The Great San Francisco Photo Op: Trump Plans His Next ICE Invasion
There are few things more American than a trial balloon floated before breakfast and litigated by lunch. This week’s episode comes courtesy of President Donald Trump, who told reporters he is “considering” sending National Guard troops into San Francisco. The comment, equal parts threat and theater, landed with the kind of bureaucratic thud that rattles

The Pentagon’s New Press Policy: Silence Is Security
There’s a strange kind of quiet settling over Washington, the kind that hums beneath fluorescent lights and seeps into locked hallways. You can almost hear it in the Pentagon now, where the familiar chaos of reporters—phones buzzing, keyboards clacking, voices volleying across corridors—has been replaced by the steady whirr of an air vent. The silence

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION GOES CRUISING: AMERICA’S NEW WAR CRIME REALITY SHOW
Some presidents get monuments. Some get wars. Donald Trump just got a franchise — Operation Sea Control, the world’s first state-sponsored reality series starring the CIA, the Caribbean, and a flotilla of very confused smugglers. The premise: Washington authorizes covert operations in Venezuela, calls it “freedom,” and then releases clips of blown-up boats to prove

The Only One That Matters: How Trump Turned the Gaza Summit Into a Global Open Mic
It began the way every Trump summit begins—late, loud, and somehow missing a sense of reality. The Guardian’s report from Sharm el-Sheikh reads like dispatches from an international hostage situation where the hostages are diplomacy, grammar, and basic adult decorum. Picture a beachfront hotel filled with exhausted world leaders, their aides clutching binders, waiting for

When You Fire the Weatherman, Don’t Act Surprised When the Sky Kills You
America loves a good disaster, as long as it happens far enough away to make for cinematic B-roll. The Bering Sea monster that shredded western Alaska this week—one part typhoon, one part apocalypse—checked all the right boxes: 100-mile-per-hour winds, a record storm surge, homes swallowed whole, hundreds displaced, one confirmed death, and a governor insisting

Statehood for the States That Aren’t: A Hypothetical Love Letter to Democracy’s Participation Trophy
There’s a certain kind of American optimism that only emerges when we start talking about statehood, the same bright-eyed, civics-class sparkle that insists representation is a moral right and not a political chess move. But let’s be honest—if every U.S. territory and D.C. were granted statehood tomorrow, the fireworks wouldn’t be about democracy fulfilled. They’d

San Francisco: Elon Musk Says Send in the Troops, but Make It Disruptive
In a city famous for kombucha, kale, and kombucha-flavored kale, it was only a matter of time before San Francisco’s billionaires decided the next great innovation would be fascism—but with better UX. On October 12, 2025, the San Francisco Chronicle reported the unthinkable: Elon Musk and Marc Benioff, two of the Bay Area’s most inflated

Sugar High or Crash Diet? How Sorkin Says AI Is Fueling America’s Next Reboot: 1929 Stock Market Crash
You knew it would happen: someone on 60 Minutes lifting it all up, peering into the neon smog of 2025, and muttering, “I think it’s a bubble.” That someone was Andrew Ross Sorkin. As markets wobble after tariff threats, Sorkin told Lesley Stahl that today’s economy is being propped up by an AI sugar rush—hundreds

Orwell Meets New Trump Reality: 2 + 2 = Whatever the Algorithm Says
Somewhere between your tenth doomscroll of the morning and your third attempt to remember which war we’re supposed to care about this week, PBS quietly aired the most important documentary of the decade — Raoul Peck’s Orwell: 2+2=5 — and almost no one noticed, because there wasn’t a trailer trending on TikTok. It’s a film

The AI Bubble Is Eating the Economy Alive (and Still Asking for Dessert)
There’s a fine line between innovation and collective delusion, and we are currently sprinting across it in a pair of $2,000 AI-branded sneakers financed at 22 percent APR. Fortune’s latest interview with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management CIO Lisa Shalett reads less like financial analysis and more like a desperate intervention at an industry support group.
