Oops. A honcho with the LA teachers union (UTLA) is saying the quiet part out loud. As the California Post reported: Julie Van Winkle, UTLA AFT vice president and...
A Utah judge on Monday ordered a 71-year-old man who spent decades on death row for a 1985 killing to be released on bail, despite objections from the victim's family, after prosecutors said newly analyzed DNA evidence did not match him.
The White House has spent days fiercely defending three taxpayer-funded advertisements that glorify President Donald Trump and are nearing at least $1.5 million in public spending, calling them public service announcements like those used in past administrations.
As an Air Force veteran who serviced aircraft that flew to Vietnam, I got to see a side of our military that most people don’t know about. I am talking about the backbreaking behind-the-scenes work that got our planes airborne and back again. I was a refueler and a liquid oxygen expert, both almost foreign-language […]
Two years removed from the train wreck of the Biden-Harris era, the American Left still has a major credibility crisis. Stinging from the generational inflation of the Biden years, they are desperate to center the 2026 midterm elections on “affordability.” Meanwhile, they continue pushing climate policies that are driving prices even higher. New York is […]
Throughout American history, housing has been one of the clearest expressions of opportunity, stability, and community. But every generation has faced housing challenges. Today is no different: Many communities understand the problem yet remain trapped by systems that make solutions difficult to implement. This summer, the landmark 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law. […]
In the space of one week, the people building artificial intelligence told the world it could end all of humanity. This month, Evan Hubinger, lead of Alignment Science at Anthropic, put in his own odds, “We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade.” […]
A family can use less air conditioning, switch off lights, and cut its electricity use. Those efforts mean less if its utility bill also includes the cost of serving a new data center. Republicans should insist that companies bear the risks of their own investments. Paying an electric bill is not an agreement to invest […]
The Facilitating Useful Loss Limitations to Help Our Unique Service Economy, or FULL HOUSE Act, a bill that would correct an inequitable new gambling provision, has swiftly moved through the House Ways and Means Committee with bipartisan support. The legislation is designed to restore fair tax deductions of 100% of gambling losses against winnings. The […]
Greenland is indisputably the front line of American homeland defense. For decades, Washington relied on a passive 1951 security framework that left the vast, icy periphery vulnerable to great-power maneuvering. That changed on Tuesday, when a historic trilateral defense pact in New York executed a vital strategic pivot. By expanding Pituffik Space Base, reclaiming the […]
When the Iran war began in February, CBS News conducted a prescient poll in the first week of the campaign, probing immediate support for the military strikes and whether that support would last. Specifically, CBS found that 76% of Americans who expected the conflict to last days or weeks approved of the military action. Approval […]
The Washington Examiner reported Saturday that President Donald Trump plans to create an “AI Force” led by an artificial intelligence czar. The announcement was broad. As of Sept. 22, public reporting still has not established where the force would sit, what authorities it would hold, or which mission would distinguish it from agencies already handling […]
I spent Yom Kippur doing what Jews have done for generations. I fasted. I prayed. I stood alongside other Jews and declared God King. I asked forgiveness. I prayed for my family, my community, the Jewish people, and a better year ahead. Brad Lander spent part of his Yom Kippur at Grand Army Plaza declaring […]
The shale revolution made the United States the world’s largest oil producer. Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing turned once-uneconomic resources into enormous producing basins, pushed U.S. output to record levels, and changed the global oil market. But that playbook is maturing. Shale wells decline quickly, and the highest-quality drilling inventory is finite. Maintaining American production […]
My own kids' experience in Title I, majority-Latino schools shows that race and income doesn't drive educational failure: Low standards and uncommitted teachers do.
