How Republicans can sway voters with reconciliation 3.0

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 phone has no Fourth Amendment

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 […]

From Holocaust heroes to ‘Albania for Albanians’: A NATO ally’s dangerous crossroads

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 […]

Small oil producers need relief from Washington’s one-size-fits-all regulations

America is at an energy crossroads. For years, the Obama and Biden administrations layered on a steady stream of malicious regulations, permitting delays, and compliance mandates that made it harder to produce American energy. While President Donald Trump works to roll back much of that, the reality is that producers have spent decades trying to […]

Michael Bloomberg’s war on vaping puts criminals over consumers

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has taken to one of his own news channels to deliver a broadside against flavored vaping products.

Bloomberg warns that the Food and Drug Administration’s recent authorization of flavored […]

Which party will recover first from its current self-harm?

Tuesday saw the usual first-week-of-June gaggle of state primary elections. It’s a feature of the American federal system that states choose when to hold primary and local elections.  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 […]

Why were parents kept in the dark about California school district’s partnership with a US-Islamic relations council?

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 […]

Iraq’s militias aren’t disarming. They’re rebranding

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 […]

Northern lights could dazzle in several states as sun ejections expected to spark storms

Several coronal mass ejections could impact Earth today, which means you may get to see the northern lights.

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.  Three of the new candidates on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s (DCCC) “Red to Blue” list are coming off contested primary wins in recent weeks.
