The Ratepayer Protection Act passed the House with bipartisan support, aiming to stop data center energy costs from raising electric bills for families.
This election is a contest to see which party can do its best to lose. Looking forward from mid-September, President Donald Trump’s Republicans seem to be well ahead at this. But the Resistance (or don’t they call themselves that any more?) Democrats are putting up a contest. Second-term presidents tend to make political mistakes by […]
If you are wondering why the budget for California’s high-speed rail keeps increasing, it’s because the state needs to pay for very important things, such as escape room visits and nightclub outings for project consultants. The inspector general for the high-speed rail project has found that the California High-Speed Rail Authority has violated state contract […]
Marcus Jackson spends his days making sure children in Oklahoma City have a safe place to land. He runs Urban Bridge, a nonprofit group that gives middle and high schoolers in a low-income part of northeast Oklahoma City somewhere to go after school: writing and storytelling sessions, math and reading challenges, music and culinary classes, […]
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is on a public-relations blitz to whitewash his own advocacy in the AI space amid growing backlash. Watching it unfold conjures up the famous Shaggy song, “It Wasn’t Me.” Much like the philandering character in the iconic hit, who was caught “red-handed creepin’ with the girl next door,” Amodei now expects […]
Bayer’s Monsanto unit stood before a Missouri judge on Monday and asked him to approve a $7.25 billion settlement of roughly 65,000 lawsuits claiming its Roundup weed killer causes cancer. Judge Timothy Boyer heard arguments from both sides in St. Louis and didn’t rule from the bench. But the settlement he’s weighing already looks different […]
The word “genocide” is thrown around by Israel-haters to conjure up Nazi imagery for credulous Western leftists. That’s the beginning and end of it. It’s a hoax. And whenever you point out the low civilian-to-combat ratio, or note there was never any famine, or mention that the population of Gaza has possibly grown since the […]
Washington is reorganizing for cyber conflict in real time. In June, a proposal to create a separate U.S. Cyber Force was defeated 14-13 in the Senate Armed Services Committee. Now the National Security Agency is preparing what news reports describe as one of its most significant internal reorganizations in a decade, with five mission centers […]

Earlier this month, Macklemore walked onto the stage at MetLife Stadium in a keffiyeh, told 80,000 people to say “Free Palestine,” accused Israel of apartheid and genocide, and performed “Hind’s Hall” while images from Gaza played on the screens behind him. Within roughly a week he was off Ed Sheeran’s tour. Robert Kraft confirmed that […]
For the better part of a decade, Washington has tried to force 21st-century financial technology into a tax code built for another era. The results are predictable: confusion, unnecessary compliance costs, arbitrary tax treatment, and a bureaucracy that makes ordinary people pay for Washington’s failure to keep pace. Today, buying a cup of coffee with […]
