Republican DOGE treated aid to the poor as waste while Musk, Trump’s family, and DOGE insiders benefited from billions in government largesse. From USAID cuts to sweetheart contracts, the hypocrisy is staggering. iPINIONS calls for a Democratic DOGE to expose the profiteers, recover ill-gotten gains, and restore aid to the poor.

In 2019, Trump told Ilhan Omar to go back where she came from. In 2026, federal agents raided her home to make sure she finally got his message. Read my full take on Substack: https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/trump-order-raid-of-ilhan-omars-home Read more.
John Roberts doesn’t rant like MAGA. He does something more consequential. Behind the robes and institutionalist pose lies a jurisprudence that has steadily expanded presidential power, weakened democratic guardrails, and left Trump free to act first while everyone else litigates the wreckage. iPINIONS argues that the conjurer may recoil at the monster, but he helped… Read more.
Republicans hauled Jack Smith before Congress to punish him for prosecuting Trump. iPINIONS argues the farce says less about Smith than about a party still willing to bend law, truth, and institutional power around one man.

A Russian oligarch who barely knew Don Jr. reportedly spent hundreds of thousands bankrolling his lavish Bahamas wedding.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, America still tolls the bells, reads the names, and performs the same ritual of national grief. But remembrance without reckoning has become theater. From the Taliban’s return to Trump’s latest 9/11 self-mythologizing, iPINIONS suggests that the greater tribute to the dead would be learning from the folly committed in their name.… Read more.
Hakeem Jeffries is catching hell for meeting Jared Kushner. But iPINIONS urges Democrats confusing political contact with ideological betrayal to remember Bill Clinton’s Sister Souljah moment.

Trump has turned breaking norms and laws into a governing method. Act first, create the irreversible fact, then dare Congress or the courts to put Humpty Dumpty back together. iPINIONS notes that, from his billion-dollar ballroom-cum-bunker and illegal visa ban to tariffs, war powers, and presidential immunity, Trump keeps discovering that even an eventual court… Read more.
Darline Graham’s spectacular national-security flub drew boos and ridicule. But in fairness to Graham, she admitted what Donald Trump never will. She knows what she doesn’t know. But iPINIONS argues that her humiliation also exposes a larger Trump pathology. The dumber and more sycophantic the people around him, the smarter and stronger he feels. Read… Read more.
Trump no longer lies merely to escape embarrassment.
