The Post-Roe Abortion Cause Is Still Finding Ways to Loosen the Law

Several ballot initiatives this fall aim to codify the right to abortion and more.

On Michigan, keep big picture in mind

ON MICHIGAN, KEEP BIG PICTURE IN MIND. The first thing to say about Abdul el Sayed’s victory in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary is that it’s not a story about polls. OK, it is a story about polls — they were really, really bad, and el Sayed’s win was much narrower than predicted — but that […]

Glenn Youngkin makes the case for new federal education tax credits in Pennsylvania

EVERETT, Pennsylvania — On a humid stretch of late summer, in the kind of Pennsylvania where school buses still trace two-lane roads past cornfields and corner diners, education policy rarely arrives as a headline. Instead, it shows up in quieter ways. For example, a parent asking about tutoring after a shift change, or a grandparent […]

Mamdani Marts will offer real-time Econ 101 lessons

One of the upsides of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s $70 million state-run supermarket project is that it allows rational Americans to watch socialism fail in real time.  Mamdani Marts promise to provide 30% discounts on core grocery items, which means they’ll be heavily subsidized by taxpayers. Most grocery chains already operate with a slim […]

Good riddance to Cori Bush

The Democratic Party is in the midst of nominating as many racists and antisemites as it can find. As such, any of those candidates losing provides a nice respite from the bleak headlines about the hateful candidates who win. The former group includes former Rep. Cori Bush. Rep. Wesley Bell handily defeated Bush in the […]

Surrogacy needs federal regulation

“I felt like it was such a transactional experience,” Khloe Kardashian said on Season 3 of The Kardashians. “It’s not about [the baby]. I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it.” Whether it is gestational surrogacy — in which the surrogate has no genetic relationship to the child — or traditional […]

Rats, and the fleas that live on them, can be carriers of deadly diseases — including typhus, a bacteria-borne, fever-like illness that is rocking...

The radicals won the Dem civil war — we’ll all pay the price

El-Sayed’s triumph marks not the beginning of the end for the party’s old guard, but the final nail in its coffin.

With Abdul el Sayed win, Michigan Democrats fall to the Mamdani Left

As the dust settles on the Michigan Senate primaries, Republican candidate Mike Rogers must be popping open a bottle of champagne right now in celebration of the results. Not due to his own primary — he ran uncontested — but the Democratic primary, where radical leftist Abdul el Sayed has defeated moderate Rep. Haley Stevens […]

When a congressman is hitting on his staffers, it’s worse when he’s married

Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) is dropping his reelection bid amid a House Ethics Committee investigation into his behavior that includes hitting on his young female staffers, asking them out on dates, and excessively expressing his too-warm feelings for them. Read the NPR coverage of Edwards’s behavior, and you’ll get many of the cringey details, absent […]

America is having the wrong data center conversation — and its shooting us in the foot

America is having the wrong conversation about data centers, and if we don’t get the conversation right, we risk talking ourselves out of our own national competitiveness. Across the country, communities are debating new projects. Questions are being raised about grid impact, water usage, land development, tax structures, and local quality of life. Those concerns […]

AI models are escaping their cages. It’s time for a kill switch

Concerns are growing about the national security implications of artificial intelligence. As frontier AI models grow more capable, their ability to break free from their controls grows with them. Case in point: the recent OpenAI and Anthropic incidents. According to recent disclosures, OpenAI’s most powerful models not only went rogue and hacked the AI open-source […]

Data centers generate billions. So why is your tax bill going up?

Opposition to data centers has become a threat to the computing capacity America’s AI buildout requires. In a Gallup poll conducted in March, 71% of adults opposed a data center near them — far more than the 53% who opposed a nearby nuclear plant. Data Center Watch counted at least 75 projects worth roughly $130 […]

The conservative case for a market-based immigration system

Is population growth a bad thing? Much of the Left believes it is, and some of their unlikely allies on the Right have started to agree. The Left tends to see people as polluters, which makes every additional birth a burden on the planet. Some self-styled conservatives reach the same destination by a different road: […]

Wiping your own phone is now a federal crime — if you do it at the airport

Customs and Border Protection personnel searched more than 55,000 phones, laptops, and tablets at the border last year, a number that has climbed sixfold since 2015, even though it still touches only a small fraction of the more than 400 million travelers the agency processed. Most of those searches turn up nothing more interesting than […]
