Unconfirmed and Unraveling: How Trump’s Revenge Cases Are Collapsing Under Their Own Paperwork
It turns out that when you try to prosecute the rule of law with people who have never been legally seated to uphold it, things tend to fall apart faster than a Truth Social IPO. The Justice Department’s two showcase revenge cases—one against former FBI Director James Comey and the other against New York Attorney

When the Substitute Teacher Runs the School: Obama’s Return and the Democrats’ Echo Problem
There are few sights as surreal as watching a former president outshine his successors while trying not to. Barack Obama, ten years out of office, has become the most effective voice in the Democratic Party again, not because nostalgia sells, but because competence apparently does. His reemergence on the campaign trail for down-ballot Democrats feels

The Case for Kamala Harris: The 107-Day Trial, the Lost Race, and Why 2028 Could Be Her Full Shot
This piece is part of my ongoing series where I make the affirmative case for every potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate—their virtues, their pitfalls, their receipts. Each of them gets the same treatment: no mythmaking, no memes, no mercy. Today’s subject is the one who had the least time but left the deepest mark. Kamala

Trump Broke America in 2015 and She Never Healed: Your Decade in One Grim Timeline.
Grief and fury arrived together, like relatives who cannot stand each other but share a last name. One sits with a box of tissues and tells you to breathe. The other opens a window and says jump or move. I remember the moment the country broke, not as metaphor but as sound, a brittle snap

The Tucker Carlson Extremist Stress Test: How to Burn a Movement in One Interview and Call It Free Speech
If there were ever a competition for “most predictable outrage cycle in American politics,” Tucker Carlson would have the trophy, the lifetime supply of microphones, and a commemorative mug reading I Platformed a Fascist and All I Got Was This Engagement Spike. Because this week, Carlson gave airtime to Nick Fuentes, a man whose résumé

The Golden Throne of Mar-a-Lincoln: When Optics Replace Government
It is a curious image of the modern presidency: the country in a government shutdown, the courts ordering the Department of Agriculture to raid emergency funds to keep SNAP afloat, and the Commander-in-Chief posting 24 glossy photos of his newly renovated Lincoln Bathroom, complete with black and white statuary marble, gold handles on the tub,

Judicial Interference and Other Inconvenient Miracles: How Two Judges Just Fed America While the White House Starved It for Sport
Somewhere between the concept of governance and the art of extortion, the Trump administration decided that feeding 42 million Americans during a shutdown was “optional.” The Department of Agriculture, apparently moonlighting as a nihilist book club, announced it would simply stop issuing SNAP benefits when the clock struck midnight on the first of the month.

Break the Glass, Save the House: A Field Manual for Democrats Who Are Tired of Being the Only Adults in a Burning Room
There is a moment in every family crisis when the responsible sibling realizes that being responsible is not the same thing as being effective. You can tidy while the kitchen burns. You can organize receipts while the roof caves in. You can stand there with your binder of excellent plans and watch a cousin rewire

Andrew is Now Prince of Nothing: How the Crown Did What Congress Won’t
Somewhere in the foggy precincts of Britain’s class system, King Charles III just did something extraordinary: he looked his brother in the face, stared into the abyss of Jeffrey Epstein’s fallout, and said, “Not in my house.” And then, with the unhurried precision of a man pruning a diseased branch, he cut. Prince Andrew, Duke

Mayor of America: The Case for Pete Buttigieg, Competence’s 2028 Stand
Somewhere in the churning, meme-choked fog of modern politics, competence became uncool. Governing got rebranded as “deep state meddling.” And the people who actually know how to do things—like fix a bridge, regulate a train, or refund a plane ticket—got replaced by men who post. So maybe it’s time we talk about Pete Buttigieg. Because
