A small group of White House officials is exploring whether to cut back President Donald Trump’s decision to increase foreign beef imports, as GOP panic rises ahead of the...
Angela Paxton urged GOP voters to back Ken Paxton's Texas Senate bid despite their divorce, saying the party seat matters more than personal grievances.
President Joe Biden is blowing a fleeting U.S. opportunity to shape the direction of post-Bashar al-Assad Syria in the U.S. national interest. Assad was responsible for the mass starvation of and repeated chemical weapons attacks against the Syrian people. His regime killed many hundreds of thousands between 2011 and 2024. Assad was also a close […]
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) apparently isn’t too badly hurt after a fall during an official congressional visit to Luxembourg, so as we wish her a speedy recovery, there’s no harm in a little levity about another of Pelosi’s travel experiences. She wasn’t “fallen” then, but for a few seconds, there was some confusion. […]
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is on a mission to remake his political image into one that is palatable to a new political state of affairs and recognizes the fact that his home state of Pennsylvania just voted for President-elect Donald Trump. Fetterman’s latest rebranding effort began with meeting with some of Trump’s more controversial Cabinet […]
The socialist wing of the Democratic Party is a little too eager to show its communist roots these days, with its most prominent members all but outright saying UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson deserved to be killed. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) also soft-pedaled the killing of Thompson, […]
Caitlin Clark is a white woman who is exceptional at playing basketball. Clark’s skill level propelled her to stardom for a sport that lagged in viewership and attendance. After years, decades even, of people failing to tune in to watch women’s basketball at the collegiate and professional level, Clark played a primary role in changing […]
NOW WE KNOW HOW MANY SECRET SOURCES THE FBI HAD ON JAN. 6, BUT WHAT DID THEY DO? It took years, but now we know the number of secret informants the FBI had in Washington during the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021. What we don’t know is what they did. In a long-awaited report, Michael Horowitz, […]
Last month, voters delivered a resounding endorsement of the American dream — the idea that you can become anything you want as long as you are willing to work for it. By electing Donald Trump and Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress, our voters rejected four years of failed policies that destroyed full-time jobs, […]
If not for one momentous decision in 1976, Mississippi’s Clarke Reed would be considered one of the great heroes of the Republican Party renaissance of the latter 20th century. The reality that he spent his last 48 years detested by a swath of Reaganite activists should not obscure his larger contributions to the cause. Journalist-historian […]
A senior federal employee lamented to me recently about work fights he has with lawyers. It would be bad enough if these pitted him against attorneys launching lawsuits against his department, but it’s not. His diurnal conflicts are with lawyers on his own side. They constantly press him not to go ahead with one innovation […]
Though Stanley Tucci is a Hollywood A-lister, starring alongside Ralph Fiennes in this year’s Oscar-contending Conclave, for instance, and in crowd pleasers such as the Hunger Games films, he has cooked up a public persona somehow more associated with food than acting. Tucci has honed a character as a famous epicure that rivals the ones […]
Last year, the Economist warned that “Javier Milei would be a danger for democracy in Argentina” on the eve of his election. Twelve months on, that global voice of “Sensible Centrism” has changed its tune: “Javier Milei’s reforms hold lessons for the world.” You can see its point. In his first year, the Argentine president […]
CNN suffered a huge setback in a Florida court on Dec. 9 when a state judge denied the network’s efforts to dismiss a case against a Navy veteran who helped civilians flee the country in the final days of President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Zachary Young was running a security consulting company in […]
President-elect Donald Trump‘s fraught, tempestuous, yet ultimately empowering relationship with the legal system has defined his political career. It dominated his first term, continued to play a critical role during his antipresidency, and is now poised to exert a decisive influence on his second administration. It will do so in the same forms it has […]
