Over four years after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, the Trump administration is making policy decisions that will keep Afghans who are stuck in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) pipelines in limbo. There are currently about 1,100 Afghans in the USRAP and SIV program who are stranded at Camp As Sayliyah (CAS) in Qatar. The U.S. Department of State flew Afghan evacuees to the base in order to carry out final vetting before relocating them to the U.S., but since the Trump administration suspended the USRAP via executive order on January 20, 2025, and…
Spring signals a critical time for preppers to audit supplies, refresh skills and update contingency plans, treating preparedness as a continuous lifestyle. Conduct thorough checks of canned goods, grains, medical supplies and fuel for expiration, damage or depletion. Keeping a printed catalog ensures accuracy. Test survival tools (e.g., tents, filters and generators) and practice essential skills (firearms, navigation, first aid) to prevent failures in emergencies. Fix winter-damaged gear such as tarps, blades and shelter materials and learn basic DIY repairs via tutorials to maintain self-reliance. Study past disasters (e.g., Hurricane Harvey) to refine strategies, adding new tools (rafts, alternate routes) and…

Can states force public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms? The Supreme Court may soon decide this, after a federal appeals court upheld a controversial Texas law earlier this week. On Tuesday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Senate Bill (S.B.) 10, requiring Texas public schools to display posters of the Ten Commandments in a “conspicuous place.” It also requires that the posters, which must be at least 16 inches wide and 20 inches tall, display a specific version of the commandments. Any classroom without a poster “may, but is not required to, purchase posters or copies…
NA The rise of “abundance liberalism” is one of the few good political developments of the last few years. Abundance liberals and related thinkers like Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson (authors of the best-known book promoting the movement), Matt Yglesias, Catherine Rampell, Kelsey Piper, Noah Smith, Jerusalem Demsas, and others are left-liberals who advocate market-based approaches to a variety of important issues. Smith and famous law professor Cass Sunstein have even written recent articles expression new-found appreciation for libertarianism. I think the growth of this movement is extremely promising, even though it has some flaws and internal contradictions. And…
Do the internal Supreme Court memos concerning the stay of the Clean Power Plan reveal judicial hypocrisy or a failure of the justices to apply the proper standard of review? Many commentators seem to think so. Many also seem to think the memos (and those by the Chief Justice in particular) contain errors or omissions that were not commented upon by the other justices. At Divided Argument, William Baude and Richard Re respond to the claims that the Court failed to adequately or consistently account for irreparable injury to the government and did not apply the appropriate standard of review.…
