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.
Data centers have become the new top scapegoat in American energy politics. Towns are freezing data center building projects, governors are piling on conditions, and Senate candidates are promising a pause, all while the argument stays fixed on the data center itself. What almost no one is fixing is the reason bills are rising in […]
Every single day, millions of Americans assume that dialing 911 guarantees an immediate digital lifeline. It does not. The reality behind our national emergency response system reveals a dangerous operational crisis. Our infrastructure is buckling. Across the country, local public safety answering points handle an estimated 240 million calls annually. This is according to data […]
Organ donation is one of the most selfless acts one human being can do for another. Our nation is home to thousands of these heroes like Cpl. Jacob Douglas Robert Brandon, a proud Marine who, in his passing, gave the gift of sight to two people in need and healed countless others through tissue donation. […]
There is tremendous concern that artificial intelligence could eventually become capable of destroying humanity itself. The scenarios vary, but share the same fear: an AI becomes extraordinarily intelligent, pursues an objective that conflicts with human interests, and comes to regard humans as obstacles. It might exploit biological research and gain control of a laboratory to […]
For 26 years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has delayed safety reviews for the dangerous chemical abortion drug mifepristone and defied every attempt to subject the drug to normal medical scrutiny. Still, the FDA claims, as it recently told the 5th Circuit during oral arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, pro-life states such as Louisiana […]
For the past 25 years, it has been my distinct pleasure to live in Australia since retiring from the United States Marine Corps. It requires only a modicum of historical knowledge to understand that Australia’s clearly strategic location in the South Pacific poses an existential threat to the Chinese Communist Party. This location, as it […]
Oil just broke $100 a barrel. Diesel has surged past $6 a gallon in parts of the country. Yet this week the Federal Reserve responded to the pain American families are feeling at the pump by raising interest rates for the first time since 2023 by a quarter of a percentage point. There’s just one […]
Three years after the Supreme Court told American universities to stop sorting applicants by race, the sorting hasn’t stopped. It just got a new address. On Sept. 16, Students for Fair Admissions filed a comment letter with the Treasury Department and the IRS, warning that “geographic location,” a factor Treasury listed as an acceptable race-neutral […]
The next few weeks offer a tremendous opportunity for President Donald Trump and his team to push world leaders for fair market access. As the administration conducts bilateral and multilateral engagements in New York at the United Nations General Assembly and Wisconsin for the G20 Trade Ministerial, we hope that it will continue to press […]
We are in the middle of what might be called a global AI freakout: Researchers warn of systems escaping human control, tech executives propose slowing their own frontier models, and Washington is consumed by debates over regulation. Anxiety over jobs, safety, data centers, and the concentration of wealth and power is coalescing into a huge […]
“Abolish ICE!” To left-wing activists, it’s a demand. To too many Washington Democrats, it’s a promise. And to voters across the country, it’s evidence — evidence that today’s Democrats are increasingly, and openly, committed to undermining the rule of law across the land. “Abolish ICE!” is often paired with some variation of “Defund the police!” […]
Patients scheduled for a scan or cancer treatment do not need to know how nuclear supply chains work. They need care on time. The problem is many radioactive materials used in modern medicine have a defined shelf life; they degrade over time — technically, they “decay” — so disruptions in delivery reduce the window of […]
Imagine arriving at a polling place where the electronic voter check-in system has stopped working. Election workers are switching to a backup procedure. At the same time, an audio recording begins circulating online in what sounds like the voice of a local election official. It says voting has been suspended and tells people to stay […]
During my lifetime, national security meant managing threats we could see and count. We tracked enemy nuclear stockpiles, built command-and-control systems, and used diplomacy, military readiness, and deterrence to prevent a crisis. Nuclear safeguards didn’t erase the danger, but leaders understood that controlling a catastrophic technology could not be an afterthought. AI is testing whether […]
