2025 Shutdown Chaos Broke the Jobs Report, and Now America Is Driving the Economy With the Dashboard Unplugged
When the government stops working, it also stops counting who is hurting, and calls that “temporary.” The federal shutdown this year did not just lock doors, pause permits, and turn “please hold” into a lifestyle.

Trump and MAGA’s Fake Outrage Over Charlie Kirk Rhetoric Takes Center Stage Amidst Tragic Loss of Rob Reiner
A national treasure, a grieving family, and a president who still thinks empathy is for losers. There are certain moments when a country quietly tests its own spine.

Bondi Beach and the Paperwork After the Sirens
A terror attack, a nation in shock, and the familiar moment when everyone realizes the system worked exactly as designed, which is to say too late. Bondi Beach is supposed to be the place Australia sends to the world as proof of ease. Sun, water, the soft promise that life can be simple if you

2028: Democrats Need A New Deal For A New Era
By 2028 the Democratic Party must stop running as a cautious maintenance crew and instead offer an unapologetic governing vision that begins with abolishing the filibuster to enable majority rule, then moves swiftly into universal government-backed health care, aggressive antitrust enforcement, modern gun safety laws, and a rebalanced tax code that raises rates on billionaires…

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.

Trump Flirts With Weed Rescheduling and Wall Street Immediately Smokes the Hopium
A CNBC headline, a market rally, and an entire industry watching the federal government like it’s a moody landlord who might finally fix the heater. Cannabis stocks and marijuana-focused ETFs just did that thing they always do when Washington coughs in their direction: they levitated. After a CNBC report said President Donald Trump is expected

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 modern American left has a recurring ritual that looks like accountability from far away and feels like sabotage up close. It begins when an accomplished woman steps forward

Kristi Noem Shows Up to Oversight With a Script and Leaves With More Questions
The administration calls it law enforcement, critics call it a rights grinder, and Congress tries to remember it has a job besides yelling. The House Homeland Security Committee hauled DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in for an oversight hearing and the whole thing played out like a courtroom drama performed by people who hate courts. Noem

South Carolina’s Measles Outbreak Proves RFK Jr. and Trump Freedom Includes Airborne Particles
A holiday travel season, a church-centered cluster, and a virus that does not care about your Facebook degree in “doing your own research.” In the Upstate of South Carolina, public health officials are doing the thing we always swear we want government to do, quietly, competently, with clipboards and contact tracing and the slow dread
