Dozens are believed to be dead and at least 100 people injured after a fire tore through a bar in a Swiss ski resort town amid a New Year’s celebration, law enforcement said Thursday. The fire occurred at the Le Constellation bar in the Swiss ski resort town of Crans-Montana early Thursday morning, authorities said, according to The Associated Press. "Our...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly contentious policy issue over the past year, as lawmakers have grappled with the impact of the rapidly developing technology that has moved markets, influenced geopolitics and become largely unavoidable in daily life. Key issues — like who should decide regulations, how to balance the push for innovation with the potential risks and how to best compete with China — have...
“I’ve grown deeply concerned,” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), a physician, told Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during a blistering Senate hearing earlier this month. The Wyoming senator warned that “safe, proven vaccines like measles, like hepatitis B, and others, could be in jeopardy.” Less than 200 days after Kennedy promised the Senate he wouldn’t touch vaccine access, he’s […]
I’m haunted, as many are, by the prospect that we may have lost our country for good this week. In his column on Friday, Washington Examiner Editor-in-Chief Hugo Gurdon contrasted the assassination of Charlie Kirk with the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump in Butler last year.

Charlie Kirk was shockingly assassinated on the Utah Valley University campus earlier this week. A giant among conservatives, he was also a man of great faith, husband, son, and father. I run my eyes over the word “assassinated,” but my mind still cannot catch up with what my eyes have processed. My heart is heavy. Like […]
The Nation’s Report Card, released last week, shows the K-12 school system as bad and getting worse. A record 32% of high school seniors cannot read proficiently, and almost half cannot do basic math. Fourth and eighth-grade math and reading scores also fell, continuing a collapse that began before the COVID-19 school closures. The new […]
As New York City‘s mayoral race ossifies, with the leading candidates all short of a clear majority, the city, despite its lackluster choices for leaders, is still thriving. In Central Park, trees tower, statues shine, and more than 400 species of birds sing. On Manhattan’s avenues, sidewalks teem, stores bustle, and towers rise, sentinels over […]
