/

So often when Donald Trump is cornered, he manages to escape thanks to a simple tactic: He cries hoax. With his latest troubles—caused by his administration’s declaration that there’s nothing new to see or investigate regarding deceased pedophile and sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein—Trump is once again screaming “hoax.” Yet it is not quite doing the trick.

Where Is Obama? “I’m Out Here!” He Told Me. Watch the Interview.

/

Over the past few weeks, you might have noticed a renewed flare-up in a yearslong liberal freakout: Where is Barack Obama? That was the headline of a provocative essay in The Atlantic, which concluded that Obama had entered “the fierce lethargy of semi-retirement.” Cue the discourse: Articles, interviews, TikTok clapbacks, and everything in between. Everyone […]

/

To justify their brazen effort to redraw US House districts in Texas ahead of the 2026 midterms, state Republicans cited a Department of Justice letter alleging that four districts—all represented by Black or Latino Democrats—were “unconstitutional racial gerrymanders.” But on Tuesday, President Trump said the quiet part out loud, admitting that a “very simple redrawing” […]

Trump Reaches a Breaking Point Over Epstein Files

/

President Donald Trump seems unfamiliar with the Streisand effect, the phenomenon of inadvertently drawing more attention to an issue by trying to make it go away. The president on Wednesday unleashed another rant on Truth Social, claiming, without evidence, that Democrats are behind the uproar over the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Referring […]

“Never Again Means Never Again for Anyone”: An Interview With Sim Kern

/

Sim Kern never set out to become a face of anti-Zionist Judaism—the English teacher turned science fiction author and “BookTok”-er was just in the right place at the right time.

Republicans Decry Canada Wildfire Smoke After Passing “the Most Anti-Environment Bill”

The Real Conspiracy Behind the Texas Floods

David Sirota can be a hard one to pin down. He’s a former speechwriter for Bernie Sanders. A onetime radio host. A co-writer of the Oscar-nominated “Don’t Look Up,” a dark comedy about the looming threat of climate change. (Spoiler: Most people do not, in fact, look up.) Today, Sirota is the editor-in-chief and founder […]

She has repeatedly—and falsely—claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him. And she reportedly wanted to be Trump’s VP, claiming to the Guardian that her name was “on a […]
