From D.C. to Gaza: When Local Control Becomes a Myth in the Name of Order
The lesson here is simple but uncomfortable: local control is only as strong as the willingness of those in power to respect it. Once that respect is gone, the structures that protect autonomy can be dismantled piece by piece until all that’s left is the illusion of choice. From the capital’s federalized police force to…

Redefining Gender, One Eraser at a Time
The danger isn’t just this one policy. It’s the normalization of using administrative power to erase marginalized identities from legal recognition. Once that’s accepted, it can be applied anywhere — and to anyone. Today it’s trans students. Tomorrow it could be any group that makes those in power uncomfortable. The only qualification for being targeted…

When Shots Echo in Hallowed Halls: CDC Under Fire, Misinformation to Blame
Here’s the hard truth: when misinformation becomes gospel, shooting at disease-fighting institutions becomes protest. When public health is delegitimized by those in power, the weapons stop being metaphorical. At the end of this horror, officers died, scientists feared for their lives, and toddlers cried behind locked doors. And while logos and bullet casings can be…

Jim Acosta Interviews AI-Generated Shooting Victim, and Journalism Finally Eats Its Own Soul
here’s a point at which “innovative” stops meaning forward-thinking and starts meaning we ran out of shame. We are well past that point. Journalism’s job is to speak to the living, hold the powerful accountable, and honor the dead with accuracy and dignity. This? This is puppeteering the dead for clicks, calling it progress, and…

Trump Taps Heritage Foundation Economist to Run Bureau of Labor Statistics — Because What Is Math Without Ideology?
It’s easy to shrug off an appointment like this as inside-baseball politics. But the numbers the BLS produces influence interest rates, Social Security cost-of-living adjustments, wage negotiations, and how every American feels about the state of the economy. Put the wrong storyteller in charge of those numbers, and you can warp not just policy, but…

The Ministry of MAGA Purity: Laura Loomer’s White House Talent Show
The scariest part? This isn’t satire. The talent show’s already happening; it’s just dressed in bureaucratic language and the American flag. The audience — us — is left to decide whether we’re watching political theater or the prelude to something much darker. Because purges don’t stop when the list is done. They stop when there’s…

BREAKING: Trump Takes Over DC Police in “Law & Order” Miracle — Deploys National Guard for Public Theater
WASHINGTON —History books have a habit of glossing over the quieter coups. The ones without tanks rolling through the streets, without generals at microphones, without gunfire. The coups that happen under the cover of “public safety,” with a smile, a signature, and a TV camera. This week, Donald Trump proved that you can drape a

The Art of the Strategic Amnesia: Trump’s Epstein Damage Control Summit
Washington has seen its share of “nothing to see here” moments, but this week’s gathering in the West Wing might be the new gold standard. Picture it: Vice President J.D. Vance, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and loyalist-turned-FBI-director Kash Patel huddled together under the genteel glow of White House sconces, plotting a strategy to

When You Tell Me Restaurants Are Under Threat, I Say: “No Sh*t, They Literally Are”
Restaurants are collapsing like dominoes in a windstorm, but apparently CNN still felt the need to headline it: “Restaurants Are Under Threat as Costs Skyrocket and Consumers Cut Back.” If you read that and thought, Oh, really? Food costs are eating the industry alive, who could’ve guessed?—you’re both correct and complicit in the slowdown of

A Capital Relocation Program: Now With Extra Federal Flair
The nation’s capital has always been a theater for spectacle—power lunches, political scandal, and monuments that double as photo ops for eighth-graders on field trips. But this week, President Trump decided the city’s most enduring monument—its unhoused population—was not photogenic enough for the coming election season. In an announcement delivered with the kind of theatrical
