Cars operate mostly on public roads, and they are dangerous: Cars are massive machines that move at high velocity, and they result in more than 40,000 deaths a year. For these reasons, cars are naturally very regulated. Self-driving cars are just coming onto the market in significant numbers, so the regulatory framework will have to […]
After yet another attack on ICE facilities and personnel Monday, a CNN panel blamed President Donald Trump’s “politically violent rhetoric,” showing how delusional some of the left-wing pundits really are. Around 8:30 a.m. yesterday in New York City, a man who was later identified as 43-year-old Andrew Arrabaca allegedly began an attack outside 26 Federal […]
The United Kingdom’s new prime minister, Andy Burnham, has appointed his key Cabinet ministers. Unlike in the United States, U.K. Cabinet ministers do not require legislative confirmation, so they enter office immediately. Burnham’s appointments suggest he is likely to take a bolder stance on defense spending but also double down on his predecessor Keir Starmer’s […]
During the Bush and Obama years, it was absolutely essential to the liberals’ and Democrats’ self-image that they were the scourges of the special interests, and that the Right and the Republicans were the toadies of Big Business. This was hogwash — both parties were the parties of Big Business. Liberals toned down this line […]
Doctors do not have to be apolitical. They have to know when politics must stop. A physician may vote, protest, write, argue, and hold strong views about Israel, Gaza, race, immigration, abortion, climate change, or any other public controversy. Doctors are citizens. Medical students are citizens. Nurses, residents, and faculty members are citizens. But the […]
There was a time when the word “genocide” stopped a conversation cold. Now, it’s a talking point — flung at whatever country the progressive Left wants to tar this week. The word was coined in 1944 by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jewish lawyer who lost 49 members of his family to the Holocaust, including his […]
Every generation believes that superior weapons have changed the nature of war. Ours does, too. History stubbornly disagrees. Military history, in America and around the world, teaches one lesson with remarkable consistency: Overwhelming force can win battles, but only strategy can end wars. The distinction matters because nations often confuse military superiority with strategic success. […]
China has to date run two large-scale experiments in capturing global technology market share. Call them the Huawei model and the TikTok model. The contrast between them explains why Chinese AI labs — DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM — are succeeding today, and why their winning streak may eventually hit the same impasse TikTok did. By […]
The Democratic Socialists of America invites Americans to imagine life without bills: no mortgage, landlord, health insurance premiums, college debt, grocery anxiety, or transportation costs. It sounds like a brightly colored water slide — fast, easy, exciting, and open to everyone. What the advertisement does not show is where the water ends. Bills do not […]
With the announcement in June by Columbia University that it would once again require SAT or ACT scores as part of the undergraduate application process, the failed experiment of “test-optional” admissions at Ivy League schools and beyond has finally come to an end. Columbia was the last holdout among the “elite” institutions of higher education. […]

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) cleared the first major hurdle of his packed legislative agenda Tuesday, when House Republicans passed a rule setting up floor debate and final votes on a slate of high-profile Republican priorities before lawmakers leave Washington.

Drugmaker Novo Nordisk sued rival Eli Lilly on Tuesday, accusing the company of false advertising over the performance of its weight loss drugs. The lawsuit, filed in federal district court in New Jersey, alleges Lilly intentionally selected outdated studies to show the use of Mounjaro and Zepbound lead to significantly more weight loss than Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and...

Susan Collins (R), signaled in a new interview this week that he would not support Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) as the party's leader in the upper chamber. “The Democratic Party needs to have a different approach — getting people back...
