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

Federal Government Shut Down is Trump’s Trojan Horse
It begins at midnight, not with fireworks or ceremony but with lights flickering off in office after office, cubicle after cubicle, across the federal government. The hum of fluorescent tubes dies. The emails bounce back. The phones ring without answer. The federal government, the largest employer in the United States, goes into induced coma—not because

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.

World at War: While Trump Tweets, Armageddon Does Its Thing
They say history doesn’t repeat—but lately, it’s doing sequels. The globe is reawakening to a chaos so thick it’s becoming the new normal: Russia muscling NATO’s borders, fighters popping into sovereign airspaces, Beijing and Moscow cozied up in strategic waltz over Taiwan, Iran’s missile tattooing the skies, and Israel and Gaza locked in their endless

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

The Iowa Superintendent and the Deportation Squad
There’s a certain theater to American immigration enforcement. You can promise the nation you’ll go after gangs, cartels, hardened criminals, people who smuggle fentanyl by the ton. And then, one ordinary morning, you stage your victory lap by cuffing a school superintendent in Des Moines. Yes, a man who manages budgets, buses, and bell schedules

Government Shutdown or Trump’s Hostage Crisis? Why a Blank Check Is Signing Off on Fascism
Shutdowns are the cheapest trick in Washington’s self-destructive playbook. When the lights dim and federal workers line up for IOUs instead of paychecks, when parks shutter and inspectors vanish, it’s not governance—it’s hostage theater. And here we are again, staring down another government shutdown, a ritual that has grown so common it has its own

Tariff Tsunami: Trump’s Import Spike Crushes Farms, Homes & Health
It is not hyperbole to say that on one cheerful afternoon in late September, President Trump rolled out a tariff package that feels like a slow-motion economic apocalypse. Effective October 1, the administration slapped a 100 percent tariff on pharmaceutical drugs, 50 percent on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, 30 percent on upholstered furniture, and

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
