SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This isn’t a recap. It’s a reckoning. As 2025 closes, this episode takes a clear look at what actually happened and why it felt different from just another rough year. This wasn’t chaos or confusion or bad luck. It was a pattern. Power exercised openly. Norms pushed until they bent. Damage done in plain sight while people were told it was normal. There were no dramatic takeovers or emergency sirens. Just policy choices. Court rulings. Talking points. And a ste...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This episode talks about two important stories happening right now. One centers on housing and promises that are being sold as reform. The other revolves around documents that keep surfacing at the most convenient moments. Together they reveal a system that survives by delaying accountability. I break down what’s being claimed about housing affordability and what’s quietly left out of the conversation. The language sounds ambitious, but the substance underneath feel...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This is not the usual Wednesday WTF episode. With Christmas Eve and Christmas Day landing right in the middle of the week, this episode takes a different approach.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this episode I focus on a major decision involving offshore wind projects already under construction along the East Coast and why the sudden halt has set off alarm bells well beyond the energy world.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this episode of A World Gone Mad, I cover three separate developments that together paint a disturbing picture of where power, accountability, and public institutions are heading. I begin with the Kennedy Center. A national cultural institution created as a memorial to President John F Kennedy has become the focus of a sudden and controversial shift. What’s happening raises serious questions about ownership, legacy, and whether anything public is still treated as...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW On this WTF Wednesday episode of A World Gone Mad, I take a hard look at a decision in Congress that is about to hit millions of people where it hurts most. This is not an accident and it is not bad timing. Washington knew this healthcare deadline was coming and leadership chose to let it happen anyway. When premiums rise and coverage becomes harder to afford, that outcome will be the result of a deliberate choice. I walk through a House fight over ACA healthc...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this Monday Fallout, I talk about a violent double murder that should have stopped this country in its tracks. Two people were killed in their own home, and no matter who they were or what they believed, this is the kind of moment where basic humanity should take over. I focus on the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Reiner, not as public names or voices of advocacy, but as a writer and director and his creative partner whose lives ended in brutality.&nb...

The discussion then moves to Congress and the ongoing fight over healthcare, including negotiations and positioning that could have real cons...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This WTF Wednesday isn’t just a rant. It’s a full autopsy on why basic competence has collapsed in America. I’m talking about the simplest tasks. Calling a pharmacy. Scheduling a doctor. Upgrading a phone. Everything that should take minutes now takes hours. And for millions of us, it feels like the entire country forgot how to function. Everywhere you turn there’s another problem waiting for you. You try to check a prescription and the system’s down. You try ...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW The Supreme Court just sent one of the clearest signals yet about how far it may be willing to expand presidential power. The tone of today’s arguments should alarm anyone who still believes in real checks and balances. Independent agencies that were designed to stand outside political pressure suddenly find themselves on the edge of a major shift. The implications reach far beyond one presidency and straight into the structure of American government. Congress is al...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW The week ends with a stack of headlines you almost have to read twice to believe. The Supreme Court has stepped directly into a constitutional fight that could reshape the country and the political world is holding its breath.

Congress forced the release of long sealed records and a federal judge agreed to open the door. These documen...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This episode opens with the Trump administration pushing a new round of immigration crackdowns, and the atmosphere around it is already tense. DHS and ICE are moving with a level of force that immediately raises questions about what they are planning and how far they intend to go.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This WTF Wednesday detonates with Georgia’s stunning decision in the Trump election interference saga. The shock hits instantly and the implications for American justice are impossible to ignore. The pressure around Trump is reaching a new level as his behavior, reactions, stamina, and public moments grow stranger and more unpredictable. Something is shifting and the country can feel it and see it. Trump’s escalating attacks on reporters reveal a deeper story hiding...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW James Comey and Letitia James get pulled straight back into the national spotlight as the courts make a ruling on the indictments brought against them, raising serious questions about how their cases were launched and who was put in the driver’s seat. The choices behind those decisions say a lot about the motives powering the legal chaos. That chaos circles right back to Donald Trump, because the people he elevates and the authority he hands out shape the enti...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW Something big was supposed to happen this week. Leaders promised it. Headlines pushed it. Supporters waited for the moment the truth would finally drop. Instead the country watched the entire build up collapse into silence and excuses. The episode opens with a look at the distance between what powerful people say and what they actually deliver. Cameras roll. Statements fly. The public braces for impact. Then the moment arrives and absolutely nothing mate...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This episode opens with the strange tension around the Epstein files. They have finally reached the point the country never thought would come and they are one signature away from the public finally seeing what has been whispered about for years. The pressure sitting on that desk is almost louder than anything being said on camera. That pressure spills directly into the Justice Department where silence is becoming its own message. When Washington suddenly agre...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW I open this episode by going straight at the new form of shrinkflation sweeping across the country. This is not the quiet trick from years ago. This is bold and shameless and companies do not care if you notice. They dress it up with cute labels and marketing fluff and expect you to treat it like an upgrade. I walk right into this new version and break down exactly how it is being sold to you. From there I move into Donald Trump’s sudden offer of a two thousand doll...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW Something felt different the last forty eight hours. You can sense it when Trump is unraveling, but this time the energy around him is sharper, louder, and more chaotic than anything I have seen in a long while. It is like watching a storm forming in real time. The push to release the Epstein files lit the fuse. I have never seen Trump react this fast or this aggressively to something he keeps insisting is nothing. His behavior tells a very different story and the t...
