Only in Washington could a legislative process called “reconciliation” actually drive President Donald Trump and his erstwhile ally Elon Musk apart. Less than a week after Musk stepped away from his role at the helm of the Department of Government Efficiency, with a seemingly gracious exit from the Trump administration, a full-on feud finally broke […]

A new study in the journal Nature Astronomy this week called into question the long-held assumption that the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are on a collision course. The paper concluded that there was only a 2% probability of the two galaxies colliding in the next five billion years despite hurtling at one another at […]

The jury is still out on the wisdom of the Florida Board of Governors’ decision to reject former University of Michigan president Dr. Santa Ono to become UF’s next campus president, the first time in the board’s 22-year history that such a decision had been reached. All 10 voters in dissent had direct ties to Governor Ron […]

Legacy media has now reached a breaking point on two fronts.  And neither of them is good: 1: They are in lockstep with each other on narratives despite supposedly being competitors.  2: They are hopelessly biased to the point of almost being comical.  The exhibits today come on the heels of a horrific attack on […]

California Democrats are rallying to the defense of the nonexistent high-speed rail against the Trump administration.

The city of San Francisco has outsourced much of its governance to an army of nongovernmental organizations. The structure of this arrangement has become so complex and convoluted that San Francisco can’t even keep track of where money is going and who is actually benefiting from it. The city has opened an investigation into the San […]

When I came to Congress, I promised the people of Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District that I would pursue practical solutions to improve the lives of working families — without the drama, the headlines, or the politics. That commitment is reflected in the House’s recently passed “big, beautiful bill,” a practical, solutions-oriented piece of legislation that […]

To some, “Make America Healthy Again” indicates no more than a conspiratorial science. Those who don’t discount it see it as a rhetorical opportunity. That posture is most relevant among pro-lifers in the Republican Party, many of whom face a slow edging out by virtue of their opposition to in vitro fertilization. A tactical revamp […]

Elon Musk has completed his term as a special government employee, leaving behind a legacy that goes beyond the billions in savings he helped generate. Over his 130 days in the Trump administration, Musk became one of the most hated men on the political Left, while also playing a key role in reshaping economic policy.  […]
