In today’s whirlwind of news, we’ve got everything from mysterious drones stalking New Jersey skies (seriously, who invited the robot paparazzi?) to BYD, the electric car underdog, lapping legacy automakers like they’re stuck in neutral. Meanwhile, layoffs in the U.S. are climbing faster than Elon Musk’s net worth—because apparently, you can’t spell “economic growth” without firing half the workforce. And just when you thought science couldn’t surprise us, researchers are wrapping medicine in silk, proving that even aspirin can get a luxury upgrade....

Buckle up, folks—today’s headlines are serving drama hotter than a midday sun in a climate-crisis summer. We’ve got Biden handing out clemencies like Oprah giving away cars (You’re free! And you’re free!), India cozying up to Russia in a $13 billion oil bromance, and GM finally pulling the plug on its robotaxi pipe dream. Meanwhile, the Middle East simmers, Haiti spirals into a witchcraft horror show, and Microsoft’s Bing thinks it’s the…...

Business/Finance: Jobs Report Apparently, the U.S. economy added 227,000 jobs in November, and the unemployment rate stayed at 4.2%. That’s right, the labor market is stronger than your Aunt Karen's opinions at Thanksgiving dinner. But don’t get too comfy, because the Fed might swoop in like your passive-aggressive ex and mess with interest rates. Oil Prices Go Brrrr Oil is up 1% because…...

Middle East Madness: “Bashar, We Hardly Knew Ye” So, breaking news, folks—Syrian rebels just sent Bashar al-Assad packing. That’s right, after 13 years of playing dictator-in-chief, Assad was overthrown, and now he’s gone so fast, even his own propaganda team is like, “Wait, where’d he go?” Apparently, he fled faster than your cousin does when it’s time to split the check…...

Hakeem Jeffries and the Art of Flipping the Unflippable

What a twist. Who would’ve thought the universe could be this upside down? Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats managed to win over Trump districts. Yes, Trump districts. The kind of places where a MA…

It’s not every day that the words “UnitedHealthcare CEO” and “vendetta assassination” share the same headline. Let me tell you something, folks: when corporate America starts looking like the plot of a third-rate mob movie, you know we’ve crossed into uncharted territory. This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill absurdity; this is next-level absurdity. This is a moment so bizarre, it makes you wonder if reality itself took a vacation and left the lunatics in charge of the asylum....

Every day in America feels like a new season of a reality show that nobody asked for. This week’s episode? Trump versus the Billionaire Boys Club. That’s right, we’ve got Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, and the rest of the Silicon Valley Avengers in one corner and Trump’s regulatory circus in the other. It’s like the Hunger Games, except instead of tributes, we’ve got trillionaires, and instead of arrows, they’re armed with stock options and lawyers.

Let’s unpack this mess. Trump is reportedly trying to crack down on the unchecked power of Big Tech. Yes, you heard that right—the guy who practically turned Twitter into his personal diary is now coming for the tech giants. It’s like Frankenstein turning on his monster, except this monster has Wi-Fi and a private jet.

Now, don’t get me wrong. Big Tech deserves a reckoning. These companies have the power of small countries, the ethics of a frat house, and the charm of a DMV clerk on their third double shift.

The latest news on Trump-era deportation policies makes me wonder if we’re all stuck in some alternate universe where logic has been traded for Monopoly money and outrage is the national pastime. Seriously, what’s the plan here? Round up everyone who didn’t handwrite the Constitution in cursive? Deportation as a spectacle has gotten so absurd that even Kafka would read this and say, This is too much....

The House Republicans and their narrow majority—a spectacle more precarious than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. With a slim 220-215 seat advantage, they're clinging to power like a cat on a greased pole. And just when you think it couldn't get more tenuous, members start dropping like flies to join the Trump administration, shrinking that majority faster than ice cream in July....

Not sure if you heard, but late yesterday France collapsed. Let me explain. France, a country that gave the world wine and cheese has an inability to keep its government standing for longer than a teenager's TikTok attention span. It’s not just falling apart. Oh no, it's doing it with panache. The French government doesn’t just collapse. It collapses…...

Well, it’s official. We’ve reached the point in society where a group calling themselves The Satanic Temple is offering after-school programs to elementary school kids. This is not a joke. We’re not talking about a shady email scam or a plotline from a rejected Netflix series. Nope. This is real life, where apparently the forces of good and evil decided to duke it out over finger paints and juice boxes....

Let’s dive into the latest episode of Congressional Dysfunction, starring Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is reportedly considering a bid for the powerful House Oversight Committee. Now, before you roll your eyes and clutch your pearls—because God forbid anyone under 40 have ambitions—let’s unpack what this means. Or, better yet, let’s unravel it like a roll of toilet paper after a bad burrito night....

In the grand theater of American politics, where logic takes a back seat to spectacle, President-elect Donald Trump has gifted us yet another head-scratcher. His nominee for Director of National Intelligence is none other than Tulsi Gabbard. You know, Tulsi. The former Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii who served in the House for eight years, left the Democratic Party in a blaze of frustration, and then decided to moonwalk straight into Trump’s inner circle....
