“Things Happen”: The Oval Office Rebrands Murder as a Minor Logistical Error
The moral arch of the universe does not bend toward justice. It bends toward the highest bidder, and on November 18, 2025, the gavel finally came down on the sale.

Stream, Scream, or Starve: Why the Warner Bros. Fire Sale Is About to Double Your Bill and Kill Your News
The carcass of Warner Bros. Discovery is currently twitching on the auction block, and the sharks are circling with the dead-eyed precision of algorithms that have already decided your subscription price is too low.

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

404 Unemployment Not Found: The BLS Just Canceled the October Jobs Report and Ghosted the Recession
The Month That Never Was: How the Government Just Deleted Your Job Loss From History The official story of the American economy is no longer a narrative of numbers or a collection of data points.

The Department of Education Is Now a Ghost Ship, and Linda McMahon Is Selling the Copper Wiring
The federal government has always been a bit of a Rube Goldberg machine, but typically the people in charge try to hide the duct tape.

Stop Calling It “The Economy”: It’s Just a Mood Ring for Billionaires
We need to retire the word “economy.” We need to take it out back, behind the woodshed of political discourse, and bury it next to “trickle-down” and “compassionate conservatism.” It has become a linguistic shield, a hollow propaganda term used by CNBC anchors and politicians to gaslight you into believing that your inability to buy

Mike Johnson’s Tears: Mourning the Loss of a Perfectly Good Trumped Up Epstein Cover-Up
The political class has spent months trying to perform an elaborate magic trick: make the entirety of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein disappear. They called the push for public disclosure a “hoax,” then a partisan attack, then a distraction. Yet, the Epstein Files Transparency Act survived their calculated attempts at erasure, sailing through the

The contemporary political narrative often moves at a speed that blurs the lines between fact and fabrication, but rarely does it achieve the dizzying, nauseating velocity of the Trump administration’s internal policy on the “Epstein files.” What began as a solemn promise of transparency quickly dissolved into a spectacular display of gaslighting, denial, and panicked

The Hoax That Ate the House: Why a 427-1 Vote Feels Like Zero Accountability
The spectacle of Washington operating at speed, with overwhelming bipartisan agreement, is generally reserved for declaring war or giving tax breaks to billionaires. But this week, the gears of Congress ground forward with unnerving velocity to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The Map Is Not a Bloodsport, But They Brought a Chainsaw Anyway: A Texas Takedown
The quiet, un-televised cruelty of American political mechanics often hides in plain sight, tucked away in the arcana of cartography and statute. It is, perhaps, fitting that the quietest, most surgical rebuke to Texas Republican political dominance did not come from a grand moral proclamation or a sweeping popular wave. It came instead from a
