President Donald Trump said Sunday that he will look into requests from families of Sept. 11 victims to release records that could shed light on Saudi Arabia's alleged role in the attacks 25 years ago.
Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat weighing a 2028 run for the presidency, said he supports tearing down the $600 million White House ballroom and $100 million Great Triumphal Arch the Trump administration is currently building.
A plane carrying Rep. Tom Tiffany, who is running for governor in Wisconsin, crash-landed in a lake Saturday night, forcing Mr. Tiffany and the pilot to swim to safety.
A string of new, terrifying warnings from the artificial intelligence community has put Congress, the White House and the A.I. industry on notice: Slow the progress of the rapidly developing technology before a swarm of bots takes over the Internet and "kill all humans."
Centrist Republicans from swing districts usually deserve a lot more leeway when it comes to their ideological purity versus the things they must do or say to keep their seats. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) has exhausted that leeway, demanding that taxpayers across the country subsidize the Democratic tax system in his own state. This has been the core of the […]
Members of the European Union have joined the United Kingdom in charting tougher paths than the United States toward Russia and Israel. Let’s start with Russia. On Tuesday, the EU and the U.K. introduced a new raft of sanctions targeting Russian individuals, energy tanker ships, and financial institutions. The sanctions follow a phone call between […]
EVEN AS HE FIGHTS CANCER, BIDEN OWES AMERICANS AN EXPLANATION. Former President Joe Biden‘s announcement that he is suffering from advanced metastatic prostate cancer landed awkwardly amid a debate about Biden’s physical and mental infirmity during his years as president. All of a sudden, people who were arguing that it was a scandal that Biden served […]
American women have never been healthier, wealthier, or better educated than they are today. Young women outnumber men at universities by a 60% to 40% margin, they get 66% of all higher education degrees, and young women are far more likely to own homes than their male counterparts. But to hear former Secretary of State […]
News broke last month that the federal Head Start program might be eliminated in next year’s congressional budget. Officials later changed course, but as the federal government searches for new ways to cut spending, it’s likely that Head Start could be on the chopping block again in the near future. That would be disastrous for hundreds of thousands […]
A stable family life benefits any child. Pope Leo XIV, who calls his siblings at least weekly, is one good example. Then-Bishop Robert Prevost would call his older brother, John, daily from his post at the Vatican as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. So too with his oldest brother, Louis, in weekly phone calls. […]
ESPN has built a culture of racism at the network, leading its personalities to become some of the most toxic in all of media. The latest example of this comes from the latest Caitlin Clark nontroversy. In her first game of the season, Clark fouled Angel Reese, who flopped and then tried to start a […]
The late Sen. Everett Dirksen of my own state of Illinois is reputed to have complained about ballooning federal spending, saying, “A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you’re talking real money.” It was funny 75 years ago. Today, it’s not even entirely true anymore. Last week, the House Ways and Means Committee unveiled […]
The national conversation around artificial intelligence is dominated by voices on the coasts, whether it’s machine-learning engineers in San Francisco or venture capitalists in New York. On the news every day, there are arguments about whether AI will save humanity or destroy it. But just a few hundred miles inland in Bowling Green, Kentucky, a […]
In the half-century since Watergate, political scandals have been given the suffix “gate” to suggest importance, real or ludicrous. Think “Irangate,” “Bridgegate,” or “Pizzagate.” But the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s physical and mental collapse by White House officials and lickspittles in left-liberal news media won’t fit. His sleepwalking presidency, imploding brain function, mumbling […]
Even in an institution as storied as the U.S. Senate, issues arise that have not been previously litigated, and a unique question is posed to this body. Such is the case of the California Clean Air Act waivers, which aim to implement a stringent electric vehicle mandate that would affect not just the state of California […]
It is time for some serious congressional oversight. Not “oversight” like the J6 Committee — hijacked by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and bereft of legitimacy from before the first gavel fell — but more in the vein of the 9/11 Commission or the Iran-Contra Committee. Because we need answers on when former President Joe Biden‘s cognitive abilities became impaired […]
