A clear majority of Americans are opposed to the US President's army parade, and his handling of immigration and the economy
Gentlemen, I want answers. Our quarterly earnings are in the garbage, and I expect one of you overpaid three-martini-lunch layabouts to have a good explanation why my family’s home-decor company is bleeding money like a physician of high standing using proper, modern medical techniques against female mental illness?
So, what’s to be? Can anyone in this boardroom tell me why sales of our signature terrifying yellow wallpaper are down?
Edwards, I’m looking at you. I didn’t put you in charge of the Smouldering, Sulphuric Interior Design department for you to try to pass the buck on this one.
For 133 years, our iconically sprawling, flamboyant yellow wallpaper design has defined an entire company. My great-grandfather started this business with nothing more than a dream, unquestioned male decision-making, and an inheritance that he took the burden of handling for my great-grandmother, who was… unwell.
And now, for some unknown reason, people don’t want to buy our wallpaper? Are you all claiming that the public no longer has an interest in unclean yellows? Have dull yet lurid oranges fallen out of fashion?
Thanks to small-dollar donors and a public election fund, New York City’s mayoral race is actually competitive.
This week’s deportation raids and plane crash followed the Republican administration’s moves to change the government’s focus.

Thanks to our current misbegotten model of manhood, we are once again arguing about this moral question: Should former Cincinnati Reds player and manager Pete Rose be inducted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame? In a sane time, the proper answer would be: Are you kidding? Maybe many of you reading this couldn’t care less. Unfortunately, you probably should care because the real question in these chaotic times of ours is: What does the Hall of Fame stand for? In the same way, you might now wonder what America stands for and whether, in our moment, Pete Rose — bully, liar, cheat, sexual predator, and fan-favorite superstar athlete — has, in fact, become a sports surrogate for Donald Trump.

Look, I get it. I’ve been in this game a long time, okay? I managed political campaigns on both sides of the aisle, and very nearly won some of them. I get paid more than the combined salaries of an entire elementary school’s faculty to write a weekly diary entry for a nationally syndicated newspaper with minimal AI input. I’ve been on all the major nightly roundtable shows. One time I even found myself smoking cigars with Thomas Friedman, Tom Nichols, and the Krassenstein brothers—but that’s beside the point.
Amid the fear, chaos, and violence playing out on the streets, the protections promised by neoliberalism are nowhere to be found.
Yesterday’s long-awaited Spending Review matched up to Labour’s many leaks and previews over the last few weeks. There were significant increases in health and military spending and some much needed money for housing and big infrastructure projects. But these are matched to further cuts in critical departments like agriculture and the environment, and the money […]
As unrest spreads, I think it’s worth looking at the weaknesses of American police forces in particular. Most of these vulnerabilities also apply to the National Guard.
Non-violent protest has been the dogma, especially on the center-left, for generations now. It wasn’t always thus: old time unions fought pitched battles with police and in one case coal miners fought the military straight up. Blowing up buildings was not verboten, nor was assassination. The history of America is not what pansy-moderns think it is, and the same is true of Britain and Canada and so on. Our forbears did not think that letting the state beat you, shoot you, torture you, imprison you and kill you without fighting back was either virtuous or, in many cases, smart.

You may have viewed Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) offering a mock apology for dismissing a constituent’s complaint that the Medicaid cuts she endorses will cause people to die with the flippant remark, “We are all going to die.” She tied her defense of her callousness to Christianity, inviting all who worried about death to convert […]
