Today, Elon Musk announced he’s stepping down from his role at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—a vanity project Trump cooked up to give his favorite billionaire something to do besides tank Twitter in real time. Musk strutted out of the post with his usual smugness, claiming he’s “cut a trillion dollars in waste.” […]

Once upon a time, a fact was a fact. A lie was a lie. And calling someone out for corruption, fraud, or authoritarian lunacy was at least the beginning of a conversation. But now? Now we live in the age of the magic incantation—a spell cast with two words that instantly erase accountability, deflect truth, […]
Only for the Right People, the Best People Preamble We, the Rightful and Righteous Beneficiaries of American Greatness, in solemn assembly and under divine contract with History, do hereby reclaim the sacred parchment of Liberty from the clutches of reason, dissent, and minority opinion. In pursuit of a more compliant populace, the preservation of elite […]
Ask anyone in this country whether the United States could become a totalitarian regime and you’ll hear the same answer: “Not here.” We’re the land of the free. We’re the guardians of democracy. We have checks and balances, free elections, a Constitution. That sort of thing happens in banana republics and history books—not in America. […]
In a recent string of statements, several Fox News personalities have argued that due process is simply too hard when it comes to deporting immigrants. It’s too slow, too cumbersome, too inconvenient. We’re told that judges and hearings and rights are “luxuries” we can’t afford. That when it comes to undocumented people, we should just […]

You’ve just been drafted into a situation that can end your career, compromise national security, and possibly get you subpoenaed. Do not click “accept.” Do not pretend that “end-to-end encryption” makes it okay. We regret to […]
A six-year old girl in Texas is dead. Not because of some rare, incurable disease. Not because doctors couldn’t save her. She died because her parents—guided by outdated, arrogant beliefs dressed up as faith—refused to protect her from a disease we’ve had a vaccine for since the 1970s. She caught measles. They gave her castor […]
Let’s get something straight right now: Elon Musk is a disaster. He is a billionaire troll, an egomaniac who masquerades as a free speech warrior while silencing critics, a man who has taken one of the most innovative companies of our time and turned it into a chaotic extension of his own fragile ego. He […]
Cancel culture. The great evil of our time—at least, that’s what conservatives want you to believe. According to them, cancel culture is a leftist plague: silencing free speech, destroying careers, and eroding the very fabric of American society. They rage against it on cable news, rant about it in congressional hearings, and cry victim whenever […]
There was a time when the United States at least pretended to stand for something. Now? Now, we watch as a nation we swore to support is battered, bombed, and bled dry, and Washington’s response is a pathetic shrug. The same politicians who draped themselves in Ukrainian flags two years ago now act as if […]
