The Supreme Court will soon decide whether to hear Suncor Energy Inc. v. Boulder, a case about energy companies and climate change that could determine whether America’s energy policy is effectively dictated by local judges scattered across the country, mostly in progressive enclaves. Boulder’s lawsuit pushes against more than energy companies; it challenges the structural constitutional […]

The horrific terrorist attack on National Guard members Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe by a 29-year-old Afghan national has rightly prompted the Trump administration to order a re-vetting of all Afghan nationals who were admitted into the United States since 2021 and a reinvestigation of all immigrants from 19 nations with a high terrorism nexus, […]
When President Donald Trump’s second-term national security strategy arrived last Friday, it landed like a lead balloon across the Atlantic. Yet while the unnecessarily harsh vitriol toward Europe is an American problem, the persistent shock and confusion among Europeans anytime Trump and his team say anything damning is very much a European one.

But not from all those who sit on the Supreme Court, where […]
The Left is once again in a tizzy, this time over comments made by Vice President JD Vance on the topic of immigration and assimilation. “What’s reasonable is to want to share a language with your neighbor. How do you borrow a cup of sugar? Resolve disagreements? Have a nice conversation? You need a common language, and in […]
Throughout the government shutdown, Democrats demanded that Congress extend the temporary COVID-19-era Obamacare subsidies. This week, Senate Democrats are expected to bring this matter to a vote. But their bill will likely be even worse than a simple extension. The Democrats’ bill would spend roughly $300 billion over three years to continue these expanded subsidies […]
