The Funding Threat: Trump’s NYC Mayoral Blackmail
The stage was set when Eric Adams abruptly bowed out of the NYC mayoral race. The city’s Democratic machinery tiptoed toward a new favorite: Zohran Mamdani. Then Trump hit “post” on Truth Social, going full lurid: Mamdani “needs the money from me … to fulfill all of his FAKE Communist promises” and, crucially, “won’t be…

Missouri First — Or Missouri Forever? Goodbye Democracy.
In Jefferson City, the Capitol passed a new gospel: Missouri First Map. The state’s governor, flanked by Republican legislators, signed HB 1 in a late-September flourish, after calling a special session, rushing through House and Senate votes, and locking in a mid-decade congressional redistricting that does less to reflect population and more to inscribe power.…

Dominion and Giuliani’s $1.3 Billion Secret Settlement: When Lies Pay and Democracy Gets the Bill
There’s a peculiar magic trick the powerful love: make a noise so loud it draws attention, then vanish the outcome so no one can reverse-engineer the fraud. Yesterday, a mammoth defamation case—one purporting to demand $1.3 billion from a man who spent years amplifying election falsehoods—ended not in a verdict or a sensation, but in…

Comey Indictment: The Court Is Now in Session and the Defendant Is Judicial Independence
Some weeks in Washington feel like episodes of prestige television: you think you’ve reached the cliffhanger, only to discover the writers had two more shocking twists lined up for the same hour. This was one of those weeks. First, the Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey, accusing him of lying to Congress and…

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…

When the Supreme Court Pressed Snooze on $5 Billion: Democracy Aid Goes on Hiatus
On September 26, 2025, in a terse one-sentence emergency order, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to keep nearly $5 billion in congressionally appropriated foreign aid frozen—overturning a lower-court injunction and giving institutional blessing to what amounts to a year-end “pocket rescission” strategy. The effect: delay the money’s disbursement until it expires on…

Disney’s Kimmel Imbroglio: Shareholders Su for Truth While Politics Invade the Boardroom
There are many ways for an entertainment empire to humiliate itself. Some settle for the small stuff: a blockbuster flop, a malfunctioning roller coaster, a streaming password crackdown that feels like a mugging. But every so often, a corporation aims higher—producing an operatic self-own so baroque it deserves its own tragic score. Thus we arrive…

DOJ vs. Soros: The Loyalty Test Disguised as Law
It begins, as these things always do, with a memo. Not a law passed by Congress, not a court case argued in daylight, but a crisp, bureaucratic directive—parchment as performance art. On September 25, 2025, a senior official in Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s office, Aakash Singh, quietly sent word to at least seven U.S.…

Watergate’s Dismal Sequel: Indicting Comey in Broad Daylight
There was a time when “indicting a former FBI Director” would have been the kind of storyline you read in paperback thrillers at the airport newsstand, usually involving shadowy double agents, a safe house in Prague, and a protagonist who knows too much. Now it’s just Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia. A federal grand jury has…

Civility, Insults, and Content Wars: When the Vice President Flips the Script
It has become a perverse form of theater: a live criminal investigation, narrated in real time not by detectives but by hyperpartisan officials competing for the opening line of the news cycle. The vice president demands “civility”—then unleashes profanity. The White House leaps to blame before forensics dust a print. A former Obama speechwriter counters…
