    The Only One That Matters: How Trump Turned the Gaza Summit Into a Global Open Mic

    It began the way every Trump summit begins—late, loud, and somehow missing a sense of reality. The Guardian’s report from Sharm el-Sheikh reads like dispatches from an international hostage situation where the hostages are diplomacy, grammar, and basic adult decorum. Picture a beachfront hotel filled with exhausted world leaders, their aides clutching binders, waiting for

    The Young Republicans Just Invented “Accountability Theater,” and the Curtain’s Already Falling

    For decades, the Republican Party has reassured America that its future is in good hands—steady, business-casual hands wrapped around a Bud Light and a copy of Atlas Shrugged. Then came the RESTOREYR WAR ROOM leak, 2,900 pages of digital sewage proving that the future of the GOP is, in fact, a racist group chat with

    The GOP’s Youth Wing Texted Its Soul—and the Screenshots Are a Horror Film

    Once upon a time, “Young Republicans” conjured up an image of overeager poli-sci majors in red ties quoting Reagan and networking over light beer. You know, the overconfident debate-team archetype—annoying, yes, but largely harmless. Fast-forward to 2025, and Politico has dropped a leak that proves the next generation of GOP leadership is less “country club

    Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau: Yacht-Gate 2025

    There’s something serenely apocalyptic in waking up to the news that a former prime minister of Canada is now a tabloid subject aboard a yacht off Santa Barbara. What began as a vintage clickbait headline—“Katy Perry caught on camera kissing a shirtless Justin Trudeau”—has erupted into real tabloids printing fresh, full-color proof: Perry and Trudeau

    When the Cult of Personality Goes Biblical: Trump as the Antichrist (From An Atheist Who Doesn’t Believe in Such Things)

    There’s an old superstition that when the world begins to eat itself, a showman appears to tell it the apocalypse is just a ratings opportunity. Even if you don’t believe in God, hell, or horned beasts rising from the sea, you have to admit that Donald Trump’s recent “peace deal” in the Middle East reads

    Trump’s America Rediscovers Measles and Other 19th-Century Hobbies

    Congratulations, America. We’ve finally done it. We’ve brought back a disease that modern medicine already defeated when bell-bottoms were still a gleam in disco’s eye. Somewhere, Jonas Salk is shaking his head in the afterlife, muttering, “I leave you people alone for sixty years and you start playing Oregon Trail again.” According to NPR, the

    Orwell Meets New Trump Reality: 2 + 2 = Whatever the Algorithm Says

    Somewhere between your tenth doomscroll of the morning and your third attempt to remember which war we’re supposed to care about this week, PBS quietly aired the most important documentary of the decade — Raoul Peck’s Orwell: 2+2=5 — and almost no one noticed, because there wasn’t a trailer trending on TikTok. It’s a film

    The Courts Remind Trump: You Can’t Patrol Someone Else’s Streets

    The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn’t throw a parade for Illinois, but it handed the Trump administration a powerful timeout. On October 11, 2025, the court largely upheld Judge April Perry’s emergency order blocking President Trump from deploying National Guard troops into Chicago and the rest of Illinois—but with a twist. Yes, the

    Outbreak of the RFK Jr. and Russ Vought Virus: No CDC Employees Left To Treat It

    If you ever needed proof that America has officially become a satire written by a malfunctioning chatbot, behold: the CDC accidentally fired itself during a government shutdown. Not metaphorically. Not “downsized for efficiency.” Literally—hundreds of our nation’s top epidemiologists, lab chiefs, and field investigators got layoff emails mid-pandemic prep because someone in Washington pressed “Send

    Letters From the Border, Echoes in Rome: Pope Leo XIV vs. Operation Midway Blitz

    If you want to know how power really moves in 2025, don’t watch the tank convoys rolling down Chicago boulevards or the ICE jackets fanning out across El Paso school zones. Watch instead the moment when a packet of handwritten letters from parish shelters in Texas and New Mexico lands on the Pope’s desk in
