    Stop telling me to 'find joy' while the GOP is wrecking America (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I am done hearing that Liberals need to find more joy in their lives. I am done being ridiculed that we don’t smile enough, and take everything too damn seriously these days. You want joy from us? Then start comporting yourself like half-decent people who love our wildlife more than your guns. Stop spreading your heinous lies, and pick up one of those books you want to ban, and discover the truth. Knock it off with the bigotry and misogyny, and concentrate on fixing yourselves, because you are b

    A gas station assault shows the rage of Trump's crumbling cult (opens the original)

    It was four long years ago this month, but I’ll never forget it … For the first time since the murderous Covid had strangled the world into submission, my wife and I escaped the safety of our house, loaded up our old Honda Accord, and started chugging East from Wisconsin toward the beautiful beaches of North Carolina where we hoped to toss off our masks and breathe some ocean air. Somewhere, dead in the middle of Indiana, our dependable, four-wheel darlin’ started asking for gas, so we pulled of

    A reflection of U.S. President Donald Trump as he speaks at the Republican National Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas, U.S., September 10, 2026. Donald Trump hates the same people his supporters do. Any time I spend a portion of my day considering the dark, noxious cloud that has become a part of the American landscape, and more specifically, the origins of this man-made disaster, I arrive at this place. It’s as sad, simple, and as hideous as that. Trump is a terrible president, and an even wo

    Cover of Stars and Stripes, September 12, 2001 AUTHOR’S NOTE: Today, on the 25th anniversary of this terrible attack, freedom of the press, the troops’ newspaper and Democracy itself are under siege by a Trump Administration that views truth as the enemy, and lying a virtue.

It was just another Tuesday morning in the Stars & Stripes newsroom located on t
