Marjorie Taylor Greene is once again making the rounds with her “I have regrets” routine, a performance of reflection, gentleness, and Christian humility that materializes only when she’s politically cornered. She thinks we’ve forgotten. She thinks we don’t keep receipts. She thinks we’ll believe her simply because she whispers Jesus like it’s a magic word […]

Karoline Leavitt reminds us so often it practically counts as a devotional ritual: The Trump administration is the most transparent administration in American history. And who are we to question this gospel? Let us instead examine the brilliant examples of this legendary transparency, many examples drawn from just the past few weeks, where Trump’s openness […]
Forty days. Forty days of shutdown, fear, and uncertainty. Forty days of workers without pay, travelers stranded, and families wondering if their next doctor’s visit would be covered. And for what? For nothing. Absolutely nothing. The longest government shutdown in American history has ended not with victory, not with progress, but with surrender. A surrender […]
“All we want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID” — President Donald J. Trump It sounds simple — obvious, even. That’s the trick. Authoritarians have always loved the obvious answer because it disguises the malicious one. The United […]
The filibuster is not a law of nature. It’s a self-inflicted wound used to turn cowardice into strategy and accountability into myth. Make no mistake, my friends: the Republican Senate majority wants the government shut down. They always did. Everything you are witnessing is a charade.

The first duty of a public servant is moral clarity.

Instead, JD Vance chose to sneer. When reporters uncovered a torrent of vile messages from the Young […]
Anti-fascism did not begin as a movement of masked youth or street protests. It began as the most basic moral instinct of humankind: to resist domination, cruelty, and the worship of power. Long before anyone called it “Antifa,” it was the underground network smuggling Jews out of Germany, the Spanish Republicans fighting Franco’s troops, the […]
There is nothing accidental about the way Trump talks about American cities. He does not stumble into exaggeration; he crafts it. He calls Portland a “war zone” on a Monday and by Sunday the narrative is seeding itself across cable shows and social posts. He points a finger, the cameras magnify the finger, and then […]
“If the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign…” Former fox news anchor, pete “bro” hegseth They assembled them all in one room. The generals, the admirals, the brass polished to a high shine. And then Dictator Donny and G.I Pete subjected our military […]
The latest trick of America’s ruling blowhards is branding the most obvious human decency as terrorism. Say you’re anti-fascist and suddenly you’re a threat to national security. Antifa! they shriek, as if the word itself has fangs. Let’s be clear. Antifa means anti-fascist. If you aren’t anti-fascist, then what exactly are you? Pro-fascist? Neutral on […]
