Stop Debating the Department of Education. Start Fixing It. Every few years, someone from the far right calls for abolishing the Department of Education. It’s a flashy talking point, and in the MAGA era, it’s become gospel. Fueled by culture war outrage, COVID-era frustrations, and a warped sense of what “parental rights” means, the Department is now framed as the enemy. But let’s be real: the Department of Education isn’t the enemy—it’s just broken. And New Millennials aren’t here to destroy it. We’re here to rebuild it better. Smarter. Leaner. More…
DOGE Isn’t Reform. It’s Controlled Demolition. When the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was introduced under Trump’s new administration, it came dressed in Silicon Valley buzzwords and government-hating applause. Spearheaded by Elon Musk and managed day-to-day by Amy Gleason, DOGE claims to be America’s answer to bloated bureaucracy. But beneath the sleek branding is something far more reckless: a rushed gutting of our federal systems with zero accountability and even less strategy. At first glance, the idea sounds noble.

When Leadership Looks Like a Reality Show As Trump’s second-term cabinet forms, one thing is clear: competence was not the top qualification. It’s a mix of loyalists, right-wing firebrands, and personalities better suited for cable news than national leadership. From Robert F.

But this isn’t just a personnel problem, it’s a governance crisis. Kennedy at the FDA: Anti-Vax Meets Bureaucracy RFK Jr.’s appointment to…
From the beginning of his presidency—perhaps even during his candidacy—it was clear that Donald J. Trump viewed negotiations involving Ukraine through the lens of Russian interests and propaganda. Once again, “Russia, Russia, Russia”—not as a baseless accusation, but as an undeniable reality. Just as all roads once led to Rome, all great disinformation campaigns originate from Moscow. What happened on February 28, 2025, in the Oval Office between Donald J. Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky was nothing short of an absolute disgrace. It exposed the total incompetence…
The internet has been both a gift and a curse since its inception. The gift lies in the vast amount of information we can share—we can communicate instantly, see events unfold across the world in real-time, and engage with people over long distances. However, the curse is just as apparent: the internet provides a home for haters and conspiracy theorists who would otherwise be minimized in society. This dark side has infiltrated sports talk, allowing negativity to dominate the conversation. Figures like Stephen A. Smith, among others, have led this shift, constantly glorifying the past through nostalgia and…
