Up next for the DSA? Two major swing states.

It's hot outside. But the DSA is hotter. Fresh off major primary wins in Colorado and New York, the Democratic Socialists of America is looking to prove that it...

FOR INSIDERS | How the AI boom is making MacBooks, Xboxes more expensive

The AI boom is fueling massive demand for memory chips, forcing electronics manufacturers to grapple with rising prices that are starting to trickle down to consumers. Memory chips, which are responsible for storing and processing data, are a key component in everything from smartphones to laptops to cars. But the massive data center buildout is...

Anti-incumbent mood sweeping country in troubling sign for GOP majorities

A sour, anti-incumbent mood is sweeping across the nation on its 250th anniversary in what political analysts say is an especially troubling sign for Republican control of the House and Senate, given President Trump’s slumping approval rating. Rising voter anger with the status quo has hit both parties, with eight House incumbents — five Democrats and...

FOR INSIDERS | These 7 Democrats lead the pack: Ranking the White House contenders

The Democratic presidential primary is shaping up to be one of the most wide-open contests in decades, with no clear front-runner in sight. Still, several Democrats are already separating themselves from the pack, according to strategists, donors and other operatives within the party who spoke to The Hill. Here are our rankings on the race...

FOR INSIDERS | House GOP’s packed to-do list faces ticking clock

House Republicans are staring down a tight legislative calendar after an intraparty revolt forced Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to send lawmakers home early last week for the second time in a row, squeezing an already limited window for the party to advance an ambitious agenda amid a high-stakes election year. Lawmakers departed for the July...

The heart of Trump’s deportation push

THE HEART OF TRUMP’S DEPORTATION PUSH. You’ve probably heard commentators say that under President Donald Trump, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is arresting and deporting a huge number of illegal immigrants who have no criminal record. The first response to that is: if they crossed illegally into the United States, they have a criminal record. Plus, they’re […]

Nuclear waste is not an engineering problem. It’s a governance failure

As Japan takes the final steps toward restarting the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, the world’s largest nuclear facility, familiar debates are resurfacing: reactor safety, seismic risk, and public trust. These problems certainly matter, especially in light of the Fukushima disaster in 2011, but they are no longer the primary constraint on nuclear energy’s future. Criticality is […]

Trump can deliver these pro-life wins in 2026

From the One Big Beautiful Bill Act provision to defund Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers for one year to the Food and Drug Administration leadership committing to a review of the abortion pill, 2025 marked the most decisive victories for life since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Recent YouGov polling shows that fewer than 1 in […]

Dave Chappelle is no bold truth teller

Dave Chappelle is clearly a brilliant storyteller. The comedian can weave a narrative that holds your attention and drop a punch line at just the right moment. He claims to be an equal-opportunity offender. But it turns out he is afraid to offend the leftists who don’t stand up to antisemitism in Hollywood, on college […]

Rubio and Landau risk oversleeping on Somaliland opportunity

Perhaps the greatest legacy of President Donald Trump’s first term was ending the debate about whether China would be a cooperative power or competitor. In hindsight, it appears naive that any Republican or Democrat would believe that China wanted to do anything other than overthrow the post-World War II U.S.-led democratic international order. President Bill […]

Trump’s shock therapy for Europe

President Donald Trump’s national strategy document “upends” America’s long-standing policy toward European nations, which have been this country’s closest allies for a century or more.  The president and his lieutenants focus on Europe’s feckless immigration policies, chronic unwillingness to pay for its own defense, its weakness in defending the Western values that undergird democratic freedom, […]

Russia invents Ukraine’s assassination attempt on Putin

Russia’s claim that Ukraine launched aerial attack drones at President Vladimir Putin’s Moscow residence follows a familiar pattern of false Kremlin claims. This latest one surfaced as United States and Ukrainian officials reported progress in peace negotiations. Moscow is using the purported attack to cite new grounds for revising its negotiating position. Ukraine quickly rejected the […]

China’s military is staring down the barrel of its gun

Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong stated that “political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Today, Communist China’s military power has never been greater. A new Pentagon report warns that the United States is “increasingly vulnerable” to attack. Worse still: China, well aware of its growing strength, is flexing its muscles. China’s People’s […]

To achieve peace in Ukraine, Trump has to face down Putin

We are gratified that President Donald Trump held what he described as a “terrific” meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday. The two leaders say that about 90% of the work toward reaching an agreement to end the war in Ukraine is now completed. This is welcome news. This war is the […]

The elimination of the penny shows signs of unforeseen costs

When President Donald Trump announced the discontinuation of the penny in February, responses ranged from a resounding “meh” to borderline celebration. Outside circles of nostalgics, dedicated hobbyists, and amateur numismatists, nobody really cared. Nobody shed a tear. The only negative word anyone could muster typically came in the form of a couple of lines from commentators wondering what this […]

Post readers take Gov. Hochul to task for refusing to extend President Trump's "no tax on tips" — and also weigh in on claims...

Harvard is destroying itself over ‘diversity’ — and taking the rest of us with it

Harvard and its peers replaced Western history with global history — and merit with identity politics, doing “serious harm" to young Americans, warns a...

Bruce Blakeman is right about ‘toxic’ battery farms — and the ‘need’ is purely Gov. Hochul’s fault

GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Blakeman is entirely right to blast Gov. Kathy Hochul’s “toxic” battery-farm plans as “putting New Yorkers in danger.” 

The lefty media are trying to hide Minnesota’s massive fraud scheme

In a sane society, news that Minnesota was robbed of billions through social-services fraud would be the biggest story in the country, with every...
