Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is taking the internet by storm, utilizing a strategy employed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during his underdog campaign. Both spent their efforts on social media virality, putting traditional advertising on the back burner. There’s no questioning how effective his campaign has been thus far. He’s […]

You would think the Democratic Party would be making its pitch to voters on affordability issues or things that affect the everyday lives of Americans. Instead, an increasing number of Democrats have become obsessed with talking about Israel and AIPAC. Michigan’s Democratic candidates for Senate got together for a one-hour debate on Thursday. They decided […]

The European Union is holding key discussions on Friday over whether to impose tariffs or other measures against Chinese imports. While symbolic action is likely, that action will likely be delayed and largely watered down.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled his solution to New York City’s housing crisis, a nod to his signature campaign promise to boost Gotham’s housing supply. “Block by Block: The Housing Plan for a New Era” calls for a five-year, $22 billion capital investment to build 200,000 new “affordable” units, preserve another 200,000, and repair city public […]

Picture a supply chain where goods move continuously across the country, less constrained by driver fatigue, rigid schedules, and mandatory rest periods. Trucks that don’t get drowsy at 2 a.m., don’t miss braking cues, and don’t sit idle simply because a human operator has reached the end of a shift. The result could be fewer […]

The Beijing summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping did not ease the strategic rivalry between the United States and China. It only highlighted how deep, structural, and long-term that rivalry has become. What we are witnessing is Cold War 2.0 — not a replay of the Soviet confrontation, but a far […]

The following is an installment of “On This Day,” a series celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by following the actions of Gen. George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Some of us haven’t yet finished wishing Barack Obama would just go away. A decade after leaving the Oval Office, the former president still hovers over our politics issuing sanctimonious tweets in support of dishonest causes, such as the Democrats’ botched gerrymander in Virginia. But now, even with one ex-president still loitering with intent, there […]
