A new Trump admin housing directive aims to tackle the U.S.'s housing affordability crunch by ending Obama-era rule allowing indefinite liability for property owners over past building design errors.
Democrats are so committed to keeping illegal immigrants in the country that they are willing to blame a woman for getting shot by one in Chicago just to avoid talking about deportations. Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old freshman at Loyola University, was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant in Chicago last Thursday. The suspect is Joe Medina, a […]
Washington dysfunction is usually explained as a failure of people. The wrong politicians. Too partisan. Too extreme. Too unwilling to compromise. That’s comforting. But it’s also wrong. The deeper problem is structural. Congress isn’t just failing because of who is elected. It is failing because the institution itself has evolved into something the framers of […]
Iran is seeking to tighten its grip on the Strait of Hormuz — not by closing it, but by reopening it on its own terms and forcing countries to pay for passage. Multiple reports — first from the maritime news outlet Lloyd’s List, then Bloomberg — now confirm that the colloquially named “Tehran Toll Booth” is open for business. How it works […]
“Every one of those babies died in utero.” “They have no case,” the defense attorney said of a victim named Baby Boy A, “because it was killed in utero.” Kermit Gosnell injected a poison into the woman’s abdomen, his attorney argued, “to prevent a live birth. That was the goal of Dr. Gosnell with [the […]

What do I tell a Jewish teenager when his synagogue is being shot at? When she hesitates to wear her Magen David necklace at school? When their right to exist is questioned daily on social media? These are not theoretical questions. They are the questions I grapple with when speaking to students in Jewish Student […]
While much of the country faces housing shortages and rising costs, the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex has defied the trend. It is one of the fastest-growing housing markets in the United States. Since 2010, housing units in the region increased by more than 27%, more than double the national rate. Yet Plano, which lies in the heart of the area, is closing public […]
A few weeks ago, my sister called me. The midday call wasn’t abnormal. Her question was. “Is it true that Republicans are pushing a bill that would make it impossible for married women to vote?” What? Where in the world are you getting that? WOMEN AREN’T FALLING FOR ANTI-SAVE ACT FEAR CAMPAIGN To be clear, […]
Soon after beginning his second term, President Donald Trump rightly focused on a serious problem with infant formula by launching Operation Stork Speed. It’s aimed at expanding access to safe, reliable, and nutritious formula for American families, a problem that became very serious during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also fits neatly within a broader Trump […]
President Donald Trump’s pivot away from the green energy agenda of former President Joe Biden toward a renewed embrace of oil, natural gas, and coal is strengthening the United States. Energy abundance makes America stronger, both economically and politically. A tentative de-escalation appears to be taking place with respect to the Iran war. According to the president, negotiations are underway to resolve […]
President Donald Trump’s five-day extension to his ultimatum has delayed the decision point. It does not resolve the underlying constraint. The Strait of Hormuz will reopen, even if not on Washington’s timeline. If negotiations fail, as they are likely to, the United States will force the strait open: through naval escort under fire, direct strikes, […]
In his second term, President Donald Trump’s reembrace of an old American axiom, “industrial capacity equals strategic power,” has secured over $5 trillion in reshored investment commitments from over 100 major companies. Some of it is new tech: Apple is reshoring iPhone supply chains and Silicon Valley is building new data centers all around the country. Some of it […]
The Pentagon has asked for additional funds to pay for the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Congress should approve this request without delay and ensure that the U.S.’s warfighters have what they need. Iran’s missile attacks show there isn’t any time to waste. The funds are essential to both winning today’s wars and […]
