Sunday marked five years since George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis. That means that this entire week marks five years since the national reaction to Floyd’s death did untold damage to the country. The outrage over Floyd’s death was itself understandable, but it very quickly exploded far outside the scope of […]
Russian President Vladimir Putin is playing President Donald Trump like a balalaika. That is how to understand Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s airy announcement Tuesday in Turkey that Putin and Trump have agreed to exchange Americans held in Russian prisons for Russians detained by the United States. You can hear the soothing tinkle of music intended […]
Aviation affects nearly every single Alaskan. Only 22% of our state is connected to a road system. The rest of our communities, especially in rural areas, rely on aviation for their groceries, for their mail, or to transport patients in medical emergencies. From bush pilots in Nome to air traffic controllers in Anchorage, our skies […]
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently published a rule targeting “provider taxes,” a financing gimmick states use to harvest extra Medicaid dollars from the federal government.

Last week's horrific murders in Washington, DC, can only further feed the backlash against rising antisemitism already brewing in next month's city Democratic primaries...
It turns out that journalistic malpractice can get you a fat book contract. That’s right, if you refuse to report the news for years and malign anyone who suggests the truth is being withheld, you can then pretend to be the hero to anyone willing to pay $27 for the real story. CNN’s Jake Tapper […]
The climate on college campuses since the terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7th has caught the attention of the powerbrokers in Washington, most notably, President Donald Trump. The Trump administration has formed a task force to root out antisemitism on campuses across the country, and numerous other federal offices and interest groups — such […]
Centrist Republicans are said to be worried that the reconciliation bill’s proposed cuts to Medicaid spending will leave them vulnerable to Democratic attacks. They are right to be concerned, but they can rest more easily if only they realize that they, not the Democrats, hold the moral high ground on this issue. That conclusion might […]
