U.S. counterterrorism agencies monitor suspected sleeper cells following joint strikes on Iran that killed Ayatollah Khamenei, amid fears of retaliation.
Democrats are watching with glee and Republicans are aghast as the Heritage Foundation implodes over its leadership’s relationship with commentator Tucker Carlson and his softball interview with Nick Fuentes, an antisemitic white nationalist. Heritage board members and scholars have resigned in outrage. Principle matters more than a good job. Scholars such as Chris DeMuth, Stephen […]
The BBC, the biggest broadcaster in the world, is in turmoil. Where there is turmoil, these days it’s also common to find President Donald Trump. So it is in this case. He is threatening a $1 billion lawsuit. The BBC’s two topmost executives, Director General Tim Davie and Deborah Turness, chief executive of the news […]
Somewhere along the line, conservatism abandoned faith in good journalism and became a cult of personality — or personalities. We made celebrities out of people like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, whose thinking is often paranoid and whose work is sloppy. The result is the current implosion in conservative media, triggered by the reckless antisemitism […]
Eight centrist Senate Democrats took the brave step of crossing their party’s rabid base to cut a deal with Senate Republicans and end the federal government shutdown Sunday night.

Sharaa’s former status as a dedicated jihadist makes him a highly unlikely American partner. Still, Trump has a fragile but nevertheless substantial opportunity to help shape Sharaa in favor of all Syrians and Middle […]
WHY DID DEMOCRATS FIGHT SO LONG — BEFORE CAVING? The government shutdown lasted 40 days before Senate Democrats abandoned the filibuster that closed offices, left workers without paychecks, threatened supplemental food benefits for millions, began a gradual shutdown of the commercial aviation system, and much more. The question is: Why did those Democrats hold out for […]
If you are so unfortunate as to be on social media, you might have noticed that the alt-right is furious with women in the aftermath of the 2025 elections. The X algorithm’s favorite cesspools are riddled with anonymous accounts calling for “repealing the 19th Amendment” (women’s suffrage) and uttering 280-character imprecations against the “longhouse” (its […]
