No Good Deed and the Critics: Why ‘Wicked’ Is the Tragedy We Deserve
The lights went down in the theater, and for a brief moment, the collective anxiety of the world—the elections, the economy, the general sense that we are living in the final season of a poorly written reality show—suspended itself in the dark. I sat there with Matthew, my fiance and designated emotional anchor, and our

The Art of the Deal (With a Socialist): Why Donald Trump Just Adopted a “Communist Lunatic” on Live TV
The simulation didn’t just glitch on November 21, 2025; it blue-screened, rebooted, and loaded a corrupted file from a different timeline. In the Oval Office, beneath the stern, oil-painted gaze of George Washington, the President of the United States sat next to the Mayor-elect of New York City. On paper, this should have been a

The Red Scare on Pennsylvania Avenue: Why Trump Thinks Fixing the Subway Is a Bolshevik Plot
The intellectual architecture of the modern American right wing is built on a foundation of very specific, load-bearing misunderstandings, but none is quite as structural as their inability to distinguish between a democratic socialist and a Soviet commissar.

The Art of the Self-Own: How the Redistricting “Arms Race” Became a National Slapstick Routine
There is a specific, distinct sound that ambition makes when it snaps under the weight of its own greed, and on November 18, 2025, that sound echoed all the way from a federal courtroom in El Paso to the panic rooms of the Governor’s Mansion in Austin, before ricocheting westward to slap the smugness right

Trump and Putin’s The Art of the Steal: How a Condo Developer and a Kremlin Banker Just “Solved” Ukraine
The modern history of diplomacy is usually written in treaties, summits, and carefully worded communiqués. But the history of the Trump administration is written in term sheets. On November 19, 2025, the world learned exactly what happens when you outsource geopolitics to a real estate developer and a sovereign wealth fund manager. The Guardian revealed

Nancy Mace and the Charleston Airport Meltdown: A One-Woman Soap Opera the Constitution Was Never Built to Withstand
The congresswoman who once wore a Scarlet Letter to protest being insufficiently seen has now discovered an even more reliable path to attention, and it involves screaming at airport cops about her BMW. There are weeks in American politics that unfold like chapters in a serious novel, quietly advancing structural themes and inching toward institutional

Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Redemption Trap and the Rage Machine
So here is the question that refuses to be polite. Does everyone deserve a redemption arc. The storybook says yes. The sermon says forgiveness is a commandment. The friend you confided in after the worst year of your life says it depends. The criminal code says it is complicated. The internet says never. And the…

From Gaza Clips to Nazi TikTok: How the Algorithm Funnels Kids to White Nationalism
When Tucker Carlson sits down for a warm, fireside-vibe chat with Nick Fuentes and the discourse acts shocked, maybe the real scandal is how quickly the algorithm now ushers young people from “criticizing a government” to “maybe Jews don’t belong in America.” Tucker Carlson has always been something of a political weather vane, albeit the

Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene Find Out That MAGA is Turning Out To Be Frankenstein’s Monster
Marjorie Taylor Greene built the flamethrower, aimed it for years, and is now stunned to discover it works in every direction. There is a particular sound that occurs when a political movement devours one of its own. It is not dramatic. It is not operatic. It is not even loud. It is a soft, wet
