President Trump’s tariff chaos is hammering the very workers he claims to fight for—truckers, port workers, and manufacturers. Xi is reviving China’s manufacturing dominance, while Trump hikes tariffs on the EU and won’t enforce the law on TikTok. So far, Trump 2.0 is weak on

Good move by NIH and CDC to drop COVID vax guidance for healthy kids. The data was clear from the start: risk was highest for the elderly, obese, and those with comorbidities. Healthy children never needed the shot—and never should’ve been forced to get it.

There are parts of the tax bill I don’t like—especially the SALT expansion. But the alternative is a $5 trillion tax hike on the American people. Congress had to get this done.

Encouraging news. DOGE is rooting out waste, axing DEI bloat, and saving taxpayers billions. But executive orders aren’t enough—Congress must act to make these cuts permanent before a future administration reverses them.

If Congress didn’t pass this tax bill, it’s a $5 trillion tax hike on the American people. The CBO was way off its revenue forecast last time—and may be again. The real driver of our deficits is entitlement spending, but neither party will touch it. And bond market turmoil

America is still the strongest economy in the world—but we’re not being honest about our $36 trillion debt. For the first time ever, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the interest on our debt exceed our revenue. Neither party wants to talk about the real drivers of our

This is the progressive theory of what judges should do: decide first which policies are "good" and which are "evil," then apply different rules to them on that basis. It's the antithesis of the rule of written law.

This was always the case. The Constitution gives Congress—not the executive—the power to tax. Tariffs are taxes, and that authority belongs to Congress.

The Senate might tweak the tax bill, but don’t expect major changes. With a 215–214 House vote, there’s not much room to maneuver. Some senators want deeper cuts, others want fewer—but the final bill will likely look a lot like what the House passed.

Protectionist trade policy is Trump’s core belief—one of the few positions he’s held consistently. No president has stretched tariff authority like this, using IEEPA, 232, 301—time for Congress to reassert tax authority rather than leaving tax policy to the whims of one man.

There are few people who contributed more to President Trump’s success in the first term, who were not in the administration, than Leonard Leo and the team at the Federalist Society. The transformation of the court is one of President Trump’s enduring legacies, and that

If you look at many of the landmark decisions in the last couple of years — overturning Roe v. Wade, decisions affirming the Second Amendment, Chevron deference — all of these victories were possible because of Leonard Leo and his team who helped to reshape the courts. It is a
