[ad_1] Congress loves to wrap legislation in the language of the public interest. This year’s surface transportation reauthorization bill is no exception. Supporters describe the House Transportation Committee–passed package as a major safety bill designed to make America’s transportation system more secure and efficient. Beneath their rhetoric lies the familiar Washington story of a bill shaped less by evidence than by the demands of organized interests. Perhaps the clearest example comes from the rail provisions. If the bill is being driven by a coherent safety philosophy, why would legislators soften rules requiring the faster replacement of old hazardous-materials tank cars,…

[ad_1] Against the horrific high- and low-tech butchery of Palestinians and Lebanese by Israeli ethno-nationalist psychopathic killers, this week there will be an effort in Congress to formally merge or integrate the military of Israel and the United States at the most advanced levels. Section 219 (formerly Section 224) of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act of 2027, provides for an unprecedented unification. The nearly $4 billion in the NDAA for Israel’s offensive efforts pales next to Israel having direct access to determining use of $1.5 trillion in annual military resources of the United States. Money can be appropriated one…

[ad_1] My cousin was born on the Fourth of July. He wasn’t Tom Cruise in a wheelchair, just an ordinary English boy to whom, other than the annual anniversary of his own existence, the occasion meant absolutely nothing whatsoever. Sometimes, when he was very small, his parents would highlight footage of Fourth of July celebrations taking place thousands of miles away across the Atlantic whenever they appeared in Hollywood movies, and lie that such pretty fireworks were all being staged for his own personal birthday benefit. He believed them. My cousin was not, and is not, a retard. He helps…

[ad_1] The nation’s 250th has been on President Donald Trump’s mind for years. In May 2023, then-candidate Trump previewed his plans for “the most spectacular birthday party,” should he win reelection. “On day one, I will convene a White House task force called Salute to America 250,” Trump said in a video announcement. “It will be responsible for coordinating with state and local governments to ensure not just one day of celebration but an entire year of festivities across the nation, starting on Memorial Day 2025 and continuing through July 4, 2026.” Trump promised a Great American State Fair to…

[ad_1] This week, President Donald Trump signed a “Freedom to Fix” memo, reviving debates over how easy it should be for Americans to fix their cars.  The memo, signed on Monday, asks the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to clarify “what actions individuals may take on their own vehicles to conduct emission repairs” consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA). The memo also seeks to lower repair costs by reducing reliance on the California Air Resources Board, the sole certifier of CAA-approved aftermarket parts. Finally, it states that the EPA “shall consider deprioritizing civil tampering enforcement actions against anyone who, in…

[ad_1] In November 2025, the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research identified 10 child deaths related to the COVID-19 shots. In December 2025, the agency reduced the number to seven after downplaying the connection in at least two of the children’s autopsies, according to documents released last week by Sen. Ron Johnson. Scientists at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) “spun” the autopsy results of children who died after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, reducing the number of children the agency classified as having likely died as a result of their vaccination, according to documents released last week by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).…

[ad_1] The Democratic Socialists are right: This is no time for half measures. If the United States is to thrive for another 250 years, we must commit ourselves to a profoundly radical vision of the future. Our present divisions, strains, and discontents are so severe, they demand nothing less than a revolutionary response – one that reimagines our relationship to each other and our government. This is a daunting task. Fortunately, there is a simple principle that can guide us:   We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their…

[ad_1] On June 24, in the Oval Office, the secretary general of NATO stood up from his chair, walked over to a pair of presentation boards, and began a sales pitch. Mark Rutte had brought charts. He pointed at the first one and gave it a brand name. He called it the “Trump Trillion,” the extra money Europeans and Canadians have poured into defense since Donald Trump first took office in 2017 – $1.2 trillion all told, with more than $250 billion of it in the past two years alone. Then he turned to the president and delivered the line…
