Goodbye Clearances, Hello Creamed Corn: Gabbard’s Security-Purge Reality Show

Buzzing Back: Oregon’s Sanctuary Sting to the DOJ’s Drone Strike

Peacock, Plucked but Proud: Why I’ll Follow MSNBC Anywhere (Even Into MS NOW)
The news broke: MSNBC is cutting ties with NBC’s Peacock, shedding the feathers, and rebirthing itself as MS NOW. And while some people are clutching pearls over the rebrand, I have one thing to say: take my Peacock, take my vowels, take whatever you want—just don’t take Rachel Maddow’s monologues away from me.

When Democracy Gets a Make-over: Trump’s Executive Order to Cancel Voting
At long last, the White House has announced a new wellness initiative: an executive order banning mail‑in and electronic voting ahead of the 2026 midterms. Why? Because our hero (in designer suits) says elections are haunted by “massive fraud”—without evidence, but with extra flourish. He’s calling it the “MAIL‑IN BALLOT HOAX” and wants us back

Florida’s Book Ban Just Banned Fahrenheit 451—Meet the Literary Irony Police
Censorship never starts with flags and alarms. It begins with scare stories, moral panic, and a public so hungry for control that they let the system eat the books one cover-sized bite at a time.

The Truth About “The Truth About Jussie Smollett?”
The truth about The Truth About Jussie Smollett? is that it will not be the truth. It will be a mirror — reflecting back whatever you brought into it. Netflix will get its views. Smollett will get his platform. And we will get the same thing we’ve had since 2019: a story with two endings,…

In a different era, this would’ve been a throwaway story — a quirky “and finally…” item at the end of the evening news. But in 2025, with an administration hungry for proof of chaos, it’s an entrée. A wrapped sandwich has been elevated to the level of a threat to national order. The bread is…

The beauty—and the danger—of the First Amendment is that it protects the press even when the press is bad at its job. Even when it’s biased, sloppy, arrogant, or out of touch. Especially then. Because the alternative is a press that is only allowed to be “good” according to the standards of the people in…
