When the Bear Meets the Eagle in a Walmart Parking Lot: Trump, Putin, and the Art of the Ceasefire

On August 15th, President Trump will meet Vladimir Putin in the most geopolitically neutral ground imaginable: Alaska. Not Geneva, not Vienna—Alaska. A location that says, “We could’ve done this at the G7, but we were both craving a halibut sandwich.”

When Numbers Lie and the Economy is “Perfect” (According to the Man Who Invented Truth)

It’s another day in America, and the President has once again reminded us that numbers are not to be trusted. Not his numbers, of course—those are gold-plated, patriotic, and possibly blessed by the ghost of Reagan—but other people’s numbers. Specifically, the ones from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that dared to suggest inflation is rising

Side Effects May Include: Inflation, Nationalism, and Spontaneous Economic Collapse

In a recent episode of The Price is Wrong, Trump proposed imposing 250% tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals, claiming other countries are unfairly pricing medications.

The plan risks pushing the sick further into financial despair without…

To the Moon, With Malice: Sean Duffy, Space Nukes, and the Bold American Tradition of Saying “Oops” in Orbit

Because nothing says “we’ve got this under control” like a man best known for The Real World: Boston now overseeing the launch of a nuclear reactor on the moon, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—yes, that Sean Duffy—is expected to announce new directives to fast-track lunar radiation and orbital real estate development in what experts are calling

President Trump Wants a Task Force for the LA Olympics. I Assume It Will Wear Matching Windbreakers.

Nothing says “we’ve learned nothing from history” quite like handing Donald J. Trump executive oversight of an international sporting event. The man who once tried to host a G7 summit at his own golf resort is now assembling a task force to oversee the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Because nothing inspires global trust like the

America: Where the Policy Changes But the Passive-Aggression Stays the Same

Somewhere between the overturned classified documents and the overturned convictions, the Trump administration (yes, that one again) decided to quietly reverse a decades-old policy that withheld federal aid from states that penalized individuals or companies for not participating in Israel boycotts. Don’t worry if you missed it—most people were too busy photoshopping mugshots onto T-shirts

From Bench to Bar Fight: Jeanine Pirro Confirmed as U.S. Attorney for D.C., Chaos Ensues

Well, it finally happened. After years of performative shouting, a few too many box wines, and one very persistent eye twitch that could double as a metronome for national decline, Jeanine Pirro has officially been confirmed by the United States Senate as the new U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Ghislaine’s Great Escape: From High-Security Headlines to Minimum-Security Hill Country

Somewhere between the sound of cicadas and the scent of institutional brisket, Ghislaine Maxwell is adjusting to her new reality: a minimum-security federal prison camp in sunny, suspiciously welcoming Bryan, Texas. Yes, Bryan. The town best known for its proximity to literally anything more interesting and now, apparently, for hosting the disgraced socialite convicted of

You’re Fired: Trump Finds the Real Culprit Behind America’s Job Woes (Hint: It’s Not Capitalism)

In a surprising twist that shocked absolutely no one, former President Donald J. Trump has once again taken bold, decisive, and entirely unhinged action against the greatest threat to American prosperity: math. Specifically, the kind of math that results in job reports that make him look bad. Following a “disappointing” economic update, which revealed that

Depth Charges and Daddy Issues: America’s Favorite Strongman Plays Battleship With the World

In a turn of events that could only be described as “textbook masculine fragility but with submarines,” former President Donald J. Trump has responded to a so-called “highly provocative” statement from Russia not with diplomacy, nor with tact, nor even with a sharply worded tweet—but with the deployment of two nuclear submarines. Because nothing says
