May 26, 2026Trump's Iran War is an Epic Failure on All Fronts
Republican senators Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, and Roger Wicker initially called the deal a disaster and a surrender before reversing course. Former National Security Advisor John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and analysts from The Atlantic and The Bulwark all weighed in on what amounts to the worst U.S. strategic defeat since the Iraq War.
Robert Kagan's piece in The Atlantic argued that Trump's endgame was surrender, and that Iran is using the ceasefire to lock in Strait of Hormuz control by forcing nations including South Korea, Turkey, and India to normalize diplomatic and economic ties with Tehran. Russia and China benefit most.
Iran emerges stronger militarily and economically. Hamas and Hezbollah get refunded. Israel is left isolated. And the United States loses 20% of the world's energy supply to Iranian control.

Hawk sits down with Reed Galen, one of the founding members of the Lincoln Project, for a wide-ranging conversation about the Trump administration's $1.776 billion reparations fund for January 6th participants, and what it signals about a presidency that has consistently outpaced even the darkest imaginations of its critics.
Galen and Hawk break down the mechanics of the fund, how it is structured around a secret five-person commission appointed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanch, and how Trump's known appetite for financial self-dealing raises serious questions about where the money actually ends up. The conversation moves into Trump's polling numbers, now hovering around 37%, and what that floor means for the 2026 midterms.
The two examine the Democratic Party's structural failures, from the DNC autopsy that may never see the light of day, to Chuck Schumer's pattern of extracting nothing from Republican negotiations, to the rise of left populist candidates like Zohran Mamdani and the corporate establishment's coordinated effort to crush them before 2028.
Galen draws on his experience inside the 2004 Bush re-election campaign to explain how the MAGA base mirrors the Christian conservative movement that was underestimated for decades, and connects that history to why the Democratic Party keeps treating its own base as an inconvenience.
The conversation covers the Harris campaign's failure to counter the trans ad that aired nationally during college football, Thomas Massie and the Epstein files, Ken Paxton's endorsement by Trump over John Cornyn, voter suppression mechanics in Texas, the 2028 presidential race, Galen's new organization civicforum.org, and whether the entire American political system is even fixable from the inside.

May 19, 2026"Checkmate" is From a Persian Phrase Meaning "The King is Helpless"
Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz. They have access to 30 of their 33 missile launching sites along the Persian Gulf coastline. They have tens of thousands of drones, mobile missile launchers moved inland, and have already struck a Qatari natural gas facility that will take years to repair. The American military umbrella that once protected Gulf State energy infrastructure has been exposed as ineffective.
Hawk walks through Kagan's full argument, including what a post-American world order looks like when China and Russia emerge stronger, when Gulf States and European nations begin normalizing relations with Iran, and when America's weapons stockpiles are critically depleted after six weeks of nonstop bombing with no clear strategic objective from the start.
Fox News analyst and retired Army General Jack Keane says the U.S. is preparing to return to full-scale combat operations. Trump has reportedly asked the intelligence community to assess what it would look like to simply declare victory and leave. The U.S. has also just rejected Iran's latest peace deal. The nuclear question is real. Israel has the Samson Option. Trump is backed into a corner. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu has shown restraint when losing.

May 18, 2026Where is My Trump Phone!?!?!
Hawk breaks down the long history of Trump merchandise grifts targeting loyal MAGA supporters, from Trump Bibles and fake Gibson Les Pauls to NFTs now worth nothing, digital trading cards, gold high-top sneakers, and Trump watches with missing letters on the face. The $60 million phone scam sits alongside the $300 million election defense fund raised after 2020, money that was kept rather than spent on legal challenges.
The pattern is consistent: non-refundable deposits, no contractual obligation, and supporters who return again and again regardless. One supporter put deposits on four phones and lost $400. The fine print protected the Trump family entirely.
With gas prices climbing and questions about democratic institutions growing louder, the Trump phone story is a case study in the financial relationship between a political movement and the merchandise empire built around it.

May 17, 2026Four Ways to Save America
Next, Hawk calls for expanding the Supreme Court by four seats, drawing nominees from federal judges who held the line against the Trump administration, including Judge Boasberg. Ketanji Brown Jackson gets the nod for Chief Justice.
Puerto Rico and Washington DC become states, adding four new senators and giving millions of Americans real representation for the first time. Roe v. Wade gets codified into law nationwide. And critically, Hawk argues Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries must not lead the Senate or House, citing their stated loyalties to foreign interests over their own base. All four items fit on one piece of paper. Voting rights. Court reform. Statehood. Reproductive rights. That's the plan.

May 17, 2026Democrats Can Still Win The House in November
The generic ballot still shows a six-point Democratic advantage. Since early last year, Democrats have outperformed Kamala Harris's 2024 numbers by 13 to 15 points across 32 special elections. Republican enthusiasm is low, the party is divided, and Donald Trump is not on the ballot this fall.
Trump's approval on the economy, inflation, and immigration is worse than Joe Biden's numbers were at their lowest. The Iran war is historically unpopular, and with the Strait of Hormuz still closed, the worst economic pain — including potentially $10-per-gallon gas in California — has not yet hit. Eighty percent of Americans, in a strongly bipartisan poll, blame Trump and the Iran war for rising prices. That economic pain is expected to peak right before the midterms.
On the gerrymandering front, Texas redrew its map to gain seats — but three of those new districts are heavily Hispanic and Latino, populations that shifted toward Trump in 2024. Those gains may evaporate, potentially turning into Democratic pickups.
Hawk also speaks honestly about the racial dimension of these court decisions, reflecting on the experience of Black Americans who are not surprised by any of this — and what it means that the crowning achievement of the Civil Rights era has effectively been dismantled, rendering the votes of 26 million Black Americans in the South nearly meaningless.

May 16, 2026It is Not The South - It is THE CONFEDERACY
From Pete Hegseth's erasure of Black Americans and women from military history, to Donald Trump's dismantling of DEI programs across the federal government, to Stephen Miller's openly stated goal of ethnic cleansing, Hawk connects the dots between policy and intent. The firing of hundreds of thousands of Black federal workers, the targeting of universities and corporations with DEI policies, and the Supreme Court's systematic gutting of the Voting Rights Act are all part of the same pattern.
Chief Justice John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito have spent decades working to eradicate the Voting Rights Act, the landmark 1965 legislation that Hawk argues represented the first true moment the United States became a functioning representative democracy. That legacy is now being dismantled in real time.
Hawk makes the case that in 2026, there is no longer any reasonable argument that a Trump voter is not fully aware of what they are supporting. Racism, misogyny, bigotry, homophobia, and transphobia were not hidden in the 2024 campaign — they were the campaign. If the shoe fits, it fits.

May 16, 2026Kash Patel is Coming Undone
Rather than letting it go, Patel has responded in ways that are raising serious red flags. He filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against Fitzpatrick and The Atlantic. He then directed the FBI to open a criminal investigation into the journalist who wrote the story. And now he has ordered polygraph testing of more than two dozen current and former members of his own security detail and IT staff.
Hawk points out a glaring legal contradiction: by suing for defamation, Patel is claiming the allegations are false. But by simultaneously launching a criminal leak investigation inside the FBI to find out who talked to Fitzpatrick, he is effectively confirming the stories are true. You cannot claim something is fabricated while hunting down the people who allegedly fabricated it.
FBI rank and file agents have no loyalty to Patel. Former agents have gone on record saying the level of contempt inside the bureau for Patel is unlike anything they have seen. He has purged roughly a thousand senior agents, hollowed out institutional knowledge built over decades, and the DOJ has lost close to 7,000 employees nationwide. The people keeping this country safe are being fired, overworked, and replaced with loyalty over competence.

May 15, 2026Epstein Suicide Note
The note's contents are brief and striking, referencing 16-year-old charges, a choice to say goodbye, and the phrase "no fun" underlined. Hawk compares the alleged suicide note to a second handwritten note also found in Epstein's cell, noting consistent handwriting, similar phrasing, and that same underlined phrase appearing in both.
Also examined is a letter allegedly sent from Epstein to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar, which many on social media have pointed to as proof the suicide note is fake. Hawk compares available examples of Jeffrey Epstein's actual signature from legal documents to the signature on the Nassar letter and finds they do not match, leading him to conclude the Nassar letter is likely fraudulent.
Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein's cellmate, a former NYPD officer convicted of four murders for hire on behalf of a drug cartel, found the note after Epstein's death and gave it to his attorneys rather than prison officials. A judge then ordered it sealed in a courthouse safe, where it remained until last week.
Hawk walks through the evidence carefully and shares his honest assessment of what the handwriting comparison reveals about the authenticity of the suicide note.

May 10, 2026John Roberts Is A White Supremacist
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was the law that made the United States a representative democracy for the first time. Seventeen years after it passed, a young John Roberts joined the Department of Justice and reportedly began what Hawk describes as a 42-year project to undermine Black voting rights and eliminate proportional Black representation in the House of Representatives.
Roberts climbed from DOJ attorney to federal judge to Supreme Court Justice to Chief Justice of the United States. Hawk argues that every step of that career was guided by a singular purpose: stripping Black Americans of their constitutional right to vote and their right to fair representation in Congress. That goal, according to Hawk, was accomplished within the past week.
Hawk reflects on growing up in rural Ohio and how easily he could have turned out differently, using that contrast to highlight what he sees as the deliberate, career-long racism embedded in Roberts' judicial record.
