The New York Knicks are a lovable and amazing basketball team. They won Game 1 of the NBA Finals by coming back a 14-point deficit, and scoring the last 11 points of the game. They won Game 2 by a single point. It’s great viewing. It’s too bad the games go so late. The Knicks’ […]
Obituaries for the late Oregon Republican Sen. Bob Packwood this week all note that the liberal, pro-choice Republican resigned amid an ethics investigation that revealed years of sexually harassing women on Capitol Hill.

If you want people to have faith in elections, you must conduct them in a transparent and timely fashion. It is the opposite of what California does, which is why the conspiracy theories about California’s elections cannot simply be dismissed as wild and unfounded. The Los Angeles mayoral race will be decided in a runoff […]
Officials in California have been warning the public for days that counting the state’s primary election votes, and thus determining which candidates have qualified for general election runoffs, is a process that could drag on for weeks. This isn’t terribly new or unusual in the Golden State; in 2024, for instance, one congressional race wasn’t […]
As global soccer fans prepare for the quadrennial World Cup tournament, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada and starting on Thursday, FIFA President Gianni Infantino is riding high.

For the past several years, America’s conversation about artificial intelligence has focused on technology. We debate computer chips, data centers, and the capabilities of the latest AI models.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s accusation that Elon Musk is “interfering” and “whipping up division” in British politics over the tragic Henry Nowak case establishes a troubling precedent for democratic discourse. Musk’s involvement consisted of public commentary on a social media platform. Reasonable people may disagree with his conclusions, but criticism of state institutions — […]
The 13th Amendment abolished slavery. What follows the abolition, separated by the word “except,” has been generating litigation and constitutional argument for 60 years. Most Americans can’t identify it. Section 1 is 39 words and worth reading before the argument about it proceeds any further. “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for […]
Recently in Rome, I was one of only 10 Americans present when Pope Leo XIV issued Magnifica Humanitas, the first encyclical of his pontificate. As the Holy Father unveiled what will likely become one of the defining moral texts on artificial intelligence, the convergence was hard to miss: on AI, the Catholic Church and much […]
This year marks roughly fifty years since the modern biotechnology era began — an era defined by recombinant DNA, monoclonal antibodies, genomics, and platform technologies once belonging to science fiction.

According to the standards Democrats set in 2018, Graham Platner must drop out of the 2026 Senate race in Maine.
