Texas has crushed every statewide Democratic bid for decades — until now. Jasmine Crockett might just break the pattern. This isn’t hype. It’s strategy, soul, and a shot at seismic change. Read more 👇

Trump calling his MRI “preventative” set off every alarm in my body.

For people like me who’ve had MRIs for 20 years, there’s nothing routine about them — they tell you if your life is about to change.

I wrote about the politics, psychology, and lived experience behind the lie:
There’s No Such Thing as a Preventative MRI — but There’s Definitely Such a Thing as Political Bullshit
Since 2005, I’ve had at least one MRI every single year of my adult life. I know MRIs the way other people know Spotify playlists or the McDonald’s menu.

Trump’s racist attack on Ilhan Omar had me thinking about something this country desperately needs to revive: shame.

I wrote about Trump, Musk, voter apathy, moral disengagement — and why shame might be the only path back to political sanity.

Megyn Kelly Goes There on Epstein
You’d think a woman who publicly went through years of harassment from Donald Trump would have learned something about misogyny.

Megyn Kelly once said she was a victim of misogyny — now she’s defending pedophilia and cashing out like it’s business as usual. My latest piece cuts through the bigotry, grievance-porn and brand reinvention to ask: was this a slip, or the final pivot? Read more:

Smart journalists deserve better than a system built to elevate spin and call it balance.

Charlamagne’s “just reopen the government” take sounds caring—until you realize it’s coming from someone who’ll never miss a paycheck. Mehdi Hasan tried to teach him, but privilege doesn’t study.
