Congress killed surprise bills — or did it? The $15 billion workaround raising your premiums

Nearly six years ago, Congress and President Donald Trump came together to enact one of the most significant bipartisan healthcare reforms in recent memory. The No Surprises Act ended one of the most abusive practices in American healthcare by protecting patients from surprise medical bills. Today, however, a new crisis has emerged. Recent media investigations […]

Anti-vaping hysteria keeps smokers hooked. Trump’s FDA is (finally) embracing reality

As a physician and former 11-term member of Congress who focused on health policy, I have devoted my career to advancing health for Americans. The most persistent health issue I have encountered was reducing smoking rates. Even today, smoking is still the leading preventable cause of disease. The good news is that we now have […]

Hamas killed the two-state solution. Here’s the only path forward for Israel

Middle East peace remains trapped in outdated thinking, paralyzed by decades of diplomatic insistence on a traditional two-state (two-country) solution. Yet, the brutal trajectory of recent history proves that separation-based frameworks are entirely dead. In 2021, I published an article in the Jerusalem Post outlining an alternative path proposing a federalized Israeli-Palestinian Union. This model […]

DeSantis, Cruz, and Youngkin just blew their first 2028 test in Michigan

Michigan Republicans gathered Saturday to complete the party’s statewide ticket. Some 2,000 delegates picked state Rep. Jay DeBoyer, gubernatorial nominee John James’ choice for lieutenant governor; Macomb County Clerk Anthony Forlini for secretary of state; Eaton County Prosecuting Attorney Doug Lloyd for attorney general; and nominees for the Michigan Supreme Court and other lesser offices […]

The West’s favorite Iranian ‘opposition’ is loved by everyone except Iranians

A common misconception is that the Mojahedin-e Khalgh Organization (MEK), led by Maryam Rajavi, can bring about an ideal transformation in Iran’s political landscape. However, this is deeply flawed, as it is neither compatible with Iran’s social fabric nor does the group fundamentally possess the requisite intellectual foundation and popularity to achieve this. This mistake […]

Democrats need to offer alternatives rather than just partisan opposition to Iran war

During World War II, when America was confronting fascist regimes hell-bent on exporting their murderous ideologies, Republicans united behind Democrats to form a joint front. They did so even though many Republicans — especially from the nativist wing — were upset with President Franklin Roosevelt’s sanctions on Japan, which the small “Blame America First” crowd […]

Trump is setting himself up to fail in Iran for the same reason he won in Venezuela

Three recent major geopolitical confrontations teach a consistent lesson: overwhelming military power alone cannot produce the desired political outcome. Ukraine, Venezuela, and Iran differ vastly in culture, geography, and strategy, but together they illustrate an enduring rule of statecraft: If you intend to force fundamental change on an adversary, you must know how to engage […]

The COVID-19 origin cover-up is no longer in dispute

On Wednesday, David Morens, a former senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, pleaded guilty to conspiring to conceal federal records related to the COVID-19 pandemic. He faces up to five years in prison. “By pleading guilty today,” his attorney Tim Belevetz said, “Dr. Morens has taken responsibility for what he […]

Are they Democrat socialists or just deadbeat scammers?

All this epic, sanctimonious selfishness is simply damning for a crowd that claims to be crusading on behalf of the underprivileged.

Trump, don’t legitimize Hamas

Jared Kushner’s recent meeting with Hamas is a mistake. The Trump administration risks granting legitimacy to a terrorist group responsible for the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. It could upend the prospects for a peaceful future for Gazans and Israelis alike. On August 16, Kushner, who is President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and frequent […]

Miranda Devine: Lindsay Clancy’s sick fans are just normalizing the horror of a mother killing her three children

The bizarre fandom around Lindsay Clancy is the latest example of a moral rot infecting a small cohort of conspiracy-minded, self-engrossed women.
