The latest poll shows the incumbent Republican leading her opponent, local lawmaker Troy Jackson, whom the Democrats dropped in to replace Graham Platner.
Chinese President Xi Jinping said Thursday that two giant pandas from China will arrive at Zoo Atlanta in the coming days, bolstering a loan program that at one time had lapsed as part of tensions between Beijing and Washington.
Increasingly anxious about the Iran war, senators are set to vote Thursday on a war powers resolution seeking to halt President Donald Trump's military action, which has been largely blamed for the spike in fuel prices and become a flashpoint in the midterm election.
At first glance, it looks like a typical Republican campaign advertisement. As images of President Donald Trump flash across the screen, the 30-second spot says "America will never be a communist country" and boasts about the "largest tax cuts in history."
The American Right has spent years warning about the dangers of concentrated government power. Republican lawmakers and pundits have rightly decried Democrats’ race toward socialism this election cycle. Yet, which of these heralds will turn the party’s scrutiny toward its own embrace of that power? Growing acceptance of tariffs, deficit spending, and top-down mandates impacting […]
In conservative and largely online circles, the term “NETTR” has gained traction. It stands for “no enemies to the right.” The underlying thinking is that those to one’s left are the enemies, and those to one’s right, just by mere placement, can’t be. It sounds good in theory: that “owning the Libs” matters most of […]
For years, Washington has argued over a question that shouldn’t have been hard in the first place: Should automakers — companies that collect billions in federal subsidies and incentives — get to yank free AM radio out of dashboards, just as cars turn into rolling computers stuffed with connected infotainment systems that Big Auto and […]
In more than two dozen years of national community relations work, I have learned to listen not only to what people say about Israel, but to what they never say about anyone else. That silence is public. It is a tell. A person can march on campus and storm city councils over Israel and still […]
In a recent op-ed, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. laid out a clear, urgent vision for the future of our healthcare system, noting the central role of prevention as one of our most powerful tools in medicine. As a physician, I could not agree more, but achieving that vision requires a […]
We call it the “rare disease community,” but there is nothing rare about the number of Americans whose lives are touched by these diseases. Cancer afflicts 18 million Americans. Comparatively, an estimated 30 million Americans — roughly 1 in 10 — live with a rare disease. Individually, the more than 7,000 rare diseases affect relatively […]
Enough. I have tried making this argument politely. I have tried making it historically. I have tried making it legally. So let me make it as plainly as possible: Lemkin Institute, give the Lemkin family back its name. You don’t own it. You didn’t earn it. And you should not get to wrap your political […]
Every day in America, a grandfather walks into the dermatologist’s office, the doctor examines a concerning mole, then removes it during the same visit. Medicare may pay for the office visit and the procedure separately, at close to full price. That’s one visit but two charges, and grandpa owes coinsurance on both. This could be […]
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal on Monday night during an interview on CNN, labeling him the “architect of a horrific genocide of the Palestinian people.” Out of curiosity, I turned to Google to check the actual legal definition of genocide. According to the website of […]
This month, the people building artificial intelligence warned that it could end humanity. Before we reach for the panic button, look at what actually occurred this summer. Let’s begin with a solid … your computer is not about to kill you; it is software. In July, OpenAI placed a model in a sealed testing environment […]
In 1998, Troy Demar stabbed Christine Allen to death in the Fairfax County home they shared. Her daughter was 3 months old. A judge sent him away for 40 years. This month, 7News reported that Virginia’s Parole Board let him out. One board member said this on the record: “You have done so much; you’ve […]
From the clutter of midterm election poll results, it’s possible sometimes to see new patterns of political support emerging. The overall pattern, as it stands, makes some sense. As in the 2006 and 2018 off-year cycles, the Republican president’s job approval had sagged to well below 50%. Polls at this point in the year showed […]
Over the past week, the Washington Examiner reported that Air Force Secretary Troy Meink confirmed the existence of on-orbit space-control weapons. A day later, the outlet reported Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, telling service members to prepare to fight, endure, and win in contested environments stretching from the seabed […]
Every few years, academic circles and state-backed media on the Chinese mainland resurrect the prospect of a “peaceful reunification” under the framework of “One Country, Two Systems.” Recently, cross-strait academic circles discussed a 12-point proposal floated by mainland scholars mapping out a post-unification reality for Taiwan. The proposal suggested timelines for disarmament and local governance […]
