This week, we unpack the government shutdown’s real-world fallout, the latest culture-war broadsides from the White House, and fresh signs of alignment with Project 2025. We also dig into claims of targeted funding cuts to “blue” states, a headline-grabbing Argentina lifeline framed as a “bailout,” and a new U.S. strike on a Venezuelan vessel. It’s a fast, sourced tour through politics, policy, and power—minus the fluff.
