Healthcare affordability is America’s No. 1 financial concern. According to new polling from the Kaiser Family Foundation, roughly two-thirds of U.S. adults worry about being able to afford the care their families need. Yet in the search for solutions, the federal government appears to be heading in the wrong direction. Policymakers are considering drug pricing […]
Meta just announced it will start alerting parents when their teenagers ask Instagram’s artificial intelligence chatbot about suicide or self-harm. It’s a good and overdue step. It is, whether Meta intends it this way or not, also an admission of everything that Sammy’s Law has been arguing for two years: parents cannot protect their children […]
With the burial of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, contemporary political discourse will inevitably focus on his geopolitical maneuvering, Iran’s nuclear trajectory, and prolonged confrontation with Western powers. However, an analysis restricted to statecraft overlooks the defining characteristic of his tenure: the systematic institutionalization of state-sanctioned violence. Khamenei’s legacy is fundamentally defined by the creation of an […]
It’s now readily demonstrable that Anthropic’s political advocacy and advertising have caused substantial harm to America’s position in the global AI race. There has long been an understanding that, for America to lead the world in this entirely new domain, a critical imperative is to keep the government from suffocating this technology with regulations before […]
Justice Elena Kagan should recuse herself from Suncor Energy v. Boulder County. Not because a lower court told her to. Not because an ethics board ruled against her. Because the oldest test in the profession says so: would a reasonable, informed observer question her impartiality? Here, the answer isn’t close. I spend a good part […]
The American Anthropological Association is outraged. A little known but illuminating report on the state of scholarship in the humanities and humanistic social sciences, commissioned by the chancellors of Vanderbilt University and Washington University in St. Louis, warns that “every field” the authors studied shows “a deterioration in scholarly standards fueled by the substitution of […]
On July 10, Turkey signed a memorandum of understanding with the illegal administration of Northern Cyprus for a 97-kilometer bidirectional submarine gas pipeline. The project will run from Turkey’s southern coast near Alanya to the Teknecik power station outside Kyrenia. Two parallel 22-inch lines will initially carry natural gas from Turkey to power plants in […]
Squatters have taken over a dead University of California, Berkeley, professor’s home, and the state is making it impossible for his family to kick them out. Thanks to the Golden State’s policy of legalized property theft, Przemyslaw Jeziorski’s family is fighting a losing battle in the courts. Jeziorski, who was murdered last year, used to […]
Over the course of the last few days, the world’s eyes have been fixed on the Strait of Hormuz. The United States has declared it open for business, while recent reports indicate Iran has instructed its Houthi allies to intervene if U.S. strikes hit Iran’s infrastructure. Iran’s concerns that it may be further weakened by […]
Americans expect taxpayer money to be spent responsibly, transparently, and in the public interest. It does not belong to politicians. It does not belong to unelected bureaucrats. And it certainly does not belong to politically connected insiders looking to live lavishly on the taxpayer’s dime. When I worked as an intelligence officer for the Department […]
Before July 13, almost nobody had heard of Darline Graham Nordone, but now she is a U.S. senator. How did she get the job? By being the sister of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who held the seat until his death on July 11. This reeks of nepotism. Critics say it looks like a hereditary monarchy, […]
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) again acquiesced to her socialist overlords this week when she issued the nation’s first statewide moratorium on data center construction. Hochul was immediately thanked by socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who is pushing her own national data center ban in Congress. Hochul’s infrastructure-development moratorium comes just weeks after she agreed to […]
