Sen. Bernard Sanders has joined the chorus of elected leaders calling on Graham Platner to drop out of the Maine Senate race -- a move that could put a final nail in the Democrat's political coffin and clear the way for the state party to pick a replacement.
Democrats are bringing the knives out for Graham Platner, their Senate nominee in Maine, after another set of misconduct accusations. This isn’t something being done out of some moral principle, though. It’s being done because they’re scared he is going to cost them control of the Senate. Platner is being accused of sexual assault by an ex-girlfriend, […]

At the G7 summit in Evian last week, the leaders issued their first joint declaration since President Donald Trump returned to office, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called it “a real success.” After a year of trade friction, a drawdown of American troops from Germany, and open strain between the two men, the change in […]
The Food and Drug Administration is about to decide whether a scientific word can become a regulatory loophole. On July 23 and 24, the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee is scheduled to consider whether several peptides should be added to the list of bulk drug substances that may be used in pharmacy compounding. That sounds […]
A union leader recently announced he was leaving the Democratic Party. His stated reason was blunt: The party, increasingly influenced by the Democratic Socialists of America and aligned activist networks, is no longer primarily focused on working people. It has been captured by anti-capitalist ideologues and factions whose priorities are ideological transformation and foreign policy […]
Washington is about to hand a single agency responsibility for a trillion-dollar market. Whether that turns out to be a triumph or a debacle depends on whether the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is ready. For years, regulatory uncertainty has hindered the development of the U.S. digital asset industry. Innovation has moved offshore, companies have faced […]
Iran’s leaders call survival a victory. After a year in which the United States and Israel dismantled the Islamic Republic’s military, gutted its nuclear program, and killed its supreme leader, the regime’s surviving officials insist that merely enduring is triumph enough.

The order forced the company to disable both models worldwide. Days later, Beijing-based Zhipu rolled out GLM-5.2, a near-frontier, open-weight system that users could download and run locally. […]
The Success Academy's just-released report on New York City public-school failure is so shocking and troubling that even anti-charter-school teachers unions should be shaking...
A quarter of a millennium ago, the United States was founded. Unlike other global powers of that era, which were ruled by despotic kings wielding nearly absolute authority over their subjects, the U.S. distinguished itself as the first nation in history to establish sovereignty with its people protected by a system of separate powers among […]
Protests targeting “Zionists” in America quickly crossed partisan lines. Antifa-aligned and “social justice” networks on the Left turned campuses and cities into sites of disruption and eliminationist rhetoric. Right-wing groups such as Patriot Front ran parallel actions with banners like “No Zionists in Government,” advancing antisemitic appeals inside white-nationalist programs. Both represent collectivist extremism. Fascism […]
