D.C. leaders push back against Bondi’s order naming DEA head as ’emergency police commissioner’

Jamie Dimon profits from trashing Trump’s economy

President Donald Trump‘s sweeping victory in November was thanks in large part to building a campaign founded on fighting for the forgotten men and women of our country.

Netroots in New Orleans

At its peak, the Netroots Nation conference was a must-attend event on the Democratic Party presidential campaign trail. In 2007, it hosted a forum featuring Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson. In later years, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Elizabeth […]

For quid pro quo Trump, it’s pay-to-play in China

When Congress passed the Export Control Reform Act in 2018, the intention was to prevent advanced technologies with military uses from falling into the hands of enemies.

Why the Left won’t stop targeting the Little Sisters of the Poor

It’s enraging.  More than a decade after the Obama administration tried to force the Little Sisters of the Poor to buy contraception for employees, including abortifacient drugs, states are still hounding the nuns in court.  At its heart, Obamacare was a massive welfare program meant to redistribute healthcare costs to the middle class.

If there is anything of note to come from the row on Capitol Hill over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, it is that cynicism toward politicians is justified.

Republicans can celebrate ‘big, beautiful bill’ back in their districts

Next year, the average American family will keep $2,100 more of what they earn, courtesy of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Congress just passed. The alternative, endorsed without hesitation by every Democrat, was a $4 trillion tax increase.  Having lost that vote, the Democrats are already trying to distort the legislation as dangerous […]

Congress can reclaim power by fixing Congressional Review Act

Congress rarely uses the Congressional Review Act to disapprove of federal agency rules.

It requires both chambers of Congress and the president to agree that […]

Europe should not abandon monitoring in Armenia

President Donald Trump celebrates the signing of the Armenia–Azerbaijan peace deal, the latest notch in his quest for a Nobel Peace Prize. “For more than 35 years, Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that resulted in tremendous suffering for both nations.… Many tried to find a resolution … and they were unsuccessful. With […]

At 90, Social Security is showing its age

Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act on Aug. 14, 1935, making today Social Security’s 90th birthday.
