The Supreme Court’s New Term: Now Playing, the Trump Cinematic Universe of Unlimited Power
On October 6, 2025, the United States Supreme Court flung open its majestic marble doors to launch the 2025–26 term, and the BBC wasted no time pointing out what the docket really is: a season pass to the Trump Expanded Universe, where executive power is both the script and the punchline. Forget your garden-variety disputes

CDC Throws Out the Blanket, Hands You a Needle and a Therapist Instead
It happened with all the subtlety of a balloon deflating at a child’s birthday party: on October 6, 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided that the era of sweeping, one-size-fits-all COVID vaccine guidance is officially over. No more “everyone six months and up gets a shot” slogans. No more universal calendar reminders.

Why “Be Civil” Is a Trap and How to Reclaim Argument Without Letting Authoritarians Win
There is a comfortable version of civic medicine that liberals love to prescribe: a warm sermon about niceness, a gentle chiding to turn down the volume, a plea to swap Twitter tirades for polite coffee with people you secretly loathe. It sounds virtuous, and in a vacuum it would be. But these are not normal

Seven Holes and a Federal Lie: How ICE’s Brighton Park Shootout Exposed No “10 Car Attack”
On October 6, 2025, the Chicago Sun-Times reported what you might call a plot twist, if the plot weren’t someone’s bleeding arm. A federal magistrate judge in Chicago, Heather McShain, rejected prosecutors’ demand to keep Marimar Martinez, 30, and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21, in jail while they await trial. Why? Because the government’s story

“Democrat Layoffs” and the Great Shutdown Purge
Day five of the shutdown, and the White House’s playbook just got darker. At 12:01 a.m. on October 1, federal funding lapsed. By October 5, director Kevin Hassett appeared on State of the Union to publicly warn: yes, mass federal layoffs could begin—if Trump deems negotiations “going nowhere.” He framed this as a conditional escalation,

Court of Maximum Ambition: How the Supreme Court Became the President’s Side Hustle
The curtain rises on a new Supreme Court term, and the docket does not so much whisper “constitutional law” as scream “everything you thought had limits now up for grabs.” Imagine a roulette table where the chips are tariffs, citizenship, regulators, voting rights, sports teams, and campaign cash. The wheel spins, the croupier smirks, and

The Shutdown Kings: This Was The GOP’s Project 2025 Plan All Along
It is a curious thing to watch a political party hold every lever of government power—White House, Senate, House of Representatives, and Supreme Court—then turn to the public with the wide eyes of a hostage negotiator and insist that it is someone else’s fault they cannot govern. It is like inheriting the keys to the

When Apple Ditches the Goggle in Favor of the Invisible Lens
It began with a whisper, a rumor caught in internal memos and whispered hallway code names. Then it broke: Apple has paused its overhaul of the expensive, bulky Vision Pro headset and is reallocating staff toward a two-track glasses program. The $3,499 mixed-reality goggle is no longer the future—it’s the relic. The future is voice,

Day One of the Fascist Purge: Russ Vought of OMB Plans to Punish Democrats
The shutdown was supposed to be about budgets. Instead, it has become a bonfire of the civil service, and the match is being struck in Russ Vought’s hand. On the first day of the shutdown, he told House Republicans that mass firings would begin “in a day or two.” This wasn’t speculation. He described a

Trump at Quantico: A Live Lie Broadcast—And the Camera Didn’t Stop Rolling
He stood before a sea of stars and bars and medals—generals, admirals, the brass elite—at Marine Corps Base Quantico. The optics were as cinematic as any rally: the uniforms glinting, the flags waving, the towers of power gathered in homage. Into that tableau walked Donald Trump, armed with a speech filled with rhetorical grenades. According
