President Trump has a long history of disparaging members of the military who disagree with him. Back in 2015, he shrugged off John McCain’s five and a half years as a POW with “He’s not a war hero… I like people who weren’t captured,” and kept sniping at him even after he died. It runs…
Choose you this day whom ye shall serve. It is imperative that We The People maintain a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR DICTATORS. “I, Adam G. House, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and…

Treating the Constitution like an inconvenience isn’t how you protect a country - it’s how you dismantle it.
After nearly a decade of Donald Trump dominating America’s frontal lobe, most of us have developed the survival skill of rolling our eyes and moving on. Ten years of Trump noise will do that to a body. We’ve watched reality TV bleed straight into the Oval Office until the lines blurred—and everyone’s half-sedated, doom-scrolling through…
President Donald Trump is now using the federal government to go after people who hurt his feelings. That’s not my hot take — it’s just what’s happening. On April 9th, he ordered formal investigations into two former officials, Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. Not because they broke the law — but because they broke ranks, and committed…
What if the collapse of a democracy doesn’t come with sirens or boots in the street, but with slogans, executive orders, and billionaires in boardrooms? A quiet drift toward something unrecognizable: a system where mythology replaces accountability, unelected tech moguls shape public policy, and fear becomes the new filter for free speech. The warning signs are easy to ignore—until the ground gives way.
The election might be over, but the fight is just beginning. When everything feels uncertain, it’s time to regroup, face hard truths, and decide what comes next—because the future is unwritten, and we’re the ones holding the pen.
74 million people voted for Donald Trump. Writing them all off as irredeemable bigots risks deepening divides and repeating these outcomes in future elections. Instead of impulsively dismissing them as sexist or stupid, we should listen to what they say about the frustrations driving their choices. Understanding their grievances isn’t excusing hatred—it’s a crucial step toward bridging divides and protecting democracy.
Few people in America’s modern history played as integral of a role in the Republican politics that culminated in the election of Donald Trump as did the old guard televangelist and former GOP presidential candidate Pat Robertson.

This last election, as a New Yorker, I knew that my vote had already
been cast. I was able to smugly write in my all-time favorite (very
dead) journalist, “Hunter S Thompson.” I know it’s been said a million
times before, but in these midterms, there is just too much at stake for me
to “sit it out.” As a friend of a friend most eloquently stated,
“sometimes the lesser of two evils is way less evil.”
If you had asked me two years ago if I thought America was stupid enough to elect the most vile, narcissistic, crude, bumbling, incoherent fool who ever stumbled into office, I would have said no way. Oh, how I long for those days when I still believed America was only the partially dim-witted uncle I…
For years, my friends and I have been discussing how great it would be if a true political outsider, not beholden to the entrenched political norm, would somehow find a way to circumvent the establishment and come to power. Well, that just happened. Fuck…
