The Coup That Wasn’t: Trump and the Fantasy of FBI Agents in the Crowd
It’s not just revisionism. It’s fiction masquerading as revelation. On a Saturday morning, the former president posted on his social feed that the FBI “secretly placed” 274 agents into the January 6 crowd—agents who, Trump implied, likely acted as “agitators and insurrectionists.” It was his best shot yet at reframing the riot not as mob…

Comey Indictment: The Court Is Now in Session and the Defendant Is Judicial Independence
Some weeks in Washington feel like episodes of prestige television: you think you’ve reached the cliffhanger, only to discover the writers had two more shocking twists lined up for the same hour. This was one of those weeks. First, the Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey, accusing him of lying to Congress and…

Abilene LGBT Threat: When “Lock and Load” Becomes the Pride Parade Invitation
They say a threat is just a first draft of violence. Sometimes scribbled on social media, sometimes delivered with clicks and tags—but the message is the same: you are watched, you are vulnerable. In Abilene, Texas, one man apparently decided to turn that sentence into performance art, threatening LGBTQ+ parade participants only days before the…

Citizenship: Now Just Another Executive Order
Imagine a world where being born on U.S. soil no longer guarantees U.S. citizenship. That world is now on the table, offered in polite legal briefs and grant requests to the Supreme Court. The Trump administration, having signed an executive order restricting birthright citizenship, is now imploring the highest court to rescue it, after lower…

World at War: While Trump Tweets, Armageddon Does Its Thing
They say history doesn’t repeat—but lately, it’s doing sequels. The globe is reawakening to a chaos so thick it’s becoming the new normal: Russia muscling NATO’s borders, fighters popping into sovereign airspaces, Beijing and Moscow cozied up in strategic waltz over Taiwan, Iran’s missile tattooing the skies, and Israel and Gaza locked in their endless…

When the Supreme Court Pressed Snooze on $5 Billion: Democracy Aid Goes on Hiatus
On September 26, 2025, in a terse one-sentence emergency order, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to keep nearly $5 billion in congressionally appropriated foreign aid frozen—overturning a lower-court injunction and giving institutional blessing to what amounts to a year-end “pocket rescission” strategy. The effect: delay the money’s disbursement until it expires on…

Disney’s Kimmel Imbroglio: Shareholders Su for Truth While Politics Invade the Boardroom
There are many ways for an entertainment empire to humiliate itself. Some settle for the small stuff: a blockbuster flop, a malfunctioning roller coaster, a streaming password crackdown that feels like a mugging. But every so often, a corporation aims higher—producing an operatic self-own so baroque it deserves its own tragic score. Thus we arrive…

Government Shutdown or Trump’s Hostage Crisis? Why a Blank Check Is Signing Off on Fascism
Shutdowns are the cheapest trick in Washington’s self-destructive playbook. When the lights dim and federal workers line up for IOUs instead of paychecks, when parks shutter and inspectors vanish, it’s not governance—it’s hostage theater. And here we are again, staring down another government shutdown, a ritual that has grown so common it has its own…

Tariff Tsunami: Trump’s Import Spike Crushes Farms, Homes & Health
It is not hyperbole to say that on one cheerful afternoon in late September, President Trump rolled out a tariff package that feels like a slow-motion economic apocalypse. Effective October 1, the administration slapped a 100 percent tariff on pharmaceutical drugs, 50 percent on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, 30 percent on upholstered furniture, and…

South Park Season 27 Skewers Trump, Satan, Carr & Noem — It’s Political Satire on Steroids
South Park is back. And this season, it’s swinging harder than ever — not content to linger in the margins, the show has waded into naked deepfakes, Satanic pregnancies, face-melting governors, ICE raids that include dogs, CPC principal rebirths, and a nonstop blitz of Trump-era parody across every frame. If you’re keeping score, here’s your…
