When my daughter was first diagnosed with Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS), my world stopped spinning for a moment. If you’re a parent of a child with this rare neurodevelopmental disorder, you understand—there’s the grief, the overwhelm, and then the digging. So much digging. Like many of you, I’ve spent sleepless nights on medical forums, scientific journals, […]
Life has a habit of punching us in the face when we least expect it. One minute, everything is fine, and the next, your car won’t start, your boss emails you at 9 PM, and you accidentally send a text meant for your friend to your mother (who now has questions). Resilience is the thing […]

Mistakes are like unexpected software updates—they pop up at the worst possible time, disrupt everything, and force you to sit there, helpless, while life installs yet another unwanted lesson. For a long time, I thought mistakes were something to be avoided at all costs. Then I realized that’s impossible, because apparently, I am hardwired to […]

I have spent most of my adult life looking for the holy grail of productivity—that secret trick that would magically make me a focused, efficient, and successful person. I wanted to be one of those people who wake up at 5 AM, drink some kind of green sludge that allegedly increases brainpower, and finish an […]

Arab Americans are finally getting a political platform in the Trump era. And by “getting a platform,” I mean being used as strategic props. Michael Boulos, Trump’s son-in-law, is now an advisor on Middle Eastern affairs. Janette Nesheiwat has been nominated for U.S. Surgeon General. It’s all very diverse—until you remember Trump’s past Muslim bans […]

Pop quiz: What do Germany’s collapsing government, France’s political chaos, and South Korea’s leadership crisis have in common? If you guessed “Western democracy is in shambles,” congrats!

Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, thinks Andrew Cuomo is too soft on immigration. The man who once ran ICE is shocked that New York doesn’t want to turn into Texas. New York’s sanctuary city laws prevent local cops from handing immigrants over to ICE. Radical, I know. But conservatives claim these laws are a threat—which […]

The Trump administration is considering revoking the EPA’s ruling that greenhouse gases are dangerous. Because, apparently, climate change isn’t a threat—it’s just a vibe. EPA head Lee Zeldin says the rule “hurts industry” and “limits consumer choice.” Ah yes, the consumer choice to… drown in rising sea levels? Get asthma from factory smog? I love […]

A Republican congressman just misgendered Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress. Was it a slip-up? A bold stance? An attempt to distract from the fact that the GOP has no actual policies? We may never know. What we do know is that instead of just correcting himself and moving on like […]

California Governor Gavin Newsom is doing the unthinkable: talking to conservatives. That’s right, the man who banned plastic straws is now chopping it up with right-wing pundits about transgender athletes and free speech. Look, I get it. Newsom wants to be the “reasonable Democrat” who can unite America in 2028. But inviting conservative firebrands on […]

Once upon a time, Democrats and Israel were the power couple of international politics.

For the first time since 2017, a majority of Americans now disapprove of Donald Trump’s handling of the economy, according to a new CNN poll. And honestly, it’s about time. 56% of Americans now express discontent with Trump’s so-called economic “leadership,” and that number is climbing faster than the price of eggs under his tariff […]

My Thoughts on the U.S. Economy at a Crossroads I have been closely watching the U.S. economy, and I can’t ignore the cracks that are forming. With the Federal Reserve predicting a contraction in the first quarter and consumer spending plummeting, I find myself wondering if a recession is looming.

Ah, March 8—the day where corporations pretend to care about women while paying them less than their male counterparts. Happy International Women’s Day!

Imagine being a scientist in 2025. You dedicated your life to facts and research, only for the government to say, “Actually, we’re cutting your funding because we don’t like what you found.” Welcome to the Stand Up for Science 2025 movement. Thousands of researchers, doctors, and science supporters just hit the streets to protest the […]

Grab your emergency kits—another government shutdown is on the way. This time, it’s because House Democrats are refusing to sign a funding bill that guts Medicaid. And for once, I kind of respect them for standing their ground. Republicans claim it’s about “fiscal responsibility.” But if cutting Medicaid is supposed to “save money,” why does […]

You know it’s bad when the Justice Department is like, “Yeah, maybe this was a little too political.” NYC Mayor Eric Adams was looking at a career-ending bribery case—until the DOJ said, “Oops, our bad.” Turns out, the Southern District of New York handled this case like a tabloid scandal rather than an actual legal […]

Nothing says “small government” like the president personally deciding which universities deserve funding. Trump just pulled $400 million from Columbia, claiming they didn’t do enough to protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment. Now, let’s get one thing straight—antisemitism is real and dangerous. But is this really about student safety, or about punishing a university for […]

So, you thought your student loans might finally disappear? Cute. Trump just signed an executive order saying, “Not on my watch.” Public servants—teachers, nurses, firefighters—were supposed to get student debt relief. Now, if you’ve been accused of “improper activities” (whatever that means), kiss that goodbye. The best part? You don’t even need to be convicted […]

In a completely logical U.S. foreign policy shift, the government just cut intelligence sharing with Ukraine and halted military aid for Ukraine’s war effort.

We’re negotiating. Maybe next, we’ll invite […]

Trump’s latest genius economic policy decision? A 25% import tariff on Canada and Mexico.

The Trump administration just made a brilliant move for veterans’ healthcare access—by slashing 80,000 jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs workforce.

America: where the news sounds like a rejected Black Mirror episode. If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, politics feels like a bad reality show,” congratulations—you have eyes. And a functioning brain. The past few years have blurred the lines between governance and entertainment so thoroughly that even Netflix executives are taking notes. At this rate, it’s […]
Welcome to 202X: Where Satire and Reality Blur Together Does modern politics feel like a never-ending reality show, except there’s no off switch and the plot twists are getting stranger?

The anticipation surrounding the Epstein report was like expecting a fireworks show and getting a damp sparkler instead. Many conservatives, particularly Trump supporters, were bracing for an explosive revelation from the Trump administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ)—one that would supposedly expose high-profile Democrats. But when the moment arrived, it landed with all the impact of […]

Elon Musk—self-made billionaire, part-time Mars colonizer, and full-time opinion-haver—recently declared that the only way to “restore the rule of the people” in America is to impeach judges. Not just one or two. All of them. Well, at least the ones he doesn’t like. This isn’t the first time Musk has weighed in on democracy from […]

I appreciate your honesty. It takes a fair bit of life lived and coffee consumed to get to the place where you can say, “I’ve tried different routes, and I think we’re on our own.” That’s not a small admission, and it carries the weight of experience.

I don’t know when it happened exactly, but the world just isn’t the same anymore. It’s not just me, right? I’m not saying everything was perfect before COVID. It wasn’t.

By now, I should know better than to watch a White House press conference expecting information. That’s like expecting my dog to suddenly recite Hamlet—it’s just not in the cards.

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Donald Trump took the stage to do what he does best—claim credit for things he didn’t do, blame everyone else for things he did do, and promise a future where America is once again… well, exactly the same, but somehow better.

OTTAWA — Thousands of Canadians are calling for Elon Musk to be stripped of his Canadian citizenship, with a rapidly growing parliamentary petition surpassing 34,000 signatures. At the center of the controversy is Musk’s close relationship with Donald Trump, which critics argue threatens Canada’s sovereignty. Trump has suggested tariffs on Canadian goods and even joked […]

Alright, let’s get real—clean energy isn’t just about saving cute polar bears or making rich guys in Patagonia vests feel good about themselves. It’s about jobs, jobs, jobs.

Ever wonder why billionaires have more yachts than they pay in taxes? While the ultra-rich stash their fortunes in offshore accounts, the rest of us are funding schools, roads, and hospitals. Meanwhile, working families struggle with medical bills, student loans, and skyrocketing rent. Enter the billionaire wealth tax—a practical, high-impact solution to fix income inequality […]

Silence. That weird, awkward thing we avoid at all costs. We fill it with mindless scrolling, background noise, and conversations we don’t even want to have.

Let’s get one thing straight: an economy that works for only a handful of people is not an economy—it’s a scam.

America’s healthcare system is like a bad group project—overpriced, chaotic, and somehow still failing despite record-breaking spending. The U.S. pours more money into healthcare than any other country, yet millions of people can’t afford to see a doctor.

Raising the minimum wage should be a no-brainer—people need to afford rent, groceries, and, yes, even the occasional overpriced oat milk latte. But for small businesses, a sudden wage hike can feel less like progress and more like a death sentence.

Let’s be honest—politics is a never-ending noise machine. Everyone’s got an opinion, and most of them are shouting it from the rooftops (or, more accurately, from Twitter).

It’s official: the American people love dictatorship. They just need it to be wrapped in a flag, hollering about “freedom,” and conveniently ignoring reality.

President Donald Trump has unveiled his unique interpretation of democracy, suggesting that if he’s “saving the country,” he is above the law.

The night before Donald Trump’s second inauguration—because America just loves a sequel—22-year-old conservative activist CJ Pearson threw a party for right-wing influencers who had, against all odds (and reality), rallied behind the former president. A week later, he got an email from NYU journalism student Julia Diorio asking for an interview about his social media […]

The Department of Justice has finally cracked the code on workplace morale. No, not by holding powerful people accountable or ensuring fair prosecutions—but by launching a “Resignation Incentive Program” to help prosecutors quit before their souls do. Yes, instead of fixing systemic corruption, the DOJ’s brilliant solution is to encourage employees to resign when faced […]
Good news, everyone! The same oil companies that have spent decades torching the planet like a backyard bonfire have finally decided to care about climate change. Their solution? Organic drilling.

In an unexpected act of generosity, the world’s richest individuals have unveiled a bold new economic strategy: instead of wealth “trickling down” (which it never did), money will now trickle up—but in reverse, or something. Billionaires claim this new plan will reduce the wealth gap and stimulate economic growth by redistributing money downward—which, if true, […]
The U.S. intelligence community has long struggled with groupthink, bureaucratic bloat, and the occasional whoopsie that leads to a decades-long war.

In his latest attempt to reinvent things that already exist, Elon Musk has decided that democracy is simply too expensive to maintain. And honestly, he’s got a point—have you seen the price tag?

In today’s edition of Using Religion to Justify Whatever You Want, Senator J.D. Vance has discovered a totally real, definitely-not-made-up Catholic doctrine that supports mass deportations. Apparently, if you squint hard enough at the Bible (or just completely rewrite it), Jesus stops being that “love thy neighbor” guy and starts moonlighting as a border patrol […]
The Department of Justice has unveiled a bold new approach to legal accountability: prosecution based on vibes.

Considering a Low-Protein, Vegan, and Raw-Till-4 Diet for Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome: 7 Potential Benefits
When my daughter was first diagnosed with Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome (PTHS), my world stopped spinning for a moment. If you’re a parent of a child with this rare neurodevelopmental disorder, you understand—there’s the grief, the overwhelm, and then the digging. So much digging. Like many of you, I’ve spent sleepless nights on medical forums, scientific journals, […]
12 Simple Ways to Become More Resilient Every Day (Even When the Universe is Against You)
Life has a habit of punching us in the face when we least expect it. One minute, everything is fine, and the next, your car won’t start, your boss emails you at 9 PM, and you accidentally send a text meant for your friend to your mother (who now has questions). Resilience is the thing […]
5 Mistakes That Taught Me My Greatest Life Lessons (The Hard Way, Of Course)

I have spent most of my adult life looking for the holy grail of productivity—that secret trick that would magically make me a focused, efficient, and successful person.

Arab Americans in Politics: Welcome to the Club—Sort Of
Arab Americans are finally getting a political platform in the Trump era. And by “getting a platform,” I mean being used as strategic props. Michael Boulos, Trump’s son-in-law, is now an advisor on Middle Eastern affairs. Janette Nesheiwat has been nominated for U.S. Surgeon General. It’s all very diverse—until you remember Trump’s past Muslim bans […]
The World is Falling Apart—And America is Leading the Way
Pop quiz: What do Germany’s collapsing government, France’s political chaos, and South Korea’s leadership crisis have in common? If you guessed “Western democracy is in shambles,” congrats!

New York’s Sanctuary City Debate: A Reality Show No One Asked For
Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, thinks Andrew Cuomo is too soft on immigration. The man who once ran ICE is shocked that New York doesn’t want to turn into Texas. New York’s sanctuary city laws prevent local cops from handing immigrants over to ICE. Radical, I know. But conservatives claim these laws are a threat—which […]
The EPA Wants to Unplug the Planet’s Life Support—Again
The Trump administration is considering revoking the EPA’s ruling that greenhouse gases are dangerous. Because, apparently, climate change isn’t a threat—it’s just a vibe. EPA head Lee Zeldin says the rule “hurts industry” and “limits consumer choice.” Ah yes, the consumer choice to… drown in rising sea levels? Get asthma from factory smog? I love […]
Misgendering in Congress: Where Decorum Goes to Die
A Republican congressman just misgendered Rep. Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress. Was it a slip-up? A bold stance? An attempt to distract from the fact that the GOP has no actual policies? We may never know. What we do know is that instead of just correcting himself and moving on like […]
Gavin Newsom’s Wild Ride: From Liberal Darling to Podcast Bro
California Governor Gavin Newsom is doing the unthinkable: talking to conservatives. That’s right, the man who banned plastic straws is now chopping it up with right-wing pundits about transgender athletes and free speech. Look, I get it. Newsom wants to be the “reasonable Democrat” who can unite America in 2028. But inviting conservative firebrands on […]
Democrats’ Love for Israel: A Tragic Love Story Gone Wrong
Once upon a time, Democrats and Israel were the power couple of international politics. They held hands at the U.N., sent each other military aid love letters, and whispered sweet nothings about democracy. But now? It’s giving breakup. Polls show Democratic support for Israel has plummeted below 50%, while Republicans remain loyal like a golden […]
Trump’s Economic Approval Plummets for the First Time Since 2017: What It Means for America
For the first time since 2017, a majority of Americans now disapprove of Donald Trump’s handling of the economy, according to a new CNN poll.

My Thoughts on the U.S. Economy at a Crossroads I have been closely watching the U.S. economy, and I can’t ignore the cracks that are forming.

Trump’s economic policies, particularly his […]
International Women’s Day 2025: More Than Just Corporate Feminism?
Ah, March 8—the day where corporations pretend to care about women while paying them less than their male counterparts. Happy International Women’s Day! This year’s theme is “Accelerate Action,” which basically translates to “Stop making us fight for the same rights over and over again.” And it’s not just about pay gaps—it’s about reproductive rights, […]
Scientists Are Over It—Mass Protests Against Trump’s Anti-Science Policies
Imagine being a scientist in 2025.

Thousands of researchers, doctors, and science supporters just hit the streets to protest the […]
Government Shutdown Incoming? House Democrats Say ‘No’ to Medicaid Cuts
Grab your emergency kits—another government shutdown is on the way. This time, it’s because House Democrats are refusing to sign a funding bill that guts Medicaid. And for once, I kind of respect them for standing their ground. Republicans claim it’s about “fiscal responsibility.” But if cutting Medicaid is supposed to “save money,” why does […]
NYC Mayor’s Corruption Case Just Took a Wild Turn—And It’s Not What You Think
You know it’s bad when the Justice Department is like, “Yeah, maybe this was a little too political.” NYC Mayor Eric Adams was looking at a career-ending bribery case—until the DOJ said, “Oops, our bad.” Turns out, the Southern District of New York handled this case like a tabloid scandal rather than an actual legal […]
Trump Pulls $400 Million From Columbia University—Is Free Speech on Campus Dead?
Nothing says “small government” like the president personally deciding which universities deserve funding. Trump just pulled $400 million from Columbia, claiming they didn’t do enough to protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment. Now, let’s get one thing straight—antisemitism is real and dangerous. But is this really about student safety, or about punishing a university for […]
Biden’s Student Loan Forgiveness? Trump Just Hit the Undo Button
So, you thought your student loans might finally disappear? Cute. Trump just signed an executive order saying, “Not on my watch.” Public servants—teachers, nurses, firefighters—were supposed to get student debt relief. Now, if you’ve been accused of “improper activities” (whatever that means), kiss that goodbye. The best part? You don’t even need to be convicted […]
Ukraine Left Hanging While We Cozy Up to Hamas
In a completely logical U.S. foreign policy shift, the government just cut intelligence sharing with Ukraine and halted military aid for Ukraine’s war effort. Meanwhile, we’re now having direct U.S.-Hamas negotiations. So, to recap: an American ally fighting Russian aggression? Abandoned. A U.S.-designated terrorist group in the Middle East? We’re negotiating. Maybe next, we’ll invite […]
Trump’s Tariff Tantrum Will Cost You
Trump’s latest genius economic policy decision? A 25% import tariff on Canada and Mexico. He swears this will boost U.S. manufacturing jobs, but here’s what it’ll really do: raise consumer goods prices in America. From higher grocery costs to increased car prices, get ready to pay more while multinational corporations find loopholes to protect their […]
VA Layoffs: Supporting the Troops by Abandoning Them
The Trump administration just made a brilliant move for veterans’ healthcare access—by slashing 80,000 jobs at the Department of Veterans Affairs workforce. Because nothing says “thank you for your service” like gutting VA medical staff, ensuring longer wait times for military veterans seeking healthcare, and cutting off essential support for those suffering from PTSD treatment […]
10 Reasons My Toddler Is My Boss (And Why I’ll Never Get a Raise)
Being a stay-at-home dad of a special needs child is a lot like working for a CEO who has no qualifications, no chill, and a strict “breakfast must be served in the correct color bowl or else” policy. The job comes with zero pay, no benefits, and an on-call schedule that would make emergency room […]

The Hypocrisy Games: Trump, Tate, and the Republican Reality Distortion Field
Protecting the Children—Unless They’re Victims of Our Friends Ah, Republicans and their never-ending crusade to “protect the children.” From drag queens? Absolutely. From books? Without question. From actual predators? Well… that depends on whether said predators have a blue checkmark and a podcast about “alpha males.” For years, the GOP has been on a relentless […]
DOJ Weaponized? More Like the World’s Worst Episode of Law & Order
It’s finally happened. We’ve reached peak “reverse uno” politics, where the actual people committing crimes are now investigating their political enemies for… checks notes… talking too passionately. Because nothing says “justice” like the U.S. Attorney for D.C. deciding that Chuck Schumer giving a speech is the real national emergency—not, you know, actual criminals, domestic terrorists, […]

Republicans Booed at Their Own Town Halls—So Obviously, It’s a Soros Conspiracy
So, Republicans are getting yelled at by their own voters, huh?At town halls.In deep red districts.

Politics or Reality TV? Absurd Predictions That Might Actually Happen
America: where the news sounds like a rejected Black Mirror episode. If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, politics feels like a bad reality show,” congratulations—you have eyes. And a functioning brain.

The Epstein Report Release: A Show Without Substance
The anticipation surrounding the Epstein report was like expecting a fireworks show and getting a damp sparkler instead.

But when the moment arrived, it landed with all the impact of […]
The Rule of Law, Elon Musk, and Why We Probably Shouldn’t Take Cues from El Salvador
Elon Musk—self-made billionaire, part-time Mars colonizer, and full-time opinion-haver—recently declared that the only way to “restore the rule of the people” in America is to impeach judges. Not just one or two. All of them. Well, at least the ones he doesn’t like. This isn’t the first time Musk has weighed in on democracy from […]
The Choice to Care: Faith, Action, and the Good We Leave Behind
I appreciate your honesty. It takes a fair bit of life lived and coffee consumed to get to the place where you can say, “I’ve tried different routes, and I think we’re on our own.” That’s not a small admission, and it carries the weight of experience. I won’t argue theology with you, because that’s […]
The World Went to Hell in a Handbasket—And We Let It Happen
I don’t know when it happened exactly, but the world just isn’t the same anymore. It’s not just me, right? I’m not saying everything was perfect before COVID. It wasn’t. People still had loud phone conversations in the grocery store, you still had to listen to an automated voice tell you to “please listen carefully, […]
Chaos, Controversy, and Confusion: A White House Press Conference for the History Books
By now, I should know better than to watch a White House press conference expecting information. That’s like expecting my dog to suddenly recite Hamlet—it’s just not in the cards.

Trump’s CPAC Speech Was FULL of Lies—Here’s the Truth He Doesn’t Want You to Know!
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Donald Trump took the stage to do what he does best—claim credit for things he didn’t do, blame everyone else for things he did do, and promise a future where America is once again… well, exactly the same, but somehow better.

5 Ways to Embrace Silence: A Journey to Inner Stillness

6 Economic Benefits of Strengthening Workers’ Rights
Let’s get one thing straight: an economy that works for only a handful of people is not an economy—it’s a scam. And right now, workers are getting the short end of the deal while CEOs launch themselves into space for fun. Strengthening workers’ rights isn’t just about fairness or dignity (though, yeah, those are important); […]
5 Reasons Universal Healthcare Could Save the Economy Billions
America’s healthcare system is like a bad group project—overpriced, chaotic, and somehow still failing despite record-breaking spending. The U.S. pours more money into healthcare than any other country, yet millions of people can’t afford to see a doctor. Meanwhile, insurance companies and pharmaceutical giants rake in massive profits while working families face financial ruin over […]
7 Ways to Boost the Minimum Wage Without Hurting Small Businesses
Raising the minimum wage should be a no-brainer—people need to afford rent, groceries, and, yes, even the occasional overpriced oat milk latte. But for small businesses, a sudden wage hike can feel less like progress and more like a death sentence. Meanwhile, corporate giants keep wages low while raking in record profits, leaving local businesses […]
The Secret Power of Silence: Why the Loudest Politicians Might Be Losing
Let’s be honest—politics is a never-ending noise machine. Everyone’s got an opinion, and most of them are shouting it from the rooftops (or, more accurately, from Twitter). But here’s the kicker: some of the most fascinating figures in politics are the ones who say less, not more. Think Barack Obama post-presidency, Hillary Clinton post-2016, or […]
How Gen X Women Created the Stay-at-Home Dad (And Yes, That’s Me)
Oh, hey there. It’s me. A dad. A stay-at-home dad, if you will. A domesticated male of the species, found in his natural habitat—Costco, wondering if we already have peanut butter at home. And before you ask, yes, I know what I have done. I know how I got here. I know that my mere […]
Turns Out America Loves a Dictatorship Wrapped in a Flag
It’s official: the American people love dictatorship. They just need it to be wrapped in a flag, hollering about “freedom,” and conveniently ignoring reality. According to the latest polls, former (or let’s be honest, current-in-spirit) President Donald J. Trump is soaring with a 50% approval rating. And why? Because he’s delivering on his promises—whether those […]
DOJ Drops Corruption Charges Against Mayor Adams for Political Convenience
Justice, But Make It Convenient In yet another episode of Justice: Now You See It, Now You Don’t, a federal judge has raised a very logical, very lawyer-y question: Why exactly did the Department of Justice suddenly decide to drop its corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams?

The Supreme Court Is About to Make a Big Choice—For All of Us

Trump Suggests Laws Don’t Apply To Him If He “Saves The Country”
President Donald Trump has unveiled his unique interpretation of democracy, suggesting that if he’s “saving the country,” he is above the law.

Barron Trump: The Mystery, The Myth, The MAGA Obsession
The night before Donald Trump’s second inauguration—because America just loves a sequel—22-year-old conservative activist CJ Pearson threw a party for right-wing influencers who had, against all odds (and reality), rallied behind the former president.

DOJ Introduces ‘Resignation Incentive Program’—Because Ethics Are Overrated
The Department of Justice has finally cracked the code on workplace morale. No, not by holding powerful people accountable or ensuring fair prosecutions—but by launching a “Resignation Incentive Program” to help prosecutors quit before their souls do. Yes, instead of fixing systemic corruption, the DOJ’s brilliant solution is to encourage employees to resign when faced […]
Big Oil Goes Green! Now Promises ‘Organic’ Oil Spills and Free Tree with Every Purchase
Good news, everyone! The same oil companies that have spent decades torching the planet like a backyard bonfire have finally decided to care about climate change. Their solution? Organic drilling.

Billionaires Announce ‘Trickle-Up’ Economics—Totally Not a Scam, Promise
In an unexpected act of generosity, the world’s richest individuals have unveiled a bold new economic strategy: instead of wealth “trickling down” (which it never did), money will now trickle up—but in reverse, or something.

Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence? A True Test of Intelligence
The U.S. intelligence community has long struggled with groupthink, bureaucratic bloat, and the occasional whoopsie that leads to a decades-long war.

From Democrat to […]
Elon Musk Wants to Cut Government Costs—Democracy Is Just Too Pricey
In his latest attempt to reinvent things that already exist, Elon Musk has decided that democracy is simply too expensive to maintain. And honestly, he’s got a point—have you seen the price tag?

J.D. Vance Says Catholicism Supports Deportations—A Holy Revelation
In today’s edition of Using Religion to Justify Whatever You Want, Senator J.D. Vance has discovered a totally real, definitely-not-made-up Catholic doctrine that supports mass deportations.

DOJ Drops Charges Against Eric Adams—A Masterclass in Streamlined Justice
