Hugging Face hack shows why we shouldn’t trust AI

The current debate over artificial intelligence models became more complicated after an unreleased OpenAI model escaped containment and hacked into a repository for AI information known as Hugging Face. AI doomers will use this incident to call for greater oversight of AI, and they have a point. OpenAI announced Tuesday that a combination of its […]

Mamdani pushes the Jewish hate that leads to ‘Allahu Akbar’ stabbing

The stabbing happened a few blocks from my house, and the victim wore a big, black yarmulke, just like me.

Democrats smear police after a shooting in Madison, Wisconsin

The Black Lives Matter movement has been largely neutered by the widespread adoption of body cameras. Democrats in Wisconsin are trying to bring the movement back, though, smearing police officers for a shooting after having deprived those officers of body cameras. A police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, has brought out the Democratic smears of police […]

Peace in Lebanon? Not in our time

Optimism and foreign policy should not go hand in hand. This is certainly true in the Middle East, a part of the world where final peace agreements are often temporary and wars are always being waged. And it is perhaps more true in Lebanon than anywhere else. For more than half a century, Lebanon has […]

China shoots itself in ASEAN foot with latest Philippines skirmish

Two weeks ago, a Chinese state media outlet offended Filipinos by presenting them as idiotic monkeys under Japanese and American control. Apparently unsatisfied with the alienation this caused, China caused new wounds to its regional credibility this week. Infuriated by the Philippines’s continued determination to sail freely in the South China Sea, the Chinese coast […]

Trump is right, polls can’t decide Iran war

A Politico survey conducted this week found support among President Donald Trump’s supporters for continuing the war with Iran, even at rising domestic costs, falling from 50% in May to 37% in July. Nearly 1 in 5 MAGA voters is ready to end the fighting, whatever the cost, and 57% say the war has pushed gas prices […]

China could hack your next car. The Senate has a chance to stop it

On Wednesday, the Senate Commerce Committee did something we rarely see anymore. Every member, from both parties, voted to advance the same bill. The Connected Vehicle Security Act of 2026, introduced by Sens. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MN), now heads to the full Senate. I want to explain why that vote deserved to […]

Flock off: Big Brother’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month

Whether a belated semiquincentennial birthday gift to America from the ghosts of the Founding Fathers or simply a bout of good fortune for those longing for the degree of privacy against the government that existed when the Fourth Amendment was adopted, the last several weeks have been pretty rough on Big Brother, especially Flock Safety. […]

Trump doesn’t need to build a state in Africa — recognize the one that works

American policy toward Somaliland rests on a fiction. Washington treats the territory as if Mogadishu might one day govern it, even though Somaliland has run its own institutions since 1991. President Donald Trump can replace that fiction with a practical partnership by recognizing a state that Somalilanders have already built. The timing is unusually clear. […]

Anthropic Armageddon: Dario Amodei’s doomsday fears conveniently crush his competition

A recurring figure in American popular culture, particularly in periods of rapid economic and technological change, is the “prophetic CEO.” These larger-than-life figures seemingly have their finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist and offer sweeping prescriptions on how to address them. We are presently living in the age of artificial intelligence, and some Americans […]

School segregation didn’t end. Wealthy suburbs just learned how to hide it

It has been 72 years since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. While there has been some success in integrating schools across the South through enforcement mechanisms such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (1964), which gave the federal […]

The Mamdani Left isn’t governing — it’s clout-chasing

There was a time when politicians sought headlines because they had accomplished something. Today, too many seek headlines simply to become the story. America has entered the age of performative politics, where performance too often eclipses public service. Governing often comes second to going viral. The incentive is no longer to solve problems but to […]
