We Need to Talk for a Minute About Why it Feels a Lot Like the End of the World, Buckle Up — “Is it just me or…are the vibes out there really weird these days?” It was my friendly barista. I go to the little cafe with Snowy every day, a little haven of civilization. You can buy handmade ceramics and finely made little pastries and all kinds of interesting and fun…

The President Who Wanted to Lead a Coup and Overthrow a Democracy — Thanks to the January 6th Committee’s tireless, laser-focused work, we’re beginning to have a clearer picture of what actually went on — from the inside — that fateful day. Its latest witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, an executive assistant to Trump’s Chief of Staff, delivered bombshell after bombshell in her testimony yesterday…

If only walls could talk — In a series of rants posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, the former president complained that the left couldn’t “recognize a modern art masterpiece if they walked into it”. He was referring to reports that he was known for demonstrating his displeasure by picking up plates of food…

Several of us had logged on early for our weekly Zoom get-together and the topic at hand turned to student loan debt.

They had her testify live on TV for maximum effect. I missed the live testimony, but when I read about what she said, my immediate reaction was: “Are you…

This essay is an APB desperately seeking Democratic leaders who can step up and at least pretend to passionately fight back against the GOP. The bar is very low. Wanted are Democrats who can read the room, match the people’s righteous rage, lead with conviction and unflinching resolve, and are…

Last week, in a stunning 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court voted to do something it rarely (if ever) does: take away rights, instead of granting them. Roe vs. Wade was overturned and, just like that, a fundamental element of reproductive care was no longer guaranteed as a right. America’s political…

We only have poor choices. — It’s perfect. I’m not sure what else to say about a president trying to choke the head of his own secret service and commandeer his vehicle while shouting, “I’m the fucking president!” I’m not shocked he knew protestors were showing up to his rally-turned-riot with assault weapons. “They’re not here…
