• Let’s Not Al Franken Graham Platner

    By Winston Wendell When things heat up in politics, it’s easy to forget there’s a real person behind every headline. I want to talk about why I think Graham Platner deserves a fair chance in this Senate race. From what I’ve seen, Graham Platner truly cares about Maine. He doesn’t just want a fancy title,…

  • The Unattainable Dream: How the Trump Administration’s Policies Have Crushed the American Dream

    by Winston Wendell Reading the latest report from the Roosevelt Institute, I can’t help but feel disheartened. The report lays out a grim reality. America is tumbling into economic turmoil, with most people too discouraged even to imagine life getting any better. This is what we’ve inherited from the Trump administration: a government that chipped…

  • How AI Is Changing American Politics

    by Winston Wendell I watched the Thomas Massie primary unfold with a growing sense of dread. Here was a sitting congressman, one who’d actually voted against Trump on occasion, finding himself on the receiving end of something entirely new in American politics. A pro-Trump super PAC dropped an AI-generated video depicting Massie in a fake,…

  • A Hole in the Ground where American History Once Stood

    by Winston Wendell I stood at the edge of the Ellipse this week, just staring at what used to be the East Wing of the White House.

  • Republican Senate Splinters Over Trump’s Ballroom Plans and $1.8 Billion Slush Fund

    by Winston Wendell President Trump expected his party to come together this week to pass his 1 billion dollar ballroom, even though he backed Ken Paxton instead of Senator John Cornyn. It seems that Cornyn, a long-time Republican, was highly favored by caucus members. Instead, he found himself at the center of a significant Republican…

  • The Corruption of the Presidency

    by Winston Wendell As I look at the current administration’s recent direction, something troubling stands out: the line between running the country and personal financial gain keeps getting harder to see. This isn’t just ordinary governing, it looks like President Tump is linking his decisions to his own investments. It’s hard to ignore the evidence.…

  • The Crisis of Legitimacy: Why Supreme Court Reform is a Democratic Necessity

    by Winston Wendell When I think about why this country even has a Supreme Court, the idea was always pretty simple: it was supposed to be shielded from political chaos, a steady hand making sure the Constitution actually means something for everyone. But look at the Court now. It’s hard to pretend it’s still neutral…

  • Trump’s America: Where Economic Pain Meets Presidential Indifference

    by Winston Wendell President Donald Trump yesterday brushed off questions about Americans struggling financially, telling reporters their problems aren’t even on his mind as he pushes his clash with Iran further. It’s a pretty shocking show of just how out of touch he seems with what regular people are feeling and honestly, it sums up…

  • April Inflation Rate Surpasses Predictions: Impacts on Households

    Increased costs to American households by Winston Wendell The today’s Consumer Price Index report makes it quite clear: April’s inflation rate climbed by 3.8% compared to the previous year, surpassing Wall Street’s 3.7% prediction. For American households already struggling with rising prices at the grocery store, these figures simply confirm their everyday experience that living…

  • The Idolatrous Trump: Spiritual Danger in Golden Adoration

    by Winston Wendell Christian’s, I’ve been following the news closely, and I can’t stay quiet about the recent golden statue of President Donald Trump, that people are calling “Don Colossus.” Some folks might just laugh it off as weird art or a spectacle, but for me—and for a lot of Christians—this is going somewhere dangerous.…
