MTV Finally Turned Off the Music, and Let the Epitaph Roll
The channel that taught America how to watch sound signed off with a joke that stopped being funny decades ago.

Epstein Files Transparency Act Meets DOJ’s Blackout Marker, and Congress Discovers the “Oops, All Redactions” Loophole
A statutory deadline, a disappearing website, and the federal government’s newest genre: partial compliance theatre.

The press asks for information, the podium offers vibes, and the real product is confusion with a patriotic label. There are two ways to look at a White House press briefing.

Congress Drops Epstein Party Photos Like It’s a Playlist and Calls It Oversight
A small, redacted photo dump, a much larger unseen archive, and a political system that treats transparency like a weapon and privacy like an afterthought. House Democrats on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee just did what Congress does best in an election-era adrenaline rush: released a limited batch of images from a vastly larger

South Carolina’s Measles Outbreak Proves RFK Jr. and Trump Freedom Includes Airborne Particles
A holiday travel season, a church-centered cluster, and a virus that does not care about your Facebook degree in “doing your own research.” In the Upstate of South Carolina, public health officials are doing the thing we always swear we want government to do, quietly, competently, with clipboards and contact tracing and the slow dread
