Ideas do not float free of the people who hold them, and the abandonment of class has a sociological shape. The center of gravity of American progressive politics has shifted from the working class to the college-educated professional. The activists, staffers, donors, writers, and increasingly the voters who set the tone of the movement are drawn from a stratum secure enough to treat economic survival as a solved problem. For this group, politics can become what it cannot be for the…
Does a recently-created secret State Department office operate without oversight, promoting neo-Nazism? Well, the media says so. Buried under a couple of layers in the bureaucracy of the longstanding Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration is the Office of Remigration. It has been there for about a year, and though it does not appear on the State organization chart online, it also does not appear to be much of a secret. In fact, if you call Foggy Bottom they’ll connect you to it. To be fair, the State Department has not publicly identified the senior official for the Office of…
On June 11, the US House voted down — on a bipartisan basis, with 19 Republicans joining most Democrats — the latest attempt to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Absent some kind of mid-June legislative miracle, Section 702 will expire on June 12. Good! FISA itself is a terrible law, and Section 702 in particular legalizes insane levels of government spying — not just on foreigners, but on Americans. Here’s how it works: First, FISA gives the government very broad surveillance permission where foreigners are concerned. While warrants are theoretically required, such warrants are secretly issued,…
When a resurfaced clip of Joe Biden’s 1989 speech went viral in December 2025, it created an awkward moment for Democrats attacking President Donald Trump’s military campaign against alleged drug boats. In that speech, delivered as the official Democratic Party response to President George H.W. Bush’s address on the crack cocaine epidemic, then-Senator Biden declared with unmistakable clarity what he wanted the United States to do. “Let’s go after the drug lords where they live with an international strike force,” Biden said. “There must be no safe haven for these narco-terrorists and they must know it.” Biden did not stop…

When President Donald Trump appointed an obviously unqualified friend, a home builder executive, to be acting director of national intelligence, he inadvertently triggered attention to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The director of national intelligence is the head of the umbrella agency that gathers intelligence from the 17 federal spying agencies and from that data prepares and delivers the president’s daily briefing. Sec. 702, which permits warrantless spying, expires this month. Trump prefers to receive his briefings directly from the CIA and its foreign colleagues, leaving the DNI as an appendage with little to do. Nevertheless, the…
Depending on which news sources you choose to believe, Bari Weiss is either about to expand her media empire to include editorial control of CNN or she is one banana peel away from oblivion at CBS News after her dust-up with 60 Minutes practically sent her into hiding. Either way, it is a fitting illustration of the problem Weiss is ostensibly attempting to combat. Trust in the legacy media is at or near an all-time low. In response to this fact, viewers, listeners, and readers are increasingly retreating to information bubbles that entertain, titillate, and affirm at least as much…
