  • Civil Wrongs — How Trump is Trampling Your Rights

    America. Land of the free, home of the brave… unless you’re a protester, a journalist, an immigrant, a whistleblower, or someone who thought the Constitution was more than just a napkin sketch at a Federalist Society happy hour.

  • Republicans Are Wrong About Everything

    Let’s get this out of the way: Abraham Lincoln doesn’t count. He wouldn’t be allowed within 500 feet of today’s Republican National Convention unless he promised to shave the beard, burn the Emancipation Proclamation, and swear fealty to a golden statue of a twice-impeached, criminally convicted, carnival barker. The modern GOP? It’s been on a…

  • Medicare Fraud – The Real Welfare Queens

    You’ve heard the story a thousand times: the mythical “welfare queen” — some made-up caricature of a poor person living large on government benefits. Ronald Reagan practically turned her into a bedtime monster for conservatives. But while the GOP fixates on the supposed $80 someone might misuse on an EBT card, real fraud is happening…

  • The Social Security Scam – How the Rich Are Robbing You Blind (Again)

    What Social Security Really Is Let’s get one thing straight: Social Security is not welfare. It’s not a “handout.” It’s money you earned. Every paycheck, every week, you contributed to it. It’s a contract between generations—an agreement that says if you work hard and contribute, you won’t be left to starve in old age or…

  • The Deregulation Delusion — Safety Theater

    Let’s continue to talk about safety — that elusive little concept Republicans like to slap on every fearmongering campaign ad. They’ll tell you they’re the party of law and order, the protectors of the homeland, the guardians of your future. Except, under Trump 2.0 and his tech-bro-led deregulation cult (aka DOG-E — Deconstruct Our Government:…

  • Unsafe at Any Speed — Welcome to Trump 2.0

    And now a “Public Safety” announcement — that magical buzzword every politician loves to toss around like glitter at a parade. “We’re going to keep Americans safe,” they say. “Strong borders, strong economy, strong nation.” Sounds great, right? Except here’s the problem: under Trump 2.0 and his merry band of deregulation junkies — the DOG-E…

  • Trump’s Pardons: A Badge of Loyalty, A Threat to Justice

    Under Donald Trump, the power of presidential pardons became something far from its intended purpose. A tool of mercy? Sure. But under Trump, it was wielded like a political weapon—rewarding loyalty and, in some cases, justifying violence. It wasn’t just the usual suspects: corporate crooks and white-collar criminals. Trump’s clemency spree extended to a who’s…

  • The War on Woke (AKA Reading, Empathy & Facts)

    There’s a new boogeyman in town, and its name is “woke.” According to right-wing media, being woke is the root of all our problems — from gas prices to weather patterns to why your microwave won’t stop blinking 12:00. But let’s get one thing straight: “woke” didn’t start as a slur. It didn’t come from…

  • The Myth of the Silent Majority

    Spoiler: They’re not silent, and they’re definitely not the majority. Let’s clear something up right now: the so-called “Silent Majority” isn’t silent, and it sure as hell isn’t a majority. If anything, it’s a loud, angry minority that never shuts up — especially when they’re wrong — and has somehow convinced the rest of the…

  • Why We Love Regulations (And You Should Too)

    Regulations — the favorite punching bag of every guy with a yacht, a tax shelter, and a Twitter account where he posts photos of himself holding a sink. Conservatives talk about “cutting red tape” like it’s a noble crusade. But let’s be clear: that “red tape” is the thing keeping your drinking water from giving…

  • You Can’t Fix Stupid

    There’s a saying that’s been floating around for years — maybe you’ve heard it: “You can’t fix stupid.” Well, after the Trump era, we can confirm that not only can’t you fix it — you also can’t reason with it, debate it, or even Google it out of someone’s brain. My father once joked, “I’ve…
