Pay No Attention to the Russian Oligarch at My Wedding Weekend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to our wedding weekend! It’s going to be a beautiful occasion, followed by an intimate gathering of family, dear friends, and one Russian oligarch nobody knows who will be handed the bill afterward. The bride will wear white, the groom will wear white, and the Russian oligarch nobody knows will wear camouflage in case someone tries to take a picture of him and ProPublica finds out. We will try to pass him off as a tropical plant, or suggest that he was doing close-up magic. In a sense, h
A Recap of a Surreal Midterm Convention (opens the original)
Read excerpt

When I think of summer food, I think about having your falcon bring you a roadkill slider, but I’m told others think salad and blueberries. So I thought I would

Sign up for our newsletter about national security here. “If you think about it, we have a gulf, and we have a lake. Now all we need is an ocean.” — President Trump, declaring Lake Ontario “Lake America” via executive order The year is 2027. Gas costs $83 a gallon, and lettuce is at war with us. However, every location on every map is now labeled America. And everything else is named Trump. Sometimes for fun we hike from the Trump Airport to the other Trump Airport to the other Trump Airport. (T
