In April, David Morens, a senior adviser to Anthony Fauci, was indicted on charges of allegedly destroying government records tied to COVID-19 origins research.

Antitrust mistake enters the drug market

Lawmakers on both the left and right are increasingly blaming pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — the intermediaries that negotiate prescription drug prices between manufacturers, insurers, and pharmacies — for rising healthcare costs.

Two Congress members see only evil, hear only evil — others see reality in Israel

In February, at least two congressional delegations visited Israel, as well as Judea and Samaria. Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Sean Casten (D-IL) went with J Street.

Trump shouldn’t repeat Obama’s Iran mistake

Every American president hopes he will be the one to solve the Iran problem through diplomacy. So far, none has succeeded. Now, President Donald Trump appears to be considering another agreement with Tehran.
