The Fed's independence — built over a century — handed away via the most partisan central bank vote in Senate history. A World Cup field will be too hot for human bodies and FIFA scheduled the noon kickoffs anyway. A pastor lied about the science of human sexuality on camera and called it theology.

The Doomsday Book is real — pre-drafted orders authorizing martial law, press censorship, and civilian detention. Miles Taylor says Trump intends to use them. NSPM-7 names trans communities as pre-crime.
Pete Buttigieg spent 2026 in battleground states. 'Save me a seat,' he told Sharpton. A gay veteran may run — and the country making it hard might lose.
Matlovich's tombstone stands. Manford's eight words still move.
This work runs on reader support. Click our partners. Keep queer journalism alive when power most wants it silent.
