Shutdown: The First Hairline Fracture in the Blue Wall
For three weeks, Chuck Schumer has performed the Senate equivalent of yoga on hot coals—keeping forty-nine Democrats in the lotus position while the government burns around them. It worked, until it didn’t. Axios dropped the news like a leaky ceiling tile: Georgia senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock quietly crossed the aisle on a Republican

The People’s House, Privately Bulldozed: How the East Wing Vanished While We Were Looking Away
Let’s start with the blunt fact: the East Wing of the White House—the entire public-facing half of the executive mansion—no longer exists. It’s gone. Not “under renovation,” not “under review,” but demolished. The Office of the First Lady, the Social Office, the Calligraphy Office, the Visitor Entrance, the East Colonnade, the Family Theater—flattened to rebar

Third Term? Nice Try. But After January 6th, Pretending He Won’t Try Is the Real Fantasy
A twice-elected president doesn’t get a do-over—but anyone who watched the fake elector schemes, the pressure on state officials, and the January 6th gambit knows attempts can be real; the likeliest 2028 plays are pressure campaigns, calendar games, and emergency pretexts that slam into law, courts, and a public done being played—no matter how grand

The People’s Propaganda: Beijing Declares America Dead While Measuring Its Own Pulse
China has officially diagnosed the United States with “terminal democracy.” According to Chinese state media, America is “dying from within,” “a failed state,” and—if you believe the new string of editorials—just a few supply-chain snags away from the global hospice ward. The declaration arrived perfectly timed with the Chinese Communist Party’s closed-door Fourth Plenum, where

Trump’s The Apprentice: Kremlin Edition
It took three years, two wars, and one canceled summit for America’s Strongman-in-Chief to finally pretend to stand up to his idol—and even now, it looks more like performance art than policy. The White House has slapped sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, Russia’s two biggest oil arteries and the bankroll of Vladimir Putin’s imperial cosplay.

The Red Scare Remix: Why “Democratic Socialism” Is Not Communism, and Capitalism Was Never Pure
There’s a certain irony in the fact that Americans can’t define “socialism” but they can sure yell it. It’s our national reflex: hear a policy that sounds vaguely public-minded, grab the nearest flag, and shout “Communism!” as if Khrushchev himself were hiding under your Medicare card. So let’s do something rare for this political century—define

Mar-a-Washington: How Trump’s Epstein Ballroom Became the White House Tear-Down
There’s a deeply surreal moment when the president of the United States signals that the people’s house is also his personal club—then backs it up by tearing it open with excavators before answering the paperwork. That moment is now, courtesy of the reported teardown of the East Wing of the White House to build a new

Watchdog? More Like Watchdogged: The Tanking of Trump’s “Nazi-Streak” Nominee
You’d think after a year of government face-plants, someone in Trump’s orbit might nominate a watchdog who didn’t actively bite democracy. Instead, the White House delivered Paul Ingrassia—a 30-year-old law school graduate with the résumé depth of a TikTok bio—to run the Office of Special Counsel, the federal agency designed to protect whistleblowers and keep

Grift Nation: Inside the Cash Streams of a $0 Paycheck Trump Presidency
He brags he doesn’t take a salary, then turns the presidency into a cashback card with no limit—platform settlements, sovereign “gifts,” crypto windfalls, donor dinners, family funds, and hotel invoices humming like slot machines—daring the country to mistake a press release for ethics. He wants the zero to glow like a halo. He holds it

The Commander in Brief: How Trump v. Illinois Might Create A Trump Army
It’s a strange moment in the American experiment when the question before the Supreme Court is whether the President can send troops to Chicago because someone held up a sign too close to an ICE office. But here we are: Trump v. Illinois, a case that could turn the National Guard into the president’s personal
