A Mea Culpa or Another Trump Hit Piece?
This past Friday, I challenged myself to sit through MSNBC's latest documentary, produced by Rachel Maddow, featuring former GOP provocateur Lev Parnas. My initial concern was that simply tuning into the network might subject me to intellectual atrophy, a condition seemingly afflicting Maddow's and Joy Reid's followers. But, much to my surprise, I emerged unscathed. What I endured, however, was two hours of what can best be described as an extended anti-Trump campaign ad—an emotive portrayal of a man eager to paint himself as both the victim and penitent.

Bigger Government Spending, Bigger Problems: An Analysis of the Federal Deficit
In fiscal year 2024 the United States will produce a $1.9 trillion federal deficit, an issue that continues to stir debate among economists and policymakers alike. According to economic analyst Nancy Lazar of Piper Sandler, this deficit is primarily driven by entitlement programs and interest payments, which are now significantly wider than trend and are having ripple effects across the economy.

Candidates Survive Contentious Debate
The much-anticipated tilt between the former president and vice president looking to take the reins of the world's most powerful nation didn't lead to the demise of either candidate—neither side landed a knockout blow—and probably won't move the needle much with the undecided voters so crucial come November 5.
The Congressional Crisis of Legislative Dysfunction
As Congress prepares to reconvene this week, the specter of yet another Continuing Resolution (CR) looms large over Capitol Hill. This frequent reliance on CRs is emblematic of a deeper, systemic issue in the U.S. government: legislative dysfunction and congressional gridlock. Continuing Resolutions, once considered emergency stopgap measures to keep the government funded in the absence of a formal budget, have now become the rule rather than the exception. Their repeated use signals not only the inability of lawmakers to fulfill their constitutional duties but also a significant departure from the norms of governance.
