Don’t blame Kathy Hochul for erasing mothers and fathers. Blame gay marriage

New York is about to erase “mother” and “father” from state law. Justifiable outrage has erupted across the Right. But if you’re surprised, you weren’t paying attention.

Preserving trade deal with Mexico and Canada is key to revival of US textile manufacturing

In a global sourcing world centered on far-flung supply chains often built on illegal subsidies and trade practices, customs fraud and duty evasion, and underpriced goods, one key U.S. free trade agreement has remained a linchpin for American textile and apparel manufacturers’ competitiveness and job growth and domestic supply chain stability.

Putting sports behind paywalls makes America lose more than just games

For generations, sports have brought Americans together. Families gather around the television on Sunday afternoons to watch football. Friends head to the ballpark.

Democrats, not Republicans, transfer wealth from Main Street to billionaires

The New Republic and similar outlets continue blaming Republicans for tanking the economy. The historical record shows a clear, repeated pattern.

When the […]

The Food and Drug Administration recently announced that, for the first time in more than 20 years, it will expand the range of permitted sunscreen options available to consumers this summer.

America at 250: Who is an American in which America?

As America celebrates its semiquincentennial anniversary, it’s time to finally address the twin-faceted existential questions: who is an American in which America?

Canada’s MAGA moment doesn’t undo strategic partnership with China

On May 28 in New York, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that a strong Canada “will help make America great again.” His announcement came at a high-stakes moment, with China’s foreign minister arriving in Ottawa to build out the road map for the Canada-China “strategic partnership” and Minister Dominic Leblanc heading to Washington in […]

FEMA public assistance is essential to rural recovery

When disaster strikes, millions of people rely on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help their communities rebuild. Nowhere is that partnership more critical than in rural America, where electric cooperatives are often on the front lines restoring power in some of the hardest-hit, hardest-to-reach areas.  America’s not-for-profit electric cooperatives serve some of the nation’s […]

Spain is no longer a democracy

Spain’s crisis is no longer corruption. Corruption merely steals money. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s machine seeks to cripple the institutions capable of exposing the theft.
