I’m not questioning that food safety, fair wages or regulations — where reasonable — are important, but lawmakers must take into account the combined cost of these worthy goals.
One of the nation's largest gatherings of socialists on Saturday launched the recruitment of left-wing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the 2028 presidential race.
Calling races on election night may be becoming routine for prediction markets. Convincing Washington they belong in the financial system may be a much tougher bet.

President Donald Trump spent the closing weeks of the midterm campaign saying, “Pretend I’m on the ballot.” He repeated it in campaign videos and telephone rallies, convinced that he was the key to Republicans maintaining control of Congress. Voters took him up on the offer, and the results were a complete repudiation of the previous […]
In 2028, I want a Republican nominee who can say no to a Republican president, a Democratic governor, or a room full of our own donors and give the same reason every time. If the answer depends on who’s asking, we already know how that person will govern. There’s a lazy assumption in Republican politics […]
In Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, Hank Rearden develops a revolutionary alloy that threatens established industries and provokes government interference. Rearden Metal represents more than a technological breakthrough. Its extraordinary utility challenges existing economic arrangements and exposes the tension between technological innovation and political authority. In 1989, FASA Corp. introduced another fictional vision of the relationship […]
Voters gave Congress a clear mandate in the midterm elections: Make our lives more affordable. Doing so will require examining the drivers raising the costs of groceries, gas, and other essentials — inflation, tariffs, and the war in Iran, to name a few. What won’t help lower prices, however, is banning retail technologies that enable […]

While those luminaries loom large — studied in academic classrooms, quoted in churches across the world, and, in Lewis’s case, the basis […]
As the anchor and executive editor of The Story with Martha MacCallum on Fox News, Martha MacCallum attends to the stories, momentous and fleeting, that constitute the daily news cycle. As an author, though, MacCallum prefers to focus on the stories from the past that have the capacity to inspire in the present. In 2020, […]
Chad Harbach’s first novel, The Art of Fielding (2011), was one of the most widely praised debuts of its decade, so you can’t blame the author for following up with a book featuring the same setting and many of the same characters. But while his new novel, The Brightness, returns to Westish College in Wisconsin […]
The successful targeting of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by a Chinese intelligence service is a big deal. But foremost among U.S. concerns is how this incident underlines China’s unparalleled threat. It is thus absurd that Democrats want to eliminate the House Select Committee on China. Alice Huang was, at least nominally, an executive at Megaspeed, […]
