(SATIRE WARNING — Though We Understand If You Can't Tell Anymore) WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stunning display of strategic vision, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced this week that the United States has successfully completed Phase One of Operation Epic Fury — defined, retroactively, as the phase in which everything gets much worse before the administration quietly reframes the mission as wanting things to go back to the way they were before the mission started. "We have a

How Donald Trump Is Dismantling NATO One Tantrum at a Time — and Why the Constitution Has Something to Say About It NATO Source: www.carthage.edu "The first and only time Article 5 has ever been invoked in NATO's seventy-seven year history was for the United States of America.

War, Profit, and the Men Getting Rich from Iran By Ash A. Milton • April 2026 Follow the Money On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes against Iran — without a declaration of war, without a vote of Congress, and without a stated end date. The man who built his political brand on ending “endless wars” started one. And within days, the people closest to him started cashing in. This is not speculation. This is receipts. I. The Setup:

Women in Uniform From the earliest branch-specific harassment surveys to the landmark 1995 DoD study, women have fought—and largely won—the right to serve fully and safely. A defense secretary with his own sexual assault allegation is dismantling that progress, one directive at a time. I served in the Michigan Army National Guard from 1989 to 1993 and went active duty Army through 1996. Those years were formative—and not always in ways that were comfortable to name. The milit

She's everywhere right now. She's the woman in the comment section assuring everyone that she doesn't get offended by jokes. She's the podcast guest nodding along as the host explains why women are too emotional to lead. She's the influencer whose entire brand is telling other women they're doing femininity wrong. She's the "I'm not like other girls" girl — grown up, rebranded, and more media-savvy than ever. She's the Pick Me Woman. And she's not a new phenomenon. She's jus

Couresty Chat GPT It has been a little over a year since eight women were appointed to Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions in the Trump administration — more than any Republican presidency in history. At the time, we wrote about what that headline obscured. We introduced the concept of the glass cliff: the documented phenomenon in which women are disproportionately elevated to leadership positions during periods of crisis, handed authority over institutions already in free fa

How the institution the world calls romantic was built, brick by brick, on land, labor, lineage, and leverage. Pick up any bridal magazine, watch any romantic comedy, or scroll through a weekend's worth of proposal videos, and you will find the same story retold endlessly: two people "fall in love," and because they are in love, they marry. It feels as natural as gravity. It also happens to be almost entirely a product of the last two hundred years — and even then, only in ce

Something significant is happening at the intersection of artificial intelligence, national security, and your personal privacy — and most people haven't heard about it. Over the past several weeks, a very public battle between AI companies, the Pentagon, and Congress has pulled back the curtain on a surveillance infrastructure that touches every American. Understanding it matters, because the decisions being made right now will define the boundaries of government power for a

The United States standing alone against a women's rights resolution at the UN was not a surprise. It was the logical conclusion of a systematic, documented effort to roll back women's equality — in the military, in the workplace, at the ballot box, and now on the world stage.

There is a concept in organizational psychology that most people have never heard of — but once you understand it, you begin to see it everywhere. It is called the glass cliff . The Glass Cliff You are likely familiar with the glass ceiling: the invisible but durable barrier that has historically blocked women and minorities from reaching the upper echelons of leadership. The glass cliff takes that metaphor one step further. It describes the phenomenon in which women — and ot

Hockey's Olympic moment, a presidential phone call, decades of institutional impunity — and a window of grace that is closing fast.
