    Trump’s Epstein Problem: The Dog That Finally Barked at 218 Signatures

    Congress rarely moves with speed unless it is the speed of decay. But once in a generation, the planets align, a freshman gets sworn in on a Friday night, and the House of Representatives actually does something explosive by accident. This week, that accident arrived in the form of newly sworn in Representative Adelita Grijalva,

    CATHOLIC GUILT FOR TRUMP: THE HOLY WATER JUST BOILED OVER

    The bishops finally found their voices again. Not the soft indoor-voice homilies that float above parish pews like incense, but something closer to a raised eyebrow from God. America’s Catholic hierarchy, after years of sounding like they were trapped between a Fox News chyron and a Vatican footnote, just dropped a “Special Message” on immigration

    From Aloy to All-In: When Horizon Goes MMO and Mobile—and the Monsters Charge

    I have a confession to make: I love MMOs. Give me the dark parking lot of EverQuest, the regimented raiding towers of World of Warcraft, the sprawling social village of Final Fantasy XIV—I’ve sat through login queues, ignored dinner invites, and hasta-la-vida’d sleep for one last respawn. So when Sony Interactive Entertainment and NCSOFT revealed

    We Learned Nothing From the 90s Internet Bubble: AI Is Going To Prematurely Ejaculate

    There is something unsettling about watching the world’s most hyped technology industry behave exactly like every other bubble in history. You know the pattern: vast promises, endless capital, faith in new magical substance, followed by negligence of the plumbing, then collective shock when the bills hit. With AI right now we are already deep into

    The $100 K Trump Grift: How the H-1B Fee Doesn’t Solve the STEM Shortage, It Exports It

    Picture this: the United States is a giant manufacturing plant filled with idle machinery, blinking warning lights and rusting gears. Somewhere, leadership is walking the floor with a cheery sign that says TALENT SHORTAGE. Meanwhile they close the door, raise the price for key workers, and then scratch their heads when the machines don’t run.

    The Algorithmic Conveyor Belt: How Rage Turns Policy Debate into an Antisemitic Pipeline

    There is a truth so obvious that it remains invisible only because we are all scrolling. The American right has not simply flirted with anti-Jewish rhetoric; some of its most influential factions have fallen straight into it. But this descent is not spontaneous. It is mechanical, economic, engineered. It is what happens when an algorithm

    Democrats Forfeit Shutdown, Filibuster Wins, Voters Get Empty Promises And Pain

    If you start a fight you cannot win, you at least leave with a lesson, a villain, and a plan. Democrats left with none of the above and a press release that reads like surrender. I agree with Tim Miller and the Pod Save America bros on the core point. It was obvious from the

    Trump Tries To Probe More People Without Consent In Florida

    There is a certain kind of breaking news alert that feels less like journalism and more like a smoke alarm that only goes off after the house is already engulfed. The latest comes from the Southern District of Florida, the federal jurisdiction that has spent the past decade juggling everything from Mar a Lago search

  • THE FORTY DAY SHUTDOWN THAT TAUGHT US NOTHING EXCEPT HOW FAST A SPINE CAN DISSOLVE

    THE FORTY DAY SHUTDOWN THAT TAUGHT US NOTHING EXCEPT HOW FAST A SPINE CAN DISSOLVE

    There is a particular kind of exhaustion that settles into the bones after a shutdown. Not the temporary kind that passes with a nap and a glass of water. The deeper kind. The kind that feels like a national hangover where the entire country wakes up at once and asks the same question in chorus:

    Greg Abbott Files for Reelection, Texas Should File for a Restraining Order

    Greg Abbott has announced, with the confidence of a man who has never once been held accountable for the weather, the grid, the cruelty, or the highway-level carnage of his own governance, that he will run for governor of Texas again. Texans did not ask for this. Texans did not pray for this. Texans did
