Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Saturday said Senate Democrats will block President Trump's new 10 percent tariffs to be implemented on European countries over his calls for the U.S. to acquire Greenland.

The Senate tries to do what the Fed cannot: Solve the housing crisis

Though Washington laments the slow demise of civility within Congress, bipartisanship, at least when it comes to legislating, is usually a bad thing. It only emerges when both sides want to waste taxpayer money on things nobody wants and to regulate things everybody likes. So it’s shocking that Democrats and Republicans on the Senate banking […]

The youth-quake: How Democrats lost a generation

A new poll released by Pew Research this morning reveals a seismic shift: younger Americans have swung toward the Republican Party at historic levels in the past two years. For a Democratic Party that relies on the youth vote as a foundational element of its coalition, these results are nothing less than a generational disaster. […]

The harrowing effects of screen time on children’s brains

A new, large-scale study published in the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities reveals how smartphone ownership in childhood may be derailing young people’s mental health. The study included data from more than 100,000 18- to 24-year-olds living around the globe. Owning a smartphone before the age of 13 was associated with poorer mental health, […]

AI explains why AI is biased against Republicans

On Wednesday, while writing a story on gerrymandering, I asked ChatGPT, “Which states have congressional delegation partisan breakdowns most divergent from the presidential vote in 2024?” The artificial intelligence interlocutor then named Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and Ohio as the biggest offenders, all of which are controlled by Republicans and have House delegations that skew […]

Anything boys can do…

There is a genre of online video and social media post that is revealing of our time. In one such video, an online fitness influencer posts herself crying in her car outside the gym. The words accompanying the tears: “Just saw a teenage boy (who’s just been taught how to bench for the first time) […]

Planned Parenthood has no First Amendment right to taxpayer funding

Democrats are so singularly focused on abortion that the party is now arguing that the First Amendment dictates that Planned Parenthood must be given taxpayer funding. Democratic attorneys general from 23 states are suing the Trump administration over defunding Planned Parenthood, emboldened by a liberal activist judge who has ordered that funding continue. California Attorney […]

Who’s afraid of Sydney Sweeney?

Who’s afraid of Sydney Sweeney‘s double-decker décolletage? Apparently, vast chunks of elite left-wing media, given its widespread apoplexy in response to the Emmy-nominated actress’s new denim campaign for American Eagle. MSNBC deemed Sweeney “disappointing” for starring in a “dangerous” American Eagle advertising campaign that embraces “an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness.” The style correspondents of […]

Four of the top five most gerrymandered states are controlled by Democrats

The Democratic Party is whining about a new Texas Republican Party map released Wednesday that would turn the current 12-seat Republican advantage (25-13) in the House delegation to a 22-seat (30-8) advantage.  Democrats are promising to fight the new map in court and threatening to gerrymander their own states to give Democrats a similar partisan […]

Europe is encouraging a new age of terrorism

On July 29, 2025, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared that the United Kingdom would recognize a State of Palestine unilaterally unless Israel and Hamas reach a ceasefire by September 2025. If terrorism is a wildfire, Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron — who announced on July 24 that France would also recognize Palestine — […]

What it means for Russia’s fight in Ukraine to be a ‘holy war’

The Russian Orthodox Church is supposed to bring people closer to God, not to Russian President Vladimir Putin. And yet, that seems to be just what the ROC is doing under Patriarch Kirill. The leader of a church with as many as 160 million adherents has declared Russia’s fight to conquer Ukraine to be a […]

Rescissions are not a White House ‘fade on soft power’

Congress recently approved President Donald Trump’s request to claw back $9.4 billion in previously approved funding. Although the rescissions bill reflected savings from deep cuts to foreign aid, its passage does not mean the United States is, or should be, retreating from using effective soft power tools to advance American interests abroad. Trump’s military strikes […]

Israel can do better, but Hamas should not get a state

More food aid flows into Gaza after Israel authorizes new United Nations aid transit routes. This is a welcome development amid a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory. International organizations, the United States intelligence community, and many other nations assess that the civilians are going hungry, some of them dangerously so. The most sympathetic people, the elderly, […]
