Politics look nothing like it used to. President Donald Trump, in an interview talking about the breached ceasefire between Israel and Iran, dropped an f-bomb on live television. On the same day, Vice President, J.D. Vance, raised his middle finger during a speech at a Republican Party dinner in Ohio....
In 2025, American society continues to grapple with the consequences of framing fatness as a medical crisis — a narrative that has seeped beyond clinics and into the cultural bloodstream. As political leaders double down on obesity as a national emergency or an “obesity epidemic to be specific, sociologists and...
One common critique of the Democratic Party is its chronic inability to present as a united front. Unlike Republicans, who have successfully rallied behind Donald Trump, Democrats struggle to back just one single candidate.

Recently, a Republican house bill has been passed and approved, which will largely operate to further President Donald Trump’s ambitions, which largely entails tax changes as well as more monetary investment into military and anti-immigration efforts.

Candidates speak of their humble origins, wear denim to county fairs, and roll out personal anecdotes as campaign soundbites — but beneath the charm offensive lies a sobering question: Do politicians lose their roots in the name of...
Zohran Mamdani, a current New York State Assemblymember, is running for New York City mayor as a Democrat. With the primary election only four days away, he is quickly closing the gap on front-runner Andrew Cuomo. Earlier this month, Mamdani released a political ad that looks a little different than...
