Israel and Gaza: Ceasefire With an Asterisk
A “targeted” hit, a disputed death, civilian casualties, and the world’s most brittle truce doing that familiar thing where it pretends it can survive physics. Israel announced it carried out a targeted strike in Gaza City that it says killed Raed Saed (also rendered Raad Saad), described by the Israeli military as a senior Hamas

Karoline Leavitt Turns the Briefing Room Into a Fact-Free Escape Room
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. The old way is as a daily information exchange, flawed but functional, where reporters ask questions and the government, at least in theory, answers

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

Hillary, Kamala, Pelosi, Elizabeth, AOC, Klobuchar, and Jasmine Crockett: Left’s Favorite Sport Is Nitpicking Strong Women
The résumé is flawless, the vibes are “off,” and somehow the safe choice is always some guy who thinks subcommittee work is a type of sandwich.

The Remake is Always Worse: Why the War on Venezuela is Just the Iraq Script with an Orange Trump Filter
We have seen this movie before, and spoiler alert: the ending involves a lot of sand, a lot of blood, and absolutely zero refunds. The American military machine has always had a flair for the cinematic, but the recent seizure of the oil tanker Skipper off the coast of Venezuela felt less like a naval

The Hunt for Red October, But Stupid: How a Lying Tanker Became the Star of the Trump’s New Action Franchise
The scene was practically storyboarded for a campaign ad before the first rotor blade chopped the Caribbean air. It had the granular, high-definition aesthetic of a Michael Bay movie that went straight to streaming, complete with the requisite color grading that makes the ocean look dangerously teal and the American military hardware look like the

The Battle of the Billionaire Kaiju: Netflix and Paramount Fight to See Who Gets to Kill Cinema
The ink wasn’t even dry on the surrender treaty before a new warlord arrived with a bigger bag of cash and a scarier line of credit. Just when we thought the funeral for the Hollywood studio system was over, just when we had resigned ourselves to a future where Warner Bros. was merely a sub-directory

Trump Tries To Buy a Congressman, But the Congressman Is A Better Con Man
The President thought he was purchasing a party switch with a pardon, but he forgot that in Texas, you take the cattle and leave the cowboy holding the rope. There is a specific, grimy elegance to the way Donald Trump approaches the presidency. He does not view it as a constitutional office or a sacred

The Divorce of the Century: Marjorie Taylor Greene Leaves the Cult
When the most loyal soldier in the MAGA army decides to go AWOL, it isn’t a political pivot; it is a primal scream from inside the house. The marriage between Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene was never going to end with a quiet mediation and a shared custody agreement for the base. It was
