I have kept quiet about this for far too long. I have worked in grassroots politics for decades — on local races, statewide races, presidential campaigns, and everything in between. I’ve watched hundreds of millions of dollars pour into elections, consultants come and go and campaigns rise and fall, while armies of conservative volunteers work […]

The U.S. Forest Service filed a proposed rule today to erase a 25-year-old federal restriction covering nearly 45 million acres of national forest. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says overgrown stands, insect outbreaks, and disease have turned healthy landscapes into tinderboxes. I’ve lived in California since 1990, long enough to watch the same story repeat itself […]
Free speech means the right to protest, criticize, and organize, including about Israel, including from Hollywood. It does not mean the right to be taken seriously regardless of whether the claims hold up, and it does not exempt celebrity activism from the same criticism that anyone else’s advocacy would face. That distinction keeps disappearing. Increasingly, […]
We’ve all become used to computer-generated scenes of disaster — of meteors thudding into the Earth with the force of a thousand nuclear explosions, seas engulfing cities, or people flash frozen mid-stride. There was something cinematic and unreal about the video from the Himalayas this week, showing what can be described as a flood, only […]

To be perfectly honest, I don’t know if I am emotionally ready for the 2026 college football season. Despite not attending the school or even being Catholic, I’ve been a Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan my entire life, and I’m still not over the first two games of last season. The Irish started the 2025 […]
At the Administration for Children's Services, life-or-death decisions about kids' safety are being made by folks who are just not very good at assessing...
Can one spoil a TV series based on a 125-year-old novel? I won’t, but let the record show that I badly want to. Netflix’s My Brilliant Career, a six-part adaptation of the book by Australia’s Miles Franklin, seems so obviously to be doing one thing that its reversal is a gut punch. I watched the […]
Lying to the government should not be any immigrant‘s method of entry into the United States, which is why the Trump administration’s proposed plan to revoke the tourist and business visas of approximately 200,000 asylum applicants is important and the right thing to do. “We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant […]
