U.S. Central Command (Centcom) announced on Tuesday night that it completed an additional round of strikes on "dozens" of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's coastal region at 10 p.m. EDT. The strikes came after the U.S. resumed a naval blockade at 4 p.m. EDT, with over 20 U.S. Navy warships and...
President Trump on Tuesday warned Iran that the U.S. is "going to hit them very hard" after the fourth day of U.S. strikes on the Islamic regime. Trump spoke with Fox News's Trey Yingst about the conflict, saying that the U.S. will gradually expand its strikes across Iran's infrastructure. "We're going to hit them very...
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday will hold the Economic Diplomacy Action Group's (EDAG) first meeting, two years after it was established during the Biden administration. The committee, made up of federal agency leaders, will "shape the contours and focus of U.S. economic statecraft to advance U.S. foreign policy priorities," including "American leadership in AI," a State...
President Donald Trump’s Iran nuclear deal is by far the worst thing to come out of either of his two terms. Yet he’s so bought-in that he’s told the world not to listen to the “losers” with enough common sense to point out the obvious. The whole ordeal draws direct parallels to the folktale The […]
Welcome to Friday’s Washington Secrets, where we are ready for another weekend filled with World Cup soccer. Once again, we unleash our two strategists to review the president’s week, and — spoiler alert — it’s not good. Where can I get a copy of The Mayor of Casterbridge? What a week that was. Even by […]
American military service members, along with military veterans, first responders, and their families, will be able to secure tickets across all stages of the tournament thanks to Bank of America, the official bank of FIFA World Cup 2026.

As a conservative, I wish for Democrats to find happiness, and I hope they are able to find a strong presidential candidate. Currently, they have no bench, to use a baseball term, and the likely field of contenders is a fractured group largely defined by reactive grievance. The title of this essay is derived from […]
People are trying to adapt to a labor market that no longer moves in a straight line. Artificial intelligence could reshape more than half of U.S. jobs in just the next two years, entry-level jobs are becoming harder to find, and workers are navigating careers that increasingly require them to learn, retrain, and change direction […]

George Washington, the Continental Congress, and the men and women whose bravery and sacrifice led up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. June 19, 1776 Gen. George Washington is keenly aware that […]
The founders built two ways to amend the Constitution. Congress can propose amendments — that’s how all 27 got here so far. Or two-thirds of state legislatures can apply for a convention, bypassing Congress entirely. Madison explained in Federalist No. 43 that the amendment process was designed so both the federal government and the states […]
The U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end the war with Iran is as feeble for U.S. and allied interests as the war was foolish. The MOU provides Iran immediate, significant financial benefits and defers the instrumental question of Iran’s nuclear program to future talks. As the U.S. intelligence community has assessed, it is highly […]
“Well, a guy is on a mountain in southwest Colorado, where I bought this 1950 Chevrolet sight unseen. It doesn’t run, and it’s been off the road for 20 years. I am going to try to get it fired up and drive it 1,400 miles back home.” That is Derek Bieri of the YouTube channel […]
People have spent a lifetime paying taxes in exchange for the promise of Medicare coverage once they reach 65. In return, seniors expect to receive the highest quality care and access to innovative, impactful treatments and therapies they need to maintain their health. The “most favored nation” drug pricing policy being considered by the Trump […]
When the Pentagon designated Tencent as a Chinese military company in early 2025, the response in Silicon Valley was a collective shrug. Tencent’s stakes in American gaming firms had been public for years. The Justice Department forced Tencent to give up two board seats at Epic Games and its director appointment rights. The conversation focused […]
As we approach the fourth anniversary of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the landmark ruling that overturned 1973’s Roe v. Wade and restored to the states their constitutional authority to protect unborn children, the mifepristone litigation in Louisiana v. FDA continues.
