Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) almost looks like a centrist now. That would have been a strange thing to say eight years ago, when she knocked off Rep. Joe Crowley, then the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House, and became the face of a new left flank that made party leaders nervous. She and the rest of […]
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who died unexpectedly on Saturday at age 71, was an unlikely GOP leader in the age of President Donald Trump. Graham could easily have become irrelevant once Trump became the unquestioned head of the Republican Party. The South Carolina senator was a top ally of longtime Sen. John McCain. They and […]
Gov. Maura Healey already has a dubious record on immigration. Under her watch, Massachusetts’ emergency shelter system spiraled into more than $1 billion a year, with migrant families housed in hotels and even a shuttered prison at roughly $3,500 per family per week, all at taxpayers’ expense. She then promptly signed orders restricting cooperation with […]
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Tuesday that the federal government cannot cap how much a political party spends in direct coordination with its own candidates. National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission struck down a Federal Election Campaign Act provision that had limited coordinated party expenditures since 1974, overruling the court’s 2001 decision […]

It reads into the Fourteenth Amendment a sweeping right for foreign nationals that the text, history, and purpose of that provision never supported. In the process, the majority transforms a targeted constitutional fix for one of the […]
Like millions of Americans — and a few billion others around the world — I’ve been glued to the World Cup. One thing that has really stood out is not only the excitement on the field, but also what’s happening in the stands. Across our country, the World Cup is providing an optimistic lens for […]
If the people running your business couldn’t be held accountable, how long do you think your company would survive? Probably not very long. Yet that’s the direction parts of our federal government have drifted for years. Unelected officials have gained enormous authority to write rules, enforce regulations, and reshape the way Americans do business. Often, […]
For decades, Americans have been told that political speech becomes dangerous when too many people hear it or when the wrong people can afford to amplify it. We have been asked to accept the strange premise that the government protects democracy by limiting how citizens, candidates, and political parties communicate with one another. That idea […]
The socialist wave reshaping the Democratic Party reached Colorado on Tuesday, as three far-left candidates defeated more centrist Democrats in races for governor and Congress. The results confirmed what has been apparent for some time: Colorado is no longer a business-friendly purple state. It is now a deep-blue Democratic stronghold willing to sacrifice growth, jobs, […]
This largely under-the-radar shift will benefit all Americans’ health: Tomorrow’s doctors can now focus all their attention on treating patients with excellent care.
