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. It has become a theological exercise. On November 19, 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics made history in the quietest,

The Department of Education Is Now a Ghost Ship, and Linda McMahon Is Selling the Copper Wiring
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

The Epstein Files: Trump Choose Your Own Political Adventure Where Reality Always Loses
The contemporary political narrative often moves at a speed that blurs the lines between fact and fabrication, but rarely does it achieve the dizzying, nauseating velocity of the Trump administration’s internal policy on the “Epstein files.” What began as a solemn promise of transparency quickly dissolved into a spectacular display of gaslighting, denial, and panicked

The Hoax That Ate the House: Why a 427-1 Vote Feels Like Zero Accountability
The spectacle of Washington operating at speed, with overwhelming bipartisan agreement, is generally reserved for declaring war or giving tax breaks to billionaires. But this week, the gears of Congress ground forward with unnerving velocity to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act. After months of calculated stonewalling from the usual suspects in Trump-world, the House

The Map Is Not a Bloodsport, But They Brought a Chainsaw Anyway: A Texas Takedown
The quiet, un-televised cruelty of American political mechanics often hides in plain sight, tucked away in the arcana of cartography and statute. It is, perhaps, fitting that the quietest, most surgical rebuke to Texas Republican political dominance did not come from a grand moral proclamation or a sweeping popular wave. It came instead from a

Marjorie Taylor Greene: The Redemption Trap and the Rage Machine
So here is the question that refuses to be polite. Does everyone deserve a redemption arc. The storybook says yes. The sermon says forgiveness is a commandment. The friend you confided in after the worst year of your life says it depends. The criminal code says it is complicated. The internet says never. And the…

From Gaza Clips to Nazi TikTok: How the Algorithm Funnels Kids to White Nationalism
When Tucker Carlson sits down for a warm, fireside-vibe chat with Nick Fuentes and the discourse acts shocked, maybe the real scandal is how quickly the algorithm now ushers young people from “criticizing a government” to “maybe Jews don’t belong in America.” Tucker Carlson has always been something of a political weather vane, albeit the

America’s New Hunger Games Begins, and the Prize Is Permission To Eat
Trump calls it “One Big Beautiful Bill,” but the only thing getting beautified is the balance sheet Congress cares about more than hungry families. The thing about austerity is that it never arrives dressed as cruelty. It shows up in a blazer, smiles politely, talks about discipline, and promises to fix the books. It nods
