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

Disarm or Disaster? The Gaza Ceasefire’s Tightrope Act
Welcome to “Peace as Spectacle, Round Two.” The ceasefire’s first act produced something concrete: all 20 living Israeli hostages were handed over, hundreds of Palestinian detainees released, IDF pullbacks commenced, and aid convoys began crossing. But now the sequel begins, with disclaimers: Netanyahu insists that Hamas must “give up its arms or all hell breaks

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

No Kings Day: America’s Most Patriotic Middle Finger
The founders would have loved this. Not the powdered wig cosplay or the “Don’t Tread on Me” truck decals that confuse tyranny with speed limits—but the idea that millions of Americans could, in 2025, look at a would-be monarch and collectively say: nope. This October 18, No Kings Day returns. And if June was the

The Land Of The Free-Fire Zone: AMERICA’S NEW FEDERAL STREET THEATER
If the original American dream was that you could own a home, plant a tree, and not get gassed by your own government on a weeknight, that fantasy met its final act this month in the East Side of Chicago. A red SUV, a white SUV, a handful of agents playing Fast & Furious: Sanctuary

The Pentagon Has Entered Its “No Reporters, Please” Era
The building that invented acronyms, leaks, and irony has decided it’s allergic to all three. According to CNN’s media desk, the Pentagon under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has rolled out sweeping new restrictions that would make even the Kremlin’s press office blush. The new “access pledge” requires journalists to sign away their ability to do

Statehood for the States That Aren’t: A Hypothetical Love Letter to Democracy’s Participation Trophy
There’s a certain kind of American optimism that only emerges when we start talking about statehood, the same bright-eyed, civics-class sparkle that insists representation is a moral right and not a political chess move. But let’s be honest—if every U.S. territory and D.C. were granted statehood tomorrow, the fireworks wouldn’t be about democracy fulfilled. They’d

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

The Death of Facts: How Ring Wing America Replaced Reality with Programming
There was a time, not all that long ago, when America had one reality. It wasn’t perfect, but at least it was shared. We all tuned in to Walter Cronkite or Peter Jennings or Dan Rather. The evening news would come on, everyone would collectively lower their voices, and for thirty blessed minutes the country

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
