A new study in the journal Nature Astronomy this week called into question the long-held assumption that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are on a collision course.

The jury is still out on the wisdom of the Florida Board of Governors’ decision to reject former University of Michigan president Dr. Santa Ono to become UF’s next campus president, the first time in the board’s 22-year history that such a decision had been reached. All 10 voters in dissent had direct ties to Governor Ron […]
Legacy media has now reached a breaking point on two fronts. And neither of them is good: 1: They are in lockstep with each other on narratives despite supposedly being competitors. 2: They are hopelessly biased to the point of almost being comical. The exhibits today come on the heels of a horrific attack on […]
California Democrats are rallying to the defense of the nonexistent high-speed rail against the Trump administration. It is way past time for them to swallow their pride and let this unmitigated disaster of a project die.

That commitment is reflected in the House’s recently passed “big, beautiful bill,” a practical, solutions-oriented piece of legislation that […]
To some, “Make America Healthy Again” indicates no more than a conspiratorial science. Those who don’t discount it see it as a rhetorical opportunity. That posture is most relevant among pro-lifers in the Republican Party, many of whom face a slow edging out by virtue of their opposition to in vitro fertilization. A tactical revamp […]
Elon Musk has completed his term as a special government employee, leaving behind a legacy that goes beyond the billions in savings he helped generate. Over his 130 days in the Trump administration, Musk became one of the most hated men on the political Left, while also playing a key role in reshaping economic policy. […]
As the Trump administration and the Republican Party appear to be moving toward greater institutional support for in vitro fertilization, the pro-life movement would be mistaken to treat this as a settled debate, both as a matter of policy and as a matter of first principles.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) signaled victory in his war against Medicaid reform this week, posting on social media, “Just had a great talk with President Trump about the Big, Beautiful Bill.
