Vice President J.D. Vance heads to Iowa on Tuesday, marking his first visit since taking office to the state where Republicans in less than two years will cast the initial votes to pick their party's next presidential nominee.
The pro-life discontent with President Donald Trump that has been simmering throughout his second term may have finally reached a boiling point. Dismayed by an increase in the number of abortions nearly four years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, leaders in the anti-abortion movement are blaming Trump for accepting the online sale of abortion […]
In the years since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, the battleground over abortion has shifted to the states, and the tactics used by abortion advocates have shifted alongside it. With states regaining the right to outlaw brick-and-mortar abortion clinics within their borders, the front lines of the fight for the unborn have […]
As Washington debates how to strengthen supply chains, lower costs, and stay competitive with China, one of the most consequential infrastructure decisions in years is receiving far too little attention. The Surface Transportation Board will soon decide whether to approve the merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, an opportunity to upgrade how goods move […]
A student group at Cornell University claims university president Michael Kotlikoff “hit us with his car” after a debate over Israel. Students for a Democratic Cornell call the incident a “violent response to student inquiry.” It’s quite the story: The University refuses to allow open debate about Israel, and resorts to violence to silence dissent! […]

George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. May 5, 1776 Gen.

For years, U.S. policy toward Iran has been built on a dangerous illusion: that the regime can be contained, negotiated with, or slowly moderated over time. It hasn’t and it won’t. Every delay, every concession, and every half-measure has only strengthened Tehran’s hand, bringing it closer to nuclear capability and deeper control over a network […]
The Supreme Court issued an important opinion in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Davenport recently that protects people, particularly those who band together to promote unpopular or controversial positions, from government overreach. At first blush, First Choice may not seem that important: it was a unanimous opinion that dealt principally with whether the […]
As May 2026 unfolds, the world’s attention is fixed on a high-stakes diplomatic theater. By mid-May, President Donald Trump is slated for a pivotal two-day state visit to Beijing. This visit comes at a time when the Middle East is on a knife-edge. The geopolitical landscape is defined by a grueling stalemate: the Strait of […]
As Democrats approach America’s 250th birthday on July 4, their efforts to wreck the foundation of our republic’s spectacular success are numerous. I’ll get to one of them with an anecdote. In a pretty harbor town in Maine in 2024, a campaign volunteer pressed me to support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact that would […]
Every few years, some brave souls in Congress propose immigration reform — and every time it happens, critics react with the same knee-jerk accusation: “Amnesty!” But this radioactive charge is inaccurate when lobbed against the Dignity Act (H.R. 4393), a bipartisan proposal that gives Congress a chance to do what it seems to have forgotten […]
CNN analyst Van Jones on Monday defended Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) against criticism from inside the Democratic Party amid reports that some Republicans are quietly trying to persuade the senator to switch parties or become an independent ahead of the midterm elections. “Look, I think he is a moderate Democrat, and that should not be...

In a 71-page complaint filed in the Sunshine State’s Second Judicial Circuit, the Equal Ground Education Fund and 19 Floridians allege that the governor and state Legislature violated the Florida Constitution in...
