Tom Kean Jr., the Republican congressman from New Jersey whose four-month absence from the House this year went unexplained until he disclosed that he was being treated for depression, and Democrat Rebecca Bennett are readying for the first and only campaign debate Sunday night in their closely contested race.
For years, Planned Parenthood's endorsement of Susan Collins was enough to persuade Erin Evans to vote for Maine's longtime U.S. senator, believing that the moderate Republican would protect abortion access.
One of the most biting insults in Alaska politics is to be accused of being aligned with the "Lower 48," code for candidates taking marching orders from powerful forces in the contiguous United States rather than sticking up for Alaskans.
Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin rejected antisemitism claims as Ireland's soccer players held a dramatic last-minute vote on playing against Israel.
Never in history have single people had access to so many potential romantic partners. A generation ago, most Americans met people through the ordinary institutions of life. They met in person at college or church or were introduced in a coffee shop or bar. Today, a single person can open an app and, within minutes, […]
A tragedy happens. People get hurt. Lives are lost. Then the lawyers start looking around the room. Who can be held responsible? That question sits at the center of a growing problem in American civil litigation. There’s nothing wrong with holding people and companies accountable when they actually cause harm.

The stories of the Righteous should be central to what we teach the next generation because remembering evil must also carry a responsibility to recognize and practice goodness.

Because our center was close to his […]
Americans argue endlessly over who should govern. We spend less time asking the prior question: What kind of government are we trying to preserve? The answer should be self-government. What are the alternatives? Rule by someone else — by a monarch, an oligarchy, a bureaucracy, a party, an ideological elite, or simply whichever faction has […]
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has made commercial-driver safety a major priority, tightening the rules governing non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses and requiring more reliable verification that foreign-domiciled drivers are legally eligible and qualified to operate enormous commercial vehicles on American highways. That raises an important parallel question: If we care about who is operating an 80,000-pound […]
Working families and small businesses are already paying the price of higher interest rates. Mortgage payments are harder to afford. Car financing is more expensive. Business owners are paying more to borrow, invest, and hire. The Federal Reserve has a difficult job and price stability matters, but before it raises rates again, the threshold for […]
Our civil justice system rests on a simple premise: Every claim represents a real person, with a real injury, who chose to seek redress.
