Are midterm results already baked in the cake?

ARE MIDTERM RESULTS ALREADY BAKED IN THE CAKE? President Donald Trump will gather Republicans in a rare midterm convention starting Wednesday in Dallas. It’s a chance, GOP organizers hope, to fire up voters and reset a campaign in which Republicans appear to be trailing in several key races. It’s reasonable that Republicans would want to do […]

UNICEF sent chlorine to save children, Sudan made bombs — America must end the impunity

The New York Times and The Washington Post recently published investigations built on some 150 leaked documents, photographs, and intercepted messages from inside the Sudanese Armed Forces. The picture is chilling: a program, launched in mid-2024, to build chlorine bombs; a stockpile of roughly 290 munitions at Merowe air base; indications that more than 100 […]

Ted Lieu isn’t lying — he’s telling you half the story

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) is entitled to his political conclusions. He isn’t entitled to his own version of history.

Affordability or bankrolling stay-at-home parents? You can only care about one

The White House’s reported plot to redirect funding from the Child Care and Development Block Grant subsidies for working parents to families with one stay-at-home parent is best understood as an 11th-hour political ploy to bolster Republicans’ odds in the midterm elections, but a gambit that is unlikely to stand up in court.

Trump’s Beijing blind spots: The two glaring holes in his war on high drug prices

President Donald Trump’s drug pricing policy has two China blind spots. The first is that Washington is pressing other developed economies to pay what it calls their fair share for pharmaceutical innovation, while China remains largely outside that burden-sharing effort, even as Chinese drug developers increasingly benefit from the high-priced American market through licensing and […]

China is arming Russia’s drone machine. Here’s the proof

The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a new technological level where combat operations are increasingly shifting to the realm of unmanned systems, and the majority of strikes — at both the tactical and operational-strategic levels — are carried out using attack drones and missiles.  The protracted nature of the war and its intensity have created a […]

New York City is taxing you to fund Mamdani’s fan club

On a Tuesday morning in March, a curious wave of enthusiasm rolled across social media. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani had just canceled a $9 million McKinsey contract, and within hours, comedians, operatives, and parenting influencers were all praising the move in strikingly similar language. It looked like an organic consensus. It was choreography. […]
