The Washington Times' Alex Swoyer breaks down the major cases on the Supreme Court's new docket, from climate change lawsuits and gun rights to religious liberty, voting rules and immigration.
Unable to break through Ukrainian defensive lines, Russia is increasingly adopting the strategy of Islamist terrorists: blowing up Ukrainian civilians as they go about their daily lives. President Donald Trump is directly fueling this mayhem by buying diesel fuel from Russia. President Vladimir Putin’s problem is significant: since he began what was supposed to be […]
Today, Oct. 12, is Columbus Day — and only Columbus Day. It is a holiday set aside to honor the accomplishments and legacy of Christopher Columbus, the 15th-century Italian explorer from the Republic of Genoa. His 1492 expedition to the Western Hemisphere led to the discovery of previously unknown landmasses. When Columbus landed on San […]
I first read John Steinbeck’s East of Eden many years ago, but the sprawling, multigenerational tale of the Trasks continues to exert a profound influence on me. It was for this reason that I greeted Netflix’s announcement of a new adaptation with equal parts intrigue and apprehension. Netflix, after all, is not exactly renowned for […]
Small business owners are staring down the looming threat of intrusive government involvement and unfair competitive practices in their day-to-day operations. This November, voters will decide whether local neighborhood employers get room to grow or get buried under the socialist playbook now being repackaged as affordability. The scenario is currently unfolding in New York City, […]
A column made the rounds this month arguing that President Donald Trump’s remaining supporters stay loyal chiefly out of racial grievance and fear of losing majority status, reaching at one point for a comparison to the kind of allegiance an authoritarian strongman commands. That is a serious charge, and it deserves a serious check against […]
Washington cannot expect Americans to invest for decades while managing energy policy one election at a time. Main Street owners put their savings, their businesses, and their employees’ livelihoods behind every expansion. They need confidence that the energy supporting those commitments will be available and affordable long after the next administration takes office. President Donald […]
“In this election, the Democrats have nominated the most extreme and dangerous group of candidates for the House and Senate ever to seek office,” said President Donald Trump last month. “If they win, the greatest legislative body in history will, for the first time ever, be controlled by a communist caucus.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), […]
On Oct. 5, Nasdaq told its market-data customers to prepare for a 23-hour trading day. Three days later, the Securities and Exchange Commission published a Nasdaq rule filing addressing how trading would resume after a market-wide circuit-breaker halt under that expanded schedule. The industry is targeting Dec. 6 for broader overnight trading. Wall Street is […]
As a physician, I am accustomed to patients asking me about new treatments they have seen online. Lately, those conversations include peptides, chains of amino acids that work as messengers in the body to affect blood sugar, healing, weight loss, or even aging. Some peptides are legitimate, important medicines. Insulin is a peptide, and GLP-1-based […]
When American policy adopts the lexicon of apocalyptic fiction, it does not calm the public; it surrenders the dominant narrative to China. It can be fixed with one word. For weeks, the narrative that “AI will kill you” dominated global news, sparked by a tech researcher and aligning with a 2014 publication, “Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, […]
Left-wing ideology has taken root in medical education, and it likely isn’t the work of a mere vocal minority. Federal campaign contribution records from donors who listed a U.S. medical school as their employer show that about 87% of contributions went to left-wing candidates, party committees, and political action committees, and just 4% went to […]
The “cancel culture” era of the 2020s should’ve already taught us this lesson, but if any doubt remained about the need for due process and even-mindedness when litigating accusations of wrongdoing, the social media meltdown over the Cornell rape case should answer the question once and for all. Ever since the news broke of an […]
American voters are increasingly faced with a new political disorder: Trump Disenchantment Syndrome. This new “TDS” is a national malaise reaching beyond Washington into congressional and gubernatorial races, leaving some Republicans and independents drifting away from Republican candidates struggling to counter a negativity they can’t control. The reasons for disenchantment are complicated. But one factor […]
America is experiencing an energy boom that is transforming the economy and powering technologies critical for national and economic security. Production of oil and gas is at record highs. Nuclear power is being commercialized again after a generation of stagnation. And utility-scale solar power has quietly become the fastest-growing addition to electricity capacity. In 2025, […]
