U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed runs against the American system that helped him succeed

Abdul El-Sayed is running for the U.S. Senate on a paradox. He embodies a version of the American Dream -- the immigrant-family success story, the academic standout, the public-health reformer -- yet he argues that the very systems that helped him rise are broken and need a far-left overhaul.

Mamdani’s reparations logic does not add up

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani floated cutting checks to black New Yorkers to atone for the city’s involvement in slavery. But transforming the descendants of immigrants into historical perpetrators, and millions of black New Yorkers into victims, would be historically incoherent and legally perilous. When asked whether he would support cash reparations for those affected […]

This anti-Trump group wants the Clarity Act passed. Democrats won’t let that happen

A vocal anti-Trump African-American organization is pushing for Congress to pass stalled cryptocurrency legislation. Even though this grassroots Democrat group supports the bill, the party’s establishment continues to stand in the way. As the Senate wraps up its work before its summer recess, the National Black Church Initiative, a vocal anti-Trump group, and the Blockchain […]

Trump’s failures on affordability are sinking the GOP ship for the midterms

After a year and a half of poor polls for the Democratic Party, the political gravity of the midterm elections is starting to set in. Republicans are losing ground, and it can primarily be chalked up to President Donald Trump’s lack of a handle on affordability. After months of Democrats struggling in generic congressional ballot […]

The government owns 28% of America — and has no clue what’s underneath it

Last week, President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to reduce America’s dependence on foreign mineral suppliers. The military must now map vulnerable supply chains and shift them toward domestic and allied sources. The next day, the Interior Department acknowledged a critical problem jeopardizing that strategy: Much of the country still lacks the data needed to […]

Why Trump’s smoke tariffs miss the real Canadian culprit

President Donald Trump has recently boosted tariffs against some Canadian exports to the U.S. to the 50% level, something unprecedented, even for him. He has done so, in part, as a reaction to smoke inundating the United States from Canadian forest fires. The New York Times, and who would know better on this matter, indeed, […]

The FDA stacked a panel with peptide sellers. Guess what it voted to greenlight

During a meeting last week, the Food and Drug Administration’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee recommended that six previously restricted peptides be made available for pharmacy compounding. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Compounding is the preparation of customized medications for individual patients rather than the dispensing of conventionally manufactured, […]

Government compels, culture persuades: Why Washington is ruining America

My grandmother had an expression for almost everything.  Whenever I stood over the stove impatiently waiting for water to boil, she’d smile and say, “A watched pot never boils.” As a child, I thought she was talking about cooking. Years later, I realized she was talking about something much bigger.  She understood that constant interference […]

I am a Palestinian activist. Here’s why I’m mourning Lindsey Graham

Lindsey Graham’s last moments were emblematic of the way he lived: in service. On his final Friday, he stood in Kyiv beside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and announced that the White House had agreed to advance his Russia sanctions bill. The next night, an aortic dissection killed him at 71. After the funeral on Tuesday, […]

What Trump’s record border numbers are hiding

Southwest Border Patrol apprehensions in January 2026 were 79% lower than in the same month a year earlier, while total encounters at and between ports of entry along that border fell 84%. By April, Border Patrol was averaging 298 apprehensions per day. Those are substantial changes. They are also enforcement outputs rather than complete measures […]

When a slur becomes a crime, nobody’s speech is safe

A Rochester, Minnesota, jury spent nine hours this month deciding whether a woman who screamed a racial slur into a stranger’s phone camera had committed a crime. Shiloh Hendrix walked on the count tied to the boy she’d cursed at and was convicted on the count tied to the man who filmed her. She now […]

The Teamsters betrayed their own workers — and Republicans fell for it again

Last week, the Ohio Conference of Teamsters endorsed Sherrod Brown for the U.S. Senate in 2026. Not a surprise for anyone who has been paying attention to how union leadership actually operates. But for Republicans wondering if the organization represents something new in American labor politics, this endorsement of Brown says more than two years […]
