For years, much of the American Left has portrayed the housing crisis (rising rents, soaring prices, and falling affordability) as proof that markets fail at delivering basic needs. The remedies followed: rent control, vast public housing, and “social housing” schemes. Congress just delivered a different verdict. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a merger […]

The Supreme Court handed Republicans a significant advantage this week, ruling in NRSC v. FEC political parties have expanded flexibility to coordinate spending with their own candidates. Having spent more than a decade raising money for Republican Senate campaigns, I can tell you plainly what this means in practice: the single most frustrating conversation in […]

The Supreme Court closed its term last week by opening the one every Second Amendment lawyer in the country has been waiting for. On June 30, the justices granted certiorari in Viramontes v. Cook County, consolidated with a companion case out of Connecticut, and agreed to decide whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect the […]

Most Americans have no idea that Congress is a step closer to making a dangerous decision: allowing bigger, heavier tractor-trailers onto the roads they use every day. The proposal sounds technical, which is exactly why it may escape public notice. But buried in the highway bill in Congress is a plan to let states raise […]

Unable to achieve significant gains on the battlefield, Russia has once again turned to terrorizing Ukraine’s civilian population. It launched a massive attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region using drones and ballistic missiles. According to the latest reports, 34 people were injured and ten were killed. Meanwhile, Washington continues to debate how the war […]

There’s no denying that socialism’s appeal among Americans is growing, especially among Democrats and the young. The consensus of recent polls confirms this. In Gallup’s last major national survey, only 54% of Americans view capitalism positively — the lowest level Gallup has ever recorded, and 39% view socialism positively. Among Democrats, a whopping 66% view […]

The Democratic Party’s radical leftward shift now threatens one of the Constitution’s clearest safeguards.  Shifts once considered impossible — such as senior Republican voices defending Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities as “self-defense” or prominent voices on both sides downplaying Hamas — reveal how fast norms erode when ideological extremists seize control. The same purge that sidelined […]

A nation’s first duty is its own self‑preservation. That is what sovereignty really means: the right, and the will, to continue to exist as a coherent political order, to govern one’s own destiny rather than have it dictated by outside forces or by the inertia of one’s own legal abstractions. When a nation forgets this, […]

President Donald Trump just temporarily suspended the countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizer from the Kingdom of Morocco, providing relief to farm families reliant on this important nutrient. The original justification for the duties was, in part, to support and protect domestic production. Yet, since the duties were imposed, the U.S. has seen reduced domestic phosphate […]

The recent string of primary electoral victories by fringe left-wing candidates operating under the cover of the Democratic Party, though it is a repeat movement, has many people panicking. There is no need to panic. This movement will eat itself with infighting and intra-ideological betrayal as was seen in Ira Kipnis’ work, The American Socialist […]

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani boasted this week that his $125.8 billion budget proves socialists “understand economics” and that his administration “budgeted honestly.” In reality, his supposed fiscal triumph is anything but honest. It relies heavily on fiscal gimmickry, a huge bailout from Albany, and accounting maneuvers that push fiscal pain into the future. […]
