Right as Democrats swept Tuesday’s off-year elections, reclaiming a trifecta in Virginia and keeping New Jersey indigo blue, the party’s shutdown of the federal government set the record as the longest in the nation’s history. The overlap of the two events is no coincidence: nearly a quarter of Virginia’s electorate works for the federal government, […]
In an effort to protect America’s sovereignty over its higher education system, Congress urged Columbia University to cut its ties to communist China and adopt a stricter vetting process for its donors, students, and partners. “Your university and its student groups to discontinue any exchange programs that are supported by entities with ties to the […]
Saudi Arabia is set to receive up to 48 F-35 fighter jets from the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon, which signals the revival of a decadeslong alliance of significant importance to America’s Middle Eastern agenda and local economy.

Most modern socialists revealingly call themselves “democratic socialists.” The one socialist organization that didn’t do this, the exception that proved the rule, was the biggest communist state of all, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It was a place of frank, archetypal dictatorship with no nonsense about democracy; its leaders wouldn’t stoop so low. But […]
“If we stop supporting Ukraine, we allow the invasion of Ukraine. I am not hypocritical enough to mistake an invasion with the word ‘peace,'” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said in a fiery 2023 speech. This is from a leader who, when she rose to power in Italy, Western media branded as extreme right-wing. She […]
An original black-and-white chart from a 2009 law review article written by Columbia Law School professor Bernard E. Harcourt was colorized by the Economist, and you’ve probably seen it on whatever social media platform you get your news from.

Parked outside Greenberry’s Coffee in McLean, Virginia, on Election Day were a Porsche Cayenne, a Mercedes-Benz GLS, and a BMW X5 — three luxury SUVs. They were flanked by Land Rovers. McLean is perhaps the wealthiest suburb of arguably the wealthiest region in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. And the industry […]
A rising number of young people are embracing the idea that political violence is acceptable, thanks in part to increasingly hysterical Democratic rhetoric and the tolerance of blatant acts of violence on the national stage.

Billie Eilish, the Generation Z pop star famous for her song “bad guy,” has decided there’s a new bad guy in town, and it’s not her; it’s billionaires. “If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?” she asked onstage at a recent event to celebrate innovators. “No hate, but, yeah, give your money away.” […]
The federal government has been shut down for over a month, and political finger-pointing has persisted since it began. Republicans claim that they have passed clean continuing resolutions that get blocked in the Senate, while Democrats argue that Republicans and President Donald Trump are refusing to negotiate, particularly over the issue of expanded Obamacare subsidies.

President Donald Trump again called on Republican senators to end the filibuster this month, a pitch he has made many times before.
