Hegseth Summons 800 Generals to Quantico—Because Email Just Didn’t Feel Authoritarian Enough
What does it look like when a secretary of defense decides he wants to gather every general and admiral—flag officers from one-star upward—from across the globe and call them into a mystery meeting with zero explanation? In America 2025, it looks like a power play dressed in uniform. It looks like a dress rehearsal for

Watergate’s Dismal Sequel: Indicting Comey in Broad Daylight
There was a time when “indicting a former FBI Director” would have been the kind of storyline you read in paperback thrillers at the airport newsstand, usually involving shadowy double agents, a safe house in Prague, and a protagonist who knows too much. Now it’s just Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia. A federal grand jury has

Civility, Insults, and Content Wars: When the Vice President Flips the Script
It has become a perverse form of theater: a live criminal investigation, narrated in real time not by detectives but by hyperpartisan officials competing for the opening line of the news cycle. The vice president demands “civility”—then unleashes profanity. The White House leaps to blame before forensics dust a print. A former Obama speechwriter counters

The New Perjury Standard: A Partisan Scalpel For Comey
Somewhere between the solemnity of congressional hearings and the cheap thrill of cable news lies a phrase so heavy it used to rattle marble columns: lying to Congress. It once suggested disgrace, a scarlet letter on a public servant’s record. Now it is being hauled out as a courtroom cudgel, with prosecutors preparing to indict

United We Scroll: 100 Things We All Secretly Agree On That Democrats Actually Campaign On While Republicans Pretend Don’t Exist
Every morning, cable news assures us that America is a house divided, a republic hanging by a thread, two tribes locked in a forever war where a neighbor’s yard sign is the moral equivalent of Pearl Harbor. Turn on Fox News and you’ll learn Democrats are Satan’s personal interns. Flip over to MSNBC and Republicans

Epstein and Trump: Best Friends Forever on the Mall
If Washington, D.C. is America’s front lawn, then the National Mall is the part where we put out our most awkward lawn ornaments. Statues to presidents, monuments to wars, the occasional scaffolding around the Capitol—these are the ornaments meant to convey gravitas. So when a 12-foot bronze-finished sculpture depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding

Trump Cancels Talks, Shutdown Clock Ticks Louder
There are rituals in Washington that feel less like governance and more like reruns of a bad reality show. One of the longest-running is the shutdown dance: leaders promise to meet, promise to negotiate, promise to avert disaster—and then someone flips the table, storms out, and insists the other side ruined dinner. This week, the

Trump Gives His Expert Medical Advice on Tylenol
On September 22, 2025, the White House did something most of us reserve for Facebook comment threads and extended family group chats: it held a medical symposium based entirely on vibes. There, under the grand chandeliers, President Donald J. Trump—flanked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—announced that the real culprit behind autism might not

Trump at the U.N.: When the General Assembly Became a General Farce
There are speeches you remember because they alter the course of history. There are speeches you remember because they contained a moral appeal so clear that even enemies nodded. And then there are speeches you remember because the escalator broke, the teleprompter glitched, and the President of the United States called climate change “the greatest

Review of 107 Days by Kamala Harris
I listened to Kamala Harris’s new memoir 107 Days on audiobook today, and I can say without hesitation: I loved it. I’ve been a Kamala Harris fan since her days as District Attorney in San Francisco, when her mix of sharp legal instincts and political fearlessness made her one of the most interesting figures in
