California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Saturday signed a legislation package aimed at safeguarding the state’s election process against potential interference in the upcoming midterm elections.

FBI Director Kash Patel said Saturday the agency used AI to stop half a dozen school shootings and upped its use of the technology by 605 percent since he took the position.

The Trump administration began construction on a portion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall cutting through southwest Texas’s Big Bend region despite local leaders' pushback against the project. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told the Associated Press Friday that installation of 30-foot panels was already underway along this portion southern border.

After President Trump announced this week he was banning Politico, CNN and MS NOW from accessing the White House, the three media outlets reported Saturday their journalists were denied access to the executive premises. White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) President Jacqui Heinrich called on the White House to “immediately” restore access to these journalists and...
Americans have the power to insist their governments prioritize public safety, but it’ll be a constant struggle until pro-crime Dems start losing en masse,...
The democratic ritual of a centralized autocracy is playing out once again across Russia. Millions of citizens are heading to the polls. To an outside observer, the scenes look entirely familiar. Campaign posters line the city streets. Heavily produced television debates are broadcast into living rooms. Long lines of citizens wait to cast their paper […]
“I am a Jew.” Those four words should be an ordinary declaration of identity. At a prayer vigil outside the New York mayor’s office on Sept. 18, they became a statement of resolve. Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz, senior rabbi of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun in Manhattan, built his remarks around “Ivri Anochi,” עברי אנכי, drawing on the […]
What piece of everyday athletic gear, applied in urban areas to the buttocks, turns normal people into raging, homicidal, suicidal, antisocial maniacs? The bicycle seat. Bicycling in cities is prima-facie evidence of insanity. Yes, bike lanes indicate where cars mustn’t go, but a) drivers aren’t looking for bicyclists; b) drivers don’t care about bicyclists; and […]
Nearly every woman carries the fear of becoming a victim of a violent crime. She may not always say it, but every time she walks to the office, takes her children on an errand run, or double-checks the lock on her front door at night, there is an underlying calculation of what she needs to […]
Nearly 20 million students have returned to America’s college campuses. Those of us who have spent our lives inside universities never tire of it.

President Donald Trump can deliver a timely economic win before the holiday shopping season by using the new U.S.-China Board of Trade to reduce tariffs on everyday consumer goods.

When the chief executive of one of the world’s most powerful artificial intelligence companies says that his industry must slow down, we should listen. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently warned that AI capabilities are advancing faster than our ability to understand and control them. His concern — and much of the public debate — centers […]
The recent 7th Circuit opinion permitting in-home possession of AI-generated child sexual abuse material raises many questions regarding the relationship between protected speech and generative AI. While most people would say CSAM of any child — real or virtual — should be illegal, the decision relies on precedent from the 2002 Ashcroft v. Free Speech […]
In traditional diplomacy, progress is usually slow. The Trump administration does not follow that old script. When President Donald Trump renewed his demand to acquire Greenland earlier this year, foreign policy experts panicked. Critics dismissed the idea immediately, calling it entirely unrealistic. Yet, the United States, Denmark, and Greenland are now preparing to sign a […]
Is West Bank settler violence the hill that Israel’s friends want to die on? I ask as a lifelong admirer of the Jewish state. I marvel at the achievement of maintaining an open society in a lawless region. I remember the warm glow I felt, two decades ago, when the IDF general who had laid […]
