What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

🎄🧑🏽‍🎄 Santa's magical flying sleigh MUST have been pulled by a crew of female reindeer, according to science.
But we assumed that they were male, to the point that we named one Rudolph!
Where does this assumption come from and what does it say about us?

By some estimates, Ukrainian weapons producers are running at just 30% capacity. The army is their only customer, limiting their growth.

The Danish model is one way to address the issue. We've got a story on how it helps grow Ukraine's weapons production industry:
