Hello Dear Readers, Grab your popcorn. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize went not to Trump—shockingly—but to María Corina Machado, a Venezuelan opposition leader, for her “tireless work promoting democratic rights … and her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” That’s right, folks:
Dear Trumper, Well, bless your heart for believing in fairy tales — especially the one where Donald Trump rides in on a golden escalator to save America with a Bible in one hand and a cheeseburger in the other. Now, just a small question — and I promise it won’t hurt
That’s an interesting question — there are arguments that some of Trump’s supporters make for why he might deserve a Nobel Peace Prize (or at least be considered). It’s also important to note that many critics strongly disagree. Below I’ll lay out both the main arguments in
When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? Or woke up without an alarm and let the day unfold without a plan? If your answer starts with “I think it was…” then it’s time to rediscover that beautiful, rare species called fun. We get so tangled

We live in a world where our first instinct, when faced with a question, is to “Google it.” That means a handful of powerful tech companies shape not only what we know but also how we think about political leaders. And here’s the problem: the results we see aren’
I think about now is when we are supposed to be uprising. What the hell are we doing? What is the line that Trump crosses where we say no more? He has already crossed every legal, ethical and moral line. Project 2025 is now 50 percent done. And yet we
If you listen to the rhetoric today, you’d think evangelicals have always cared about abortion. It’s portrayed as a timeless, unshakable, straight-from-the-Bible stance—as obvious as “thou shalt not kill” or “thou shalt not vote Democrat.” But the truth is stranger, and frankly, darker.
