A Reckless Breach: The Alarming Security Failures of U.S. Leadership
Once again, we find ourselves trapped in the never-ending saga of mobile phones and national security—this time with the particularly pressing question: Should we ban officials under 60 from using them, or at least require a remedial course on not inviting journalists to top-secret group chats? Do you know what your national security adviser is doing on his phone? Is he coordinating defense strategy, or is he deep in the big-man-osphere debating whether to bomb a Hooters? Worse still, did he mistakenly add the editor-in-chief of a major publication to a Signal chat in the critical lead-up to a classified U.S. military operation in Yemen—an act so staggeringly reckless that, frankly, he might as well get a prison jumpsuit tattooed onto his body permanently?

Owl . Content Warning.
Owl had always been a quiet girl. Even as a child, she spoke in hushed tones, her voice barely above a whisper, as if afraid of being too much. She had been given the name Owl by her mother, who thought her large, dark eyes resembled the birds that watched the night with silent wisdom.

Trump’s Retreat from Democracy Creates a New Opportunity for Europe and Britain
Thanks to Donald Trump, a major shift is underway in the global landscape. For decades, however imperfectly, the United States positioned itself as the defender of democracy and the land of the free. Now, as it pivots away from that role, a vacancy has emerged—an opportunity for others to step in.

The Custody Battle
It was the kind of moment that could never be taken back. The kind that froze time and shattered any illusion of control. Emma stood on the doorstep of the family home, the heavy door closing behind her with a finality that seemed to echo through the years. Her hands trembled as she clutched the small suitcase, the last remnants of her life with her children packed inside. The whiff of their childhood—her daughter’s lavender shampoo and her son’s musky aftershave—lingered faintly in the air, but this time, it wasn’t enough to hold her back.

British people are being systematically lied to by our political elites.
In the wake of constant political turmoil and an overwhelming sense of disillusionment, one fact remains clear: Britain is being systematically lied to by its political elite. From misleading campaign promises to half-truths about the economy, we have become accustomed to a culture of spin and deception at the highest levels of government. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s the truth—our politicians have made a habit of misrepresenting reality to serve their own agendas, leaving the public to sift through the wreckage.

The rising costs of higher education have become one of the most pressing issues in the UK, the US, and other parts of the world.

The Broken Trust
Katie had thought the hardest part of her life was confronting Luke about his betrayal. The weeks that followed the revelation had been a blur of emotions—anger, sorrow, confusion—and even the brief moments of numbness when she convinced herself everything would be okay. But the universe, it seemed, had more surprises in store. And none of them were easy.

The Broken Trust
Katie had always considered herself a realist. She didn’t believe in fairy tales, didn’t expect life to always be perfect, but she did expect trust in her marriage. She had been with Luke for seven years, and despite their ups and downs, she had always believed in the foundation they’d built. They had met in university, bonded over shared ambitions, and, over time, had crafted a life that seemed comfortable and steady. They had a lovely house in the suburbs, two dogs, and the kind of routine that was the envy of many of their friends. The kind of life that seemed to promise stability—perhaps even happiness.
