Democrats are currently on track for a good midterm election year, maybe a great one, but Democratic excitement has likely reached the overhyped stage.
A pro-Israel Democratic advocacy group on Thursday released a framework intended to help the party better articulate its vision for the U.S. relationship with Israel, an issue that has deeply fractured Democrats this year and could lead to further divisions heading into the next presidential campaign.
President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance will both hit the campaign trail on Thursday, but they will be heading to heavily Republican areas to shore up lagging enthusiasm in their party ahead of next month's midterm elections.
The Small Business Act tells the federal government why small business contracting exists: to preserve free competitive enterprise, ensure small businesses receive a fair proportion of federal contracts, and strengthen the nation’s economy. If firms with $500 million in revenue are allowed to position themselves as “small” to access set-aside contracts, it would undermine the core […]

An Israeli-bound flight plunged toward disaster Wednesday. Passengers and crew acted to save lives. Saudi authorities helped the survivors. Meanwhile, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani was coming off a round of sukkah visits and promoting an antisemitism strategy that avoids defining antisemitism. The contrast deserves attention. An attempted hijacking of Flydubai Flight FZ1073, traveling from […]
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion, New Zealand quickly sent military personnel halfway across the globe to help prepare Ukrainian recruits for the front lines. For the past few years, this dynamic has remained static. Western countries provide the basic training, and Ukraine provides the manpower. Now, a prominent voice from New Zealand is arguing […]
The legal landscape around AI-generated speech is still evolving, but a recent decision in Montana offers a positive development for proponents of free speech. Earlier this year, the Montana-based interest group Accountability in State Government sent AI-doctored political mailers to voters. One depicted a legislator spraying cash from a gas pump to display his support […]
Americans are divided more than ever. We have been for quite some time. Do we have the right to bear arms? Do women have the right to an abortion? Is illegal immigration a deportable crime? Should masks still be required in lesbian bars in 2026? Americans can’t agree on anything. Some aren’t even sure if […]
At the Venice Film Festival, the Gaza documentary NAZA received a roughly 25-minute standing ovation and won the Special Jury Prize. Even its title announces the film’s frame. NAZA is a Hebrew military acronym meaning “collateral damage.” The film was directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. Before most of the public had […]
Closing time comes to every bar, and nobody acts surprised when the lights come up. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court let the Trump administration resume deporting people with final removal orders to countries other than their own while the justices hear the case in December. Predictably, the three left-leaning justices dissented. My view is simple. […]
I do not literally mean that every hot take I’ve seen about the recently revived 2024 Cornell rape allegation is terrible. Zachary Faria is correct that Democrats are accepting the accuser’s newly filed lawsuit far too credulously, without vetting Jane Doe’s claims, which would be galling if true. Defense attorney Andrew Fleischman is also right […]
Ju Biung-ghi, chairman of the Korea Fair Trade Commission, flew to New York recently for Fordham’s annual conference on international antitrust law and policy. Per Korean press reports, the purpose of the visit was to explain his government’s position as to how it treats American companies and to defuse a growing dispute with Washington. He […]
Democratic lawmakers want Congress to extend Medicare Part D’s premium stabilization program, which was created to shield seniors from sharp premium increases as the prescription drug benefit underwent major changes. Congress should let the program expire as planned after 2026. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says Part D insurers now have sufficient experience […]
Canada's assisted-suicide numbers, and shocking stories like Brigitte Stegemann’s, are a warning to America of where the euthanasia movement is headed.
The heads of state have gone home. For one week every September, New York fills with delegations from governments that spend the other 51 weeks collecting in the city. Then the motorcades leave, and the city goes back to running its own foreign policy. New York has an Office for International Affairs. Los Angeles, Chicago, […]
President Donald Trump put on a promiscuous display of fawning extravagance in welcoming the president of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, to the White House. The idea, one presumes, was to lavish the Chinese communist dictator with such a sheer volume of official state honor that he would be beguiled into returning the […]
Last Tuesday at the United Nations, two men stood at the same podium, hours apart, and told two very different stories about the same war. President Donald Trump said his administration had ended the fighting in Gaza and brought the hostages home. French President Emmanuel Macron, delivering his farewell address before stepping down next spring, […]
