FORT STEWART, Georgia — A viral image claiming that “Uncle Sam wants gamers to re-enlist” for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI sounds almost too strange to be true. But the basic story checks out — with one major clarification: this is not an Army-wide recruiting program for civilians.

By John Washington III, Democratic Presidential Candidate for 2028

There is a serious question of fairness in America when the justice system appears to operate by one standard for ordinary citizens and another for police officers. Police officers are agents of the government. They are given authority by cities and states to detain people, place them in handcuffs, use force, make arrests, and in extreme circumstances use deadly force. With that level of government-backed power should come an equally high level of accountability. Yet too many Americans believe accountability becomes strongest only after somebody produces undeniable video evidence.

Reported and written by John Washington III CHICAGO — Something happened in downtown Chicago Saturday evening that deserves the public's attention. At approximately 7 p.m. on August 15, a large amount of smoke suddenly filled part of downtown Chicago, reducing visibility in an area between East Lake Street and Wacker Drive and between North Michigan Avenue and Columbus Drive. Videos from the scene showed a substantial plume of smoke rising near the Fairmont Chicago hotel at 200 N. Columbus Drive. Other footage showed drivers trapped in traffic on Lower Wacker Drive while firefighters and ot

By John Washington III — 2028 Presidential Candidate I want Americans to start asking a question that I believe deserves a serious national conversation: If our government has hardened underground facilities designed to keep government and military operations functioning during war, nuclear attack or another catastrophic emergency, what is the comparable survival plan for the American people? Before I go any further, I want to separate documented facts from internet rumors. There is real evidence that the United States maintains major hardened facilities for continuity of government, milit

Opinion by John Washington III — 2028 Presidential Candidate I hear a lot of people talk about former Vice President Kamala Harris as if there should be no questions about whether she has always been “for the people.” Many people respect her, many women see her as someone who has fought for their rights, and she has built a political career around the idea of fighting for ordinary Americans. But I believe we have to stop judging politicians only by what they say today. Look at what they did when they had power.

As John Washington III looks toward the 2028 presidential election, he says one of the defining features of his campaign will be his willingness to challenge the political establishment and publicly explain how government systems operate—from state governments to Washington, D.C. Washington argues that his approach has not made him popular with everyone in politics. “Politicians don’t like me—and I don’t like them either,” is one of the messages he has used to describe his relationship with the political establishment. But Washington says the disagreement goes deeper than personalities or po

Music creation is changing, and Music Helmet is being built to give independent artists, songwriters, producers, labels, and music entrepreneurs more control over the entire process. Instead of using one service to write a song, another to create the music, another to organize the release, and several more tools to manage registrations and metadata, Music Helmet is bringing more of that workflow together in one place.

For independent artists, songwriters, producers, publishers, and record-label owners, creating the music is only one part of the business. Behind every release is another world involving song titles, writer information, publishing information, ownership percentages, ISRCs, supporting records, registrations, and royalty administration. Music Helmet is a music-technology company created to make that administrative side of the industry easier to manage. Created by entrepreneur and music executive John Washington III, Music Helmet is designed around a straightforward idea: musicians should not h

For independent songwriters, artists, producers, publishers, and record labels, managing music registration information can become one of the most time-consuming parts of operating a music catalog. Music Helmet, created by entrepreneur and music executive John Washington III, was designed to make that process faster, easier, and far more organized. Music Helmet provides musicians and rights holders with a centralized workspace for gathering the information they need when preparing songs for submission and registration with The Mechanical Licensing Collective, commonly known as The MLC.
