The Collapse of the Federal State: Is Trump running the federal government like a reality show?

The Collapse of the Federal State: Is Trump running the federal government like a reality show?

Today, our nation is going through a time of institutional upheaval in which every fissure becomes a great chasm. The federal budget impasse has gone beyond a simple legislative procedure; it heralds the potential collapse of the federal state—an internal fragmentation that jeopardizes our republican system. Nearly four million federal civil servants, including two million military personnel, are facing a salary freeze. Each day of paralysis leads to widespread economic turmoil, resulting in overdue rent, defaulted bank loans, and strained families. Meanwhile, the state, hitherto a guarantee of social and economic stability, is becoming a source of insecurity itself. The…

Behind the Veil of Ceasefire: Decoding Trump’s Betrayal of Palestinian Rights

Behind the Veil of Ceasefire: Decoding Trump’s Betrayal of Palestinian Rights

Only a cursory look at Trump's Gaza plan, revealed during his summit with the Israeli Prime Minister at the White House on Monday, indicates that the Israelis have not yet achieved their military objectives after more than two years of bloodshed and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. In fact, both Trump and Netanyahu seek to seize control of Gaza and totally eradicate Hamas under the guise of "ceasefire". Following the anticipated meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, characterised as "efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza", both parties made remarks literally irrelevant to ceasefire or peace initiatives. Trump's outlined proposal stipulates the release…

America on the Brink: Trump & The Federal Budget, a Political Weapon in a Failing System

America on the Brink: Trump & The Federal Budget, a Political Weapon in a Failing System

As the United States braces for an impending federal shutdown—the most grave, aberrational, and calamitous in nearly a decade—the question is no longer simply whether the government will cease functioning, but rather how long it will cohere before its institutions collapse under the weight of political paralysis and acrimony. The federal budget, once envisaged as an instrument of administrative continuity and fiscal equilibrium, is now being wielded as a cudgel of antagonism, coercion, extortion, and duplicity. And behind this machination stands a familiar figure—Donald Trump, whose influence, far from ebbing, continues to aggrandize itself, redefining institutional balances in favor of…

A Catastrophe: Exposing the Israeli-American Failure in the Attack on Iran

A Catastrophe: Exposing the Israeli-American Failure in the Attack on Iran

Mostly propagated by the Trump administration, the claim that the Israeli attack on Iran was a decisive operation that neutralised the country's nuclear programme is a naive and simplistic narrative. It obscures the strategic debacle faced by Israel and the US. While Israel succeeded in assassinating some Iranian military and scientific officials, which many consider a vivid illustration of state-sponsored terrorism, the Iranian response was swift and structured. Intelligence sources indicate that crucial nuclear facilities, particularly the Fordow enrichment site, were in fact relocated even before the strikes began, rendering the assault largely symbolic, showing Iranians' remarkable adaptability in the…

Trump’s Tax Cuts: Policies That Favor That 1% Over Rest of Us

Trump’s Tax Cuts: Policies That Favor That 1% Over Rest of Us

President Trump has proposed a novel idea for "wealthy patriots"—positing that wealth can stimulate economic growth. He says these people will protect the country's finances, but this is not true. But behind this economic facade is a strange doctrine that doesn't fix problems but worsens them, leaving communities full of despair. Although his ideas suggest prosperity, the reality remains a perilous cycle of socio-economic decline. Trump shows his populist power by protecting the rich from responsibilities and framing dissent as a threat to national loyalty. These kinds of actions seem ridiculous and go against the principles of democracy. They are…
