Even amid conflict in Iran and rising gas prices, healthcare affordability remains a top voter concern. KFF reports that 64% of adults are worried about affording healthcare costs, including insurance, office visits, and prescriptions. Republicans looking for a cost-saving, pro-patient item for a “reconciliation 3.0” should start with one of the most obvious distortions in […]
Your bank account has less constitutional protection than your phone. That isn’t a rhetorical point. It’s the practical result of 50 years of Supreme Court doctrine, and the Arctic Frost investigation is what it looks like when the government uses that doctrine at full extension against sitting members of Congress. The Fourth Amendment required the […]
Every nation arrives, at intervals, at a threshold where it must choose between two definitions of itself — one open and one closed, one confident and one fearful — and Albania, a small country I have supported for the better part of my life, stands at such a threshold this week. The occasion is the […]

Back in the 1850s, as historian Roy Franklin Nichols noted, there was an election in all but one or two of the 24 months in the two-year […]
As a parent whose children attended San Juan Unified schools in Northern California, I was stunned to learn that between 2022 and 2024, the district accepted nearly $360,000 from the Council on American-Islamic Relations. This was not a small donation quietly placed into a general education fund. An investigative report by Defending Education found that […]
Recent reports suggesting that Iraqi militias are preparing to disarm have generated optimism in Washington. If true, it would represent a significant step toward restoring state authority and reducing the influence of armed groups that have operated outside government control for years. The problem is there is little evidence that genuine disarmament is actually taking […]
The House Democrats’ campaign arm on Thursday announced four new names for its program dedicated to supporting challengers who could flip key GOP-held districts in the midterms.
