George Clooney isn’t a hero—he’s a megaphone. And if he’s finally using it to call out media pre-compliance and corporate cowardice, fine: truce. But Democrats also need to stop outsourcing strategy to vibes and podcast groupthink.

Merry Christmas 🎄 JD Vance says Americans don’t have to “apologize for being white anymore.” Cool story—except whiteness isn’t an ethnicity, it’s a rank, and the whole thing is classic DARVO grievance theater. I brought receipts (and seasoning).

Jasmine Crockett is getting hit from the right, the left, and the clueless middle — and she’s still the sharpest one in the room. Here’s why the smears won’t stick.

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 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:
