Trump Justice Department’s Loyalty Program: Prosecuting Critics for Points
There’s something almost admirable about the efficiency of it all. America’s justice system, once the weary guardian of impartial law, now runs like a Vegas rewards app for political vendettas. Axios’ reporting on the “enemies to defendants” scoreboard inside Trump’s Justice Department reads like dystopian fan fiction written by a disbarred screenwriter who found QAnon

The Moral Collapse of MAGA: How Hitler Memes Became Conservative Icebreakers
There’s a certain nausea in watching a nation re-enact its own moral autopsy and call it performance art. You scroll through Politico’s leak of the “Young Republicans” group chat, where grown men with government titles type “I love Hitler” like it’s an inside joke at a frat mixer, and then you flip to The Atlantic’s

The Church of Selective Justice: Saint George of Santos and the Gospel of Trumpian Mercy
There are miracles, and then there are Trump-era miracles — the kind that make you question if God outsourced justice to a reality show producer. George Santos, the man who lied about everything from his résumé to his existence as a mammal capable of shame, just walked out of federal prison after less than three

Prince Andrew’s Title Tantrum: When the Crown Smells Smoke From the Epstein Files
There’s something about the smell of royal scandal that hits differently—less like smoke and more like an expensive candle trying to cover up the scent of a body decomposing under the palace floorboards. The official word from Buckingham Palace this week is that Prince Andrew, formerly the Duke of York, is voluntarily “stepping back” from

We Fought a War to Get Rid of Kings—Then MAGA Crowned One #NoKings
There’s something almost poetic about America’s amnesia. We were born from rebellion, baptized in the fires of anti-monarchy, raised on pamphlets that screamed no man is above the law. We once dumped tea in harbors and bled on battlefields to escape the tyranny of kings. And now, two and a half centuries later, millions of

Admiral Overboard: How to Lose a War Before It Starts When You Bomb People Illegally
Admiral Alvin Holsey’s early retirement announcement landed with the subtlety of a depth charge. The commander of U.S. Southern Command—one of the most experienced and respected flag officers in the Navy—is stepping down two years early, just as the Caribbean simmers with covert operations, disputed maritime strikes, and the growing sense that the United States

Top Secret, Do Not Forward: The Bolton Doctrine of National Security Scrapbooking
The federal government has finally located the one man in Washington who can make Donald Trump’s document crimes look like a Marie Kondo project. His name, once again, is John R. Bolton—a man whose mustache has seen more classified briefings than most senators. According to a newly unsealed federal indictment in Maryland, Bolton, the hawkish

Trump’s Failing Ceasefire That’s Cosplaying As A Peace Plan
At the midpoint between “mission accomplished” and “please hold,” the Gaza ceasefire now lives in the liminal space where optimism is just fatigue wearing better clothes. Cameras caught the handshakes, the solemn statements, the flags arranged like theater props—but now the applause has faded, and the work has begun to creak under its own paperwork.

When Democrats Are “Terrorists, Criminals & Aliens”: The White House’s Latest Dehumanization Exercise In Rhetoric
In the new normal of American politics, dehumanization is no longer a slip—it’s a strategy. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently told Fox News, and amplified across social platforms, that the Democratic Party’s “main constituency” is made up of “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.” The line exploded across headlines and digital chaos,

Trump: The Mirror, The March, and the Misdirection
A field guide to déjà vu in a country pretending it has never read this chapter He tells a story about a wounded nation and casts himself as the cure, and the lights are bright because glare is a better costume than truth and the soundtrack thumps because rhythm is easier to remember than evidence.
