How Trump’s “Peace Plan” Turned Ukraine into a Real Estate Distressed Asset

Trump’s ICE Body Bag: Where the Amenities Are Tylenol and a Body Bag
The wind in the high desert of Victorville, California, blows with a specific, sand-blasting indifference. It strips the paint off cars and the hope off human beings with equal efficiency.

The Black Box Breaks Open: Why OpenAI Can No longer Hide Behind the Magic Trick
For the last two years, OpenAI has not really been a technology company. It has been a theology. It operated on the collective faith that if we just fed enough money and electricity into the black box, a digital god would emerge to solve cancer, climate change, and the burden of writing email subject lines.

The Privacy of Arsonists: Why Congressional Seditionists Are Suddenly Worried About Their Data Plans
The modern American Senator is a creature of profound, almost biological delicacy. They are capable of summoning a mob to the steps of the Capitol, feeding that mob a steady diet of existential dread and lies, and then, when the glass breaks and the tear gas clears, they are capable of weeping softly because someone

The Red Scare on Pennsylvania Avenue: Why Trump Thinks Fixing the Subway Is a Bolshevik Plot
The intellectual architecture of the modern American right wing is built on a foundation of very specific, load-bearing misunderstandings, but none is quite as structural as their inability to distinguish between a democratic socialist and a Soviet commissar.

404 Unemployment Not Found: The BLS Just Canceled the October Jobs Report and Ghosted the Recession
The Month That Never Was: How the Government Just Deleted Your Job Loss From History The official story of the American economy is no longer a narrative of numbers or a collection of data points.

The federal government has always been a bit of a Rube Goldberg machine, but typically the people in charge try to hide the duct tape. On November 18, 2025, Education Secretary Linda McMahon decided to rip the tape off, dismantle the machine, and sell the parts to the neighbors. In what can only be described

Stop Calling It “The Economy”: It’s Just a Mood Ring for Billionaires
We need to retire the word “economy.” We need to take it out back, behind the woodshed of political discourse, and bury it next to “trickle-down” and “compassionate conservatism.” It has become a linguistic shield, a hollow propaganda term used by CNBC anchors and politicians to gaslight you into believing that your inability to buy

Mike Johnson’s Tears: Mourning the Loss of a Perfectly Good Trumped Up Epstein Cover-Up
The political class has spent months trying to perform an elaborate magic trick: make the entirety of the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein disappear. They called the push for public disclosure a “hoax,” then a partisan attack, then a distraction. Yet, the Epstein Files Transparency Act survived their calculated attempts at erasure, sailing through the
