    The Cult of the Supporter and Why I Don’t Give a Damn About Trump

    Let me say it again for the people in the cheap seats: I don’t give a damn about Donald Trump. Not a single molecule of my being is interested in his daily diet of McNuggets, the awkward orange glow of his tanning bed addiction, or the bizarre way he insists on pronouncing “China” like he’s

    We Are All D.C. (Except the People Running It)

    The nation’s capital looked less like the seat of democracy and more like the set of a dystopian reboot of COPS.

    Jimmy Kimmel vs. The Delicate, Chubby Little Teacup

    On September 2, 2025, Jimmy Kimmel returned from a two-month vacation and delivered a monologue so sharp you could butter your toast with it. He didn’t just dip into politics. He torched the President of the United States with the glee of a man who’d been storing up insults in a Notes app all summer.

    The 33,295-Page Transparency Illusion: Congress Dumps Paper, Not Truth, on the Epstein Files

    Transparency, we are told, is democracy’s disinfectant. Shine light on the secrets, cleanse the rot, and let citizens bask in the glow of accountability. On September 2, 2025, Chairman James Comer’s GOP-led House Oversight Committee took that adage and set it on fire, dumping 33,295 pages of Jeffrey Epstein–related records into the public sphere. Thirty-three

    Texas Passes 835 New Laws in One Night The Midnight Mass of Statecraft

    Texas loves a spectacle. Rodeos, Friday night lights, the eternal battle between Whataburger and In-N-Out. But nothing captures the state’s flair for drama like September 1, 2025, when 835 new laws took effect at the stroke of midnight. Not one or two. Not even a tidy fifty. Eight hundred and thirty-five. If democracy is usually

    Workers Over Billionaires: Labor Day as America’s Awkward Family Reunion

    On September 1, 2025—Labor Day— America finally remembered what the holiday was supposed to be about: not barbecue sales at Home Depot, not posting an “end of summer” bikini pic, but actual workers demanding rights. Thousands marched in hundreds to 1,000+ “Workers Over Billionaires” rallies nationwide. The very phrase carried its own absurd poetry. Workers.
