BEAVER, Pennsylvania — Josh Shapiro has spent 20 years in Pennsylvania politics, and every time he has seen one party simultaneously control the governor’s office, the state House, and the state Senate, that party has been the Republicans. He took notes. “My only frame of reference over the last 20 years in Pennsylvania, the trifecta, […]
Next week’s midterm elections will give voters in a couple of Democrat-run states the opportunity to roll back transgender ideology and protect children from the injustice and medical malpractice Democrats are allowing to be inflicted upon them. Voters in both Washington state and Colorado will be able to choose to keep male athletes out of […]
Relations between the United Kingdom and Israel are at their lowest point since the U.K. restricted arms supplies to the Jewish state during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The current malaise flows from the U.K.’s recent ban on trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Israel responded furiously to those sanctions, heavily restricting operations […]
Election Day is almost here, and early voting is already underway in several states. The clock is ticking for candidates searching for that last, salient issue to move voters. As Republicans fight to hold the House, a clear opportunity is sitting right in front of them: taking a meaningful stance on lowering prescription drug prices. […]
Cancer medicine had an extraordinary weekend in Madrid. At the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress, Amgen’s Imdelltra, added to AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi as maintenance therapy for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer, cut the risk of death by 58%. Median survival rose from just under 13 months to a little over 21 months. Then came another landmark […]
As Israel’s general election arrives, almost everyone seems to agree that it is time for a change in leadership. Critics are loudly calling for a new government to heal the country’s social fractures, mend broken trust, and move past recent trauma. That frustration makes sense. However, having spent my career studying public policy, institutional health, […]
Two 18-year-olds, one in Israel and one in America, both Jewish, are about to vote for the first time, a week apart. Israelis go to the polls on Tuesday; Americans on Nov. 3. One may be drawn to Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit. The other may be drawn to a candidate backed by the Democratic Socialists […]
In 1978, a 12-year-old girl told authorities her stepfather had raped her. A grand jury indicted him, but he fled the state and was never convicted. That girl is Amy Acton, now the Democratic nominee for governor of Ohio. Last week, her Republican opponent, Vivek Ramaswamy, put millions behind an ad in which Acton’s estranged […]
I served in the 101st Airborne, the 82nd Airborne, and Army Special Forces. I’m a disabled veteran and an Ohio voter. I expect candidates to answer hard questions about their records. I also care about what they’re willing to do to win. Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign has given me reason to question his judgment. Most of […]
In the early 1920s, Haj Amin al Husseini, the newly appointed grand mufti of Jerusalem, crystallized the expectation that the nascent Zionist enterprise would be crushed. Jewish immigration, sparked by a spike in pogroms, mostly in Eastern European lands, had been rising since the 1880s, and Arab opposition was quick to follow. But al Husseini, […]
As early voting gets underway, here’s the political advice I’d plant in every Democratic candidate’s brain: If you couldn’t mention President Donald Trump for five minutes, could you still explain why Americans should vote for you? It’s a question worth asking as Democrats fight to reclaim the House of Representatives. Opposing Trump is a powerful […]
Former President Barack Obama took to the campaign trail over the weekend to rejuvenate Democratic voters and take aim at President Donald Trump. He offered a snarky remark about Trump’s renovations to the White House that, like many of the criticisms Obama makes, didn’t really make any sense. The 44th president blasted Trump for installing […]
