The nation’s cartoonists on the week in politics

Every week political cartoonists throughout the country and across the political spectrum apply their ink-stained skills to capture the foibles, memes, hypocrisies and other head-slapping events in the world...

D.C. leaders push back against Bondi’s order naming DEA head as ’emergency police commissioner’

Attorney General Pam Bondi's directive effectively replacing the Washington, D.C., police chief was "unlawful," the capital's attorney general wrote in a late Thursday memo, as President Donald Trump's takeover of the city's law enforcement devolved into a legal clash of powers.

Jamie Dimon profits from trashing Trump’s economy

President Donald Trump‘s sweeping victory in November was thanks in large part to building a campaign founded on fighting for the forgotten men and women of our country. Trump promised to look after families, and since Inauguration Day, he’s worked tirelessly to fulfill his promise to drive down skyrocketing prices. However, one of the biggest […]

Netroots in New Orleans

At its peak, the Netroots Nation conference was a must-attend event on the Democratic Party presidential campaign trail. In 2007, it hosted a forum featuring Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Barack Obama, and Bill Richardson. In later years, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Elizabeth […]

For quid pro quo Trump, it’s pay-to-play in China

When Congress passed the Export Control Reform Act in 2018, the intention was to prevent advanced technologies with military uses from falling into the hands of enemies. Under President Donald Trump, export controls serve a different function: they give Trump leverage over private companies. Microchipmaker Nvidia reportedly won a license to export some of its […]

Trump must reverse the dangerous Ukraine aid halt

The White House confirmed Tuesday that "to put America’s interests first," the United States won't be sending promised (and much-needed) artillery rounds, Patriot air...

Trump can’t let Pentagon meddlers derail ‘peace through strength’ for Ukraine

The Defense Department halt on arms shipments to Ukraine undermines Kyiv's battlefield position, signals fading American support — and undercuts Trump’s leverage in peace...

Kasparov: In the USSR, I saw how Mamdani’s socialism can destroy a country

Like a contagious disease, socialism comes roaring back when people have forgotten the terrible damage it did the last time it ravaged a society....

Cutting arms to Ukraine only emboldens Putin — and sinks Trump’s chances for peace

So far, Trump’s strategy of easing pressure on Russia in hopes that it will entice Putin into a ceasefire hasn’t worked — indeed, it...

NPR and PBS need to play ball for federal funding

Public media stations across the country are using their airwaves to urge listeners and viewers to write to their senators to hold off the impending end to federal funds for the systems. It’s a practical strategy, but a limited and nearsighted one. It’s correct that if even a handful of Republican senators resist the proposed […]

Zohran Mamdani’s idiotic war on billionaires

If self-avowed socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes the next mayor of New York City, it’ll be a gift to Republicans in more ways than one. Not only will they get a perfect poster child to hold up as the extreme figurehead of the Democratic Party, but they will also likely see a huge influx of wealthy […]

UK markets roil as weakening government cancels spending cuts

The credibility of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the United Kingdom‘s fiscal situation were further undermined this week when Starmer abandoned reforms to the country’s bloated welfare system. The minimal reforms, spearheaded by Chancellor Rachel Reeves (the U.K.’s more powerful equivalent of the treasury secretary), were designed to reduce the deficit by $7 billion a […]

UPenn’s transgender surrender is a temporary victory

The insane Lia Thomas saga has finally been put to bed. The University of Pennsylvania reached an agreement with the Department of Education on Tuesday. UPenn will apologize to swimmers affected by being forced to compete against or with Thomas, a man who started his college career on UPenn’s men’s swimming team before “transitioning” to the women’s team. UPenn […]

What the 12-day War hath wrought

Not many people today remember the exhilaration so many Americans felt after Israel’s victory in the six-day War in June 1967. The liberal folks around me at work and law school then had been frustrated and puzzled at the lack of progress being made in Vietnam by the 448,000 U.S. troops stationed there, and the […]

The angry Left resists as the Right rejoices: A tale of two Independence Days

“Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry, and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy people.” — George Washington. “[Independence Day] will be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.” — John Adams. That’s a sampling of the many patriotic and positive sentiments from two […]

Make America patriotic again

Real patriotism in America isn’t just dying. It’s being actively euthanized, often by the same elite class that benefits most from its existence. In living memory, patriotism, the love and devotion for one’s country, appeared alive and well, as people waved flags, stood for the national anthem, and recited the Pledge of Allegiance in school […]

China is winning the trucking arms race

Nearly 75% of all freight in the United States is moved by trucks. They deliver everything from construction materials to hospital supplies to the packages on your porch. But the system is overworked and under-resourced, which slows down deliveries and drives up prices. Autonomous trucking — yes, self-driving big rigs — is the solution to […]

When will the B-2s return to Iran?

When will the Air Force’s B-2 bombers pay another visit to Iran? That decision is actually up to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Iranian supreme leader, and his now-smaller inner ring of advisers, some of whom probably remain agents of Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence service. It is a useful skill to be able to put yourself […]
