    Shutdown: The First Hairline Fracture in the Blue Wall

    For three weeks, Chuck Schumer has performed the Senate equivalent of yoga on hot coals—keeping forty-nine Democrats in the lotus position while the government burns around them. It worked, until it didn’t. Axios dropped the news like a leaky ceiling tile: Georgia senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock quietly crossed the aisle on a Republican

    The People’s House, Privately Bulldozed: How the East Wing Vanished While We Were Looking Away

    Let’s start with the blunt fact: the East Wing of the White House—the entire public-facing half of the executive mansion—no longer exists. It’s gone. Not “under renovation,” not “under review,” but demolished. The Office of the First Lady, the Social Office, the Calligraphy Office, the Visitor Entrance, the East Colonnade, the Family Theater—flattened to rebar

    Third Term? Nice Try. But After January 6th, Pretending He Won’t Try Is the Real Fantasy

    A twice-elected president doesn’t get a do-over—but anyone who watched the fake elector schemes, the pressure on state officials, and the January 6th gambit knows attempts can be real; the likeliest 2028 plays are pressure campaigns, calendar games, and emergency pretexts that slam into law, courts, and a public done being played—no matter how grand

    The People’s Propaganda: Beijing Declares America Dead While Measuring Its Own Pulse

    China has officially diagnosed the United States with “terminal democracy.” According to Chinese state media, America is “dying from within,” “a failed state,” and—if you believe the new string of editorials—just a few supply-chain snags away from the global hospice ward. The declaration arrived perfectly timed with the Chinese Communist Party’s closed-door Fourth Plenum, where

    Trump’s The Apprentice: Kremlin Edition

    It took three years, two wars, and one canceled summit for America’s Strongman-in-Chief to finally pretend to stand up to his idol—and even now, it looks more like performance art than policy. The White House has slapped sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, Russia’s two biggest oil arteries and the bankroll of Vladimir Putin’s imperial cosplay.

    Mar-a-Washington: How Trump’s Epstein Ballroom Became the White House Tear-Down

    There’s a deeply surreal moment when the president of the United States signals that the people’s house is also his personal club—then backs it up by tearing it open with excavators before answering the paperwork. That moment is now, courtesy of the reported teardown of the East Wing of the White House to build a new

    “You’re on Your Own, Kid”: The Chaos That Would Follow Killing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)

    Picture it: You wake up tomorrow and the Affordable Care Act—the rickety scaffolding that keeps our health-care carnival from collapsing—has vanished overnight. No repeal-and-replace. No Medicare-for-All sequel. Just an empty folder where your coverage used to live, and a nation of 330 million people standing in line at CVS holding expired insurance cards and prayer

    The Man Who Sued Himself: How Trump Turned “Equal Justice Under Law” into “Cash App Me, DOJ”

    If late-stage empire ever needed a mascot, Donald Trump just nominated himself—and sent the bill to the Justice Department. According to The New York Times (and verified by outlets that still remember what fact-checking is), the President of the United States is currently pressing his own Justice Department to pay him $230 million. Not for

    The Mirage Economy: When the GDP Grows but Nobody Hires

    It’s official: America is thriving—on paper. The GDP is glowing like a ring light on a politician’s livestream. The stock market is preening. The White House comms shop is drafting victory tweets about “resilience.” And yet, if you’re an actual human being with a pulse, a rent payment, and a résumé floating in the void,

    Amazon To Cut 600,000 Jobs: When They Offer You a Robot Berserker for Free Shipping

    There’s a moment in every supposedly “innovative” company where the victory lap turns into a funeral procession—and for Amazon, the leaked plan to automate three-quarters of its operations and eliminate or avoid hiring over 600,000 U.S. jobs by 2033 marks the coffin nail. These aren’t little tweaks; internal strategy documents show the robotics team wants
