Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro joins 23 states suing USPS over Trump-backed mail-ballot rule, arguing Congress—not the president or Postal Service—sets federal election rules.
I winced too. When I saw they were holding a UFC fight on the White House lawn to kick off America’s 250th birthday, something in me reached for the word tacky before I finished the thought. A cage match? For the Declaration of Independence? Then I caught myself, because I know where that reflex comes […]
Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) signed legislation in April 2026 committing the state’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote — regardless of how Virginians actually voted. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s the law. And it moves the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to 222 electoral votes — 82% of the 270 needed […]
As a homeschool father of eight children, an attorney with the Home School Legal Defense Association, and a lieutenant colonel in the Alaska Air National Guard, I am thrilled to see members of Congress spearhead legislation to support our men and women in uniform and their families. Legislation introduced in Congress last week will allow […]
President Donald Trump is enjoying an extra dose of schadenfreude this morning after Tuesday night’s primary election results in New York City. Never Trumper and political rival George Conway was absolutely humiliated in a Democratic congressional primary. It was a stunning example of Conway’s narcissism and egotism.

People want healthier food, and voters have passed laws requiring better standards for how that food is produced. American family farmers are meeting those standards. But corporate pork interests, including foreign-owned Smithfield, are pressuring Congress to roll back those standards. That is the fight over the so-called Save Our Bacon Act, which lawmakers should keep […]
As artificial intelligence reaches human replacement-level capability, it is about to cut a swath of destruction through the American workforce, leaving millions of employees to deal with the mental, economic, and social consequences. Along with a mentor at the University of Florida, Dr. Joseph Thornton, we published a paper last year outlining a clinical construct […]
As America’s 250th birthday approaches, it is fitting that one of our country’s greatest inventions is having a moment. Franchising, with roots in the nation’s founding and Benjamin Franklin’s printing press, is everywhere this summer. Pizza Hut has tapped into the desire for nostalgia with its retro dining rooms, complete with iconic red plastic cups and stained-glass lampshades. […]
Tuesday morning, Savannah Guthrie sat at the desk where she has anchored the news for millions of people and begged anyone with information about her mother to come forward. “Somebody knows something,” she said. “We are in agony and we cannot be at peace. This is a moment to tell you we need your help. […]
“The great masses of the people … will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.” Adolf Hitler, 1925. In May 2026, the New York Times published an opinion article by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Nicholas Kristof alleging widespread sexual violence by Israeli authorities against Palestinians. Kristof “exposes” a pattern […]
American foreign assistance can be a powerful instrument of good — but is best when it is managed with discipline, strategic intent, and genuine accountability. We know this from direct experience running foreign assistance at the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development during the first Trump administration. The lesson was unambiguous: The effectiveness […]
As we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday, we should consider the influence our national parks and monuments have on our people and heritage. Many of these locations are designed to honor our rich history, which is filled with positives that changed the world for the better. Principles of liberty, justice, and democratic representative government were […]
