Bipartisanship sounds nice – like a warm hug between red and blue. But really, it’s just a shiny distraction. A way to water down anything bold until it’s a puddle of nothing. History backs this up. From the Compromise of 1850 to Obamacare, “compromise” just means the status quo wins.

Voter suppression’s ditched the poll tax for a scalpel—gerrymandering twists districts into serpents, digital lies flood your feed, and the Voting Rights Act’s a gutted relic since Shelby (2013). It’s not random; it targets minorities, youth, the poor. History’s remix is slicker, but the game’s the same.

Elon Musk – billionaire rocket man and champion tax dodger – now leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). His mission?

Trump’s “no tax on overtime” proposal isn’t just ironic after canceling Obama’s overtime expansion – it’s a masterclass in political misdirection. While 8.2 million workers lost overtime eligibility under Trump’s rollback, costing them $1.8 billion annually, his tax break only benefits those already receiving overtime while ignoring the millions he left behind.

For generations, the United States has been the world’s self-appointed hall monitor. It has spent trillions of dollars. Military bases have been scattered like confetti. The Pentagon counts 750 in 80 countries, all to keep the playground bullies in line. Why? To stand against aggressors who think “might makes right” is a foreign policy. It’s not some noble crusade. It’s survival. Since World War II, we’ve given blood and sweat. We’ve spent about $30 trillion on defense since 2000 (thanks, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute).
