Welcome to Senate Doomscrolling: Why 2026 Is a Democratic Nightmare and 2028 Is the Sequel No One Survives
In American politics, hope springs eternal, but the Senate map springs something closer to gastrointestinal distress. Democrats already understand the 2026 landscape is bleak. What they have not fully absorbed is that 2028 is worse, the kind of worse that makes you stare into the middle distance like a Victorian widow holding a folded flag.

The Trillion Dollar Man: Elon Musk and the Daily Allowance That Could Buy Civilization
Wealth inequality, vibes-based governance, and the shareholders who just voted themselves into a philosophy seminar I want you to picture something very simple. Something wholesome. Something that warms the heart. Imagine a grown man waking up every morning and receiving roughly two hundred seventy four million dollars as a daily allowance. Not annual. Not quarterly.

November 7th: This Day In Herstory, This Decade in Fury
There is a habit in American storytelling that treats progress like a moving walkway in an airport. Step on, move forward, arrive at the gate of equality with time for a coffee. The trouble is that our walkway is seasonal. It runs when people push the button and it stalls when cowards pull the plug.

The Morning After the Wave: Trump’s Truth Social Tantrum and the Art of Governing by Gripe
There is a sound that follows defeat, and it is not silence. It is the clattering of a smartphone in the small hours, the electronic cough of a man refreshing his own reflection.

Democrats Tuesday Night Lesson: The Cure For Whisper Politics
If Democrats want to govern, they have to stop apologizing for oxygen, pick fights they can win in public, scrap the procedural choke points on purpose, and brag until the story sticks. There is a certain sound to a party that does not trust itself. It is crisp, consultative, and terrified of verbs. You can

The Blue Wave Broke: Prepare For Trump To Become More Unhinged
Some nights don’t end; they just change temperature. Tonight is one of those nights. Across America, the political map bled blue again. It wasn’t subtle, and it wasn’t polite. The “Blue Wave” that pundits dismissed as myth or meme arrived in full coastal fury. Suburban districts turned into crime scenes for Republican incumbents. Ballot initiatives

Hunger as Leverage: The White House’s Calculated Pause of SNAP During the Shutdown
Turning food aid into a bargaining chip, and calling it fiscal responsibility Here is the grotesque irony of the 2025 federal shutdown: the largest food-aid program in the United States, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), serving roughly forty-two million Americans, was treated not as a lifeline but as a cudgel. When the walls came

Competence Wins a News Cycle: The Week Democrats Made Normal Look Radically Blue
For once, America looked up from its collective doom scroll and saw something profoundly un-American by recent standards: functioning democracy. No coups, no indictments, no men in designer flak jackets shouting about tyranny from podcast studios. Just elections that ran, counted, and ended with results that made sense. Zohran Mamdani became New York City’s first

The Epstein Ballroom: How Trump Bulldozed the People’s House for His Corporate Coronation
There are many ways to announce the end of an era. Some presidents sign bills, others write memoirs. Donald Trump brought in the bulldozers. Last month, under the glare of work lights and the applause of donors, the East Wing of the White House collapsed into dust, making way for what the administration calls the

Hunger as Policy: The Cruel Arithmetic of Trump’s SNAP Shutdown
It is an extraordinary thing to watch a government starve its own people on purpose. Not by accident, not by miscalculation, but by decision. That is what the Trump administration’s “SNAP half-payment plan” has become: the state using hunger as leverage, a quiet weapon dressed up in bureaucratic language. Officials call it “necessity.” Economists call
