When Luis Manuel Aviles was arrested by immigration authorities, his son was entering his ninth month on the USS Abraham Lincoln with the Navy - a vessel that set a U.S. military record for uninterrupted time at sea, stirring concerns about supply shortages and deteriorating mental health among soldiers.
A sailor onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on Saturday said his father was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Joshua Aviles has spent roughly nine months deployed at sea due to the Iran war amid reported shortages of clean water, food and supplies. “I’ve been deployed for over nine months, out at sea in...
I spend my professional life around fiduciaries. When a trustee breaches duty, when an investment manager crosses a line, there’s a process. Regulators investigate. Courts rule. People lose licenses, pay fines, sometimes do time. That’s not idealism. That’s how the system is supposed to work when someone entrusted with power abuses it. Compare that to […]
As China continues trying to surpass America’s dominance in artificial intelligence, Beijing announced Thursday that it is forming a new AI council in collaboration with other unfriendly countries. China’s recent decisions demonstrate that it is determined to outcompete the United States while Americans remain preoccupied with criticizing their own technological dominance. The agreement behind the […]
President Donald Trump leveled a series of accusations on Thursday that China interfered in the 2020 election to prevent him from winning. Is that going to be enough for him to stop treating China with kid gloves and start treating it like the American enemy it is? Trump claimed that “in mid-2018, China was working to influence […]
Following the murder of a retired politician last week, the United Kingdom is debating the security measures provided to its politicians. Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has pushed hard for improved security, complaining that current provisions are woefully inadequate. He is correct, although his party’s solution to provide full-time protection to politicians is unfunded. Still, […]
ALTOONA, Pennsylvania — In the heart of Blair County, the steady rumble of the tracks is more than mere background noise. It is the economic heartbeat of a community that built the backbone of America. Gathered at the Rose Yard here are thousands of grandparents, grandchildren, and weathered rail workers watching the thunderous return of […]
A progressive Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Maine adorned with a Nazi tattoo. That poorly chosen bodily aesthetic was not only revealing about this particular character but also a profound metaphor for the ethical and moral contradictions evident in contemporary liberalism. An immutable law of political physics is that ideologically drifting too far left forces […]
Colombia is over 1,500 miles away from the United States, yet the outcome of its presidential election will affect America’s security, its border, and its influence in the Western Hemisphere far more than many realize. For decades, the U.S.-Colombia relationship stood as one of the strongest strategic partnerships in the Western Hemisphere. Built on shared […]
For years, American policymakers, researchers, and security experts have warned the United States’s narrowing advantage in clinical research could threaten our dominance in medical innovation. Recognizing the need to address the bottlenecks that make initiating a new trial so costly and cumbersome, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently announced a new […]
Last year’s GENIUS Act meant that stablecoins could be at home in any regulated institution. The dollar got a software upgrade. Now, Congress must finish the second part of the crypto rulebook by passing the CLARITY Act to ensure that builders in Asia and around the world continue to work with the United States in […]
The state Department of Health just reported that cannabis-poisoning-related emergency-room visits have doubled, from roughly 1,200 in 2016 to nearly 2,400 in 2024.
Healthcare affordability is America’s No. 1 financial concern. According to new polling from the Kaiser Family Foundation, roughly two-thirds of U.S. adults worry about being able to afford the care their families need. Yet in the search for solutions, the federal government appears to be heading in the wrong direction. Policymakers are considering drug pricing […]
Meta just announced it will start alerting parents when their teenagers ask Instagram’s artificial intelligence chatbot about suicide or self-harm. It’s a good and overdue step. It is, whether Meta intends it this way or not, also an admission of everything that Sammy’s Law has been arguing for two years: parents cannot protect their children […]
With the burial of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, contemporary political discourse will inevitably focus on his geopolitical maneuvering, Iran’s nuclear trajectory, and prolonged confrontation with Western powers. However, an analysis restricted to statecraft overlooks the defining characteristic of his tenure: the systematic institutionalization of state-sanctioned violence. Khamenei’s legacy is fundamentally defined by the creation of an […]
