I have plunged into the dark, icy depths of Lake America and returned with a column about MAGA's obsession with names
MAGA’s Big, Beautiful Quest to Rename the Entire World
The Lake America story is spectacularly dumb. It’s also spectacularly important.

For all its gloss and elitist governance, football will not bend to the will of a president so eager to demonise and exclude

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida.
And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024).
That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

Many of the most polluting flights take off or land in the USA, while more efficient flights are common in countries like Spain, Brazil, and India.
What can we learn from the countries that are flying better? Take a look, it's really pretty simple...

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.
