refusing to answer questions while the world burns just outside the frame. The Aug. 15 Alaska summit was billed as historic. Spoiler: it wasn’t. There was no ceasefire, no agreement, no breakthrough. Just Trump beaming like a middle schooler

  • “Next Time in Moscow” – The Odd Couple Show Hits the Road

    “Next Time in Moscow” – The Odd Couple Show Hits the Road

    The American dream used to be about freedom, democracy, and self-determination. Now it’s about whether two aging strongmen can cosplay geopolitics while the real war grinds on. If there was ever proof that the circus has replaced the Senate, it’s this summit. The world doesn’t need another season of Despot Idol. What it needs is…

  • The American Dream Was Always an HOA Scam

    The American Dream Was Always an HOA Scam

    The American Dream was never a promise; it was a performance. A stage set that looked believable until the lights flickered and the backstage was exposed—cheap plywood, unpaid labor, and a cast list missing half the country. MAGA wants to dim the lights again, to sell the illusion one more time. But illusions don’t pay…

    mRNA, MAHA, and MAGA: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Grand Experiment in Disappointing Everyone at Once

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. didn’t just mishandle a policy rollout—he detonated a week-long political chain reaction that left every camp feeling betrayed. MAGA thinks he’s a fraud. MAHA thinks he’s a sellout. The White House thinks he’s a liability. And in the rarest twist of all, they’re all right.

    When Big Brother Hires a Hall Monitor: FCC’s ‘Bias Monitor’ and the Death of Media Independence

    The beauty—and the danger—of the First Amendment is that it protects the press even when the press is bad at its job. Even when it’s biased, sloppy, arrogant, or out of touch. Especially then. Because the alternative is a press that is only allowed to be “good” according to the standards of the people in…

  • MAGA-fying the Museum: How to Curate History Without the History

    MAGA-fying the Museum: How to Curate History Without the History

    Maybe one day, years from now, there will be an exhibit about this moment. It will feature press releases about “aggressive reviews,” news clippings about political interference, and maybe — if the curators are feeling bold — a case labeled “Democracy, in Decline.” Visitors will walk past it on their way to the dinosaur hall,…
