Half the battle is admitting most of us think we’re the reasonable ones. Maybe the real fix is designing spaces where it’s ok to be wrong.

Possible? It’s likely a fact.

Trump’s new “Big, Beautiful” bill slashes over $1 trillion from Medicaid over the next decade, forcing 8–11 million people off coverage and squeezing rural hospitals—even with a $50 b relief fund. It’s a critical test of our nation’s healthcare values.

SCOTUS just handed every parent a veto over public school lessons. This isn’t about liberty—it’s about fragmentation. One parent objects to history, another to science. Public ed can’t survive as a patchwork of opt-outs. We’re losing the civic glue that holds us together.

I left Twitter for 6 months because it became a hostile MAGA echo chamber. Sadly, I’m finding BlueSky is becoming a mirror image—just on the other extreme. It’s hard to share nuanced or different views without being met with personal attacks. We can disagree without dehumanizing each other.

Freezing rent sounds nice—until it destroys property rights, freedom, and market incentives. It kills competition, discourages investment, and worsens the housing shortage. NYC needs more supply, not Soviet-style controls from City Hall.

I’m a lifelong Never Trumper—he’s done real damage, especially on immigration. But electing radicals like Zohran Mamdani isn’t the answer. We need normal people with real solutions. A mayor’s job is to run a city efficiently, not stage an ideological revolution.

Ok - but Zohran Mamdani is really horrible. Sorry.

We can loathe the Iranian regime—and still admit that Trump treats nuclear brinkmanship like a reality show cliffhanger. This isn’t art of the deal, it’s roulette with millions of lives.

Sadly, everything gets filtered through whether we like Trump. I’m a Never Trumper—we can debate Iran policy. But can we agree the current regime is brutal and should not have nuclear weapons or even the possibility of them? Let’s start there.

Social Security is mostly self-funded and doesn’t directly add to the deficit now—but future shortfalls could strain the federal budget. Reform debates are valid; let’s focus on facts, not blame. Honest dialogue beats partisan soundbites.

And just like that, America pulled off the legal equivalent of “new phone, who dis?”—9 states ghosted the Articles and boom, we had a Constitution. Revolutionary group chat rules.

This isn’t shocking—it’s basic. The Louisiana government knew all along, but chose populism over principle. No surprise here.

New U.S. policy requires student visa applicants to set all social media accounts to public. Refusal may count against them. The State is now judging young people’s ideas online—before they even arrive. Who decides what views disqualify a future student?

An America First president now faces his base’s deepest divide: strike Iran to stop nukes, or hold the line on staying out of foreign wars. MAGA’s internal war isn’t just about policy—it’s about what kind of power the U.S. should wield abroad.

SCOTUS ruled that states can ban gender-affirming care for minors, overriding decisions by families and doctors. The ruling shifts power away from parents and medical experts, placing it in the hands of legislatures. A pivotal moment in state control over personal health.

Ah yes, the old “we’re being invaded by… democracy” defense under 10 U.S.C. § 12406. Spoiler: this isn’t Red Dawn. It’s just Wednesday. Mobilizing the Guard like this isn’t law and order—it’s cosplay with consequences. Courts better move fast.
