The sight is as jarring as it is constitutionally significant: FBI agents are now patrolling the streets of the nation’s capital, not to investigate a major federal crime, but to run license plates alongside local D.C. police. This “surge” of federal law enforcement, and President Trump’s accompanying threat of a full “federal takeover” of Washington,…

While the nation’s attention has been focused elsewhere, a series of federal court rulings and new political initiatives have quietly created fertile ground for the resurgence of “conversion therapy.” This is not a debate happening in the abstract; it is a real-world consequence of a shifting legal landscape. The result is a new constitutional battleground.…

President Trump is celebrating a flood of new money into the nation’s coffers. “We have a lot of money coming in,” he recently declared, pointing to the nearly $30 billion in tariff revenue the U.S. collected last month alone. The President has floated bold ideas for this windfall, from paying down the national debt to…

This past week, the nation witnessed two deeply alarming events. A reference to presidential impeachment vanished from a Smithsonian exhibit on the “Limits of Presidential Power.” Days later, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics was summarily fired just hours after releasing a disappointing jobs report. Viewed in isolation, these might seem like minor…

In a deeply ironic and constitutionally alarming development, the Office of Special Counsel—the independent federal agency tasked with preventing the politicization of the U.S. government—has launched an investigation into former Special Counsel Jack Smith.

In a stark and sobering social media post on Friday, the President of the United States announced he had “ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned” in response to “highly provocative statements” from a top Russian official. This is not a routine military update. It is a raw and unfiltered demonstration of the most awesome…

In a rare and constitutionally significant public address, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has provided a sober diagnosis of a problem plaguing our system of government. Speaking at a judicial conference, he explained why the Court’s controversial “emergency docket” has become so active: because presidents of both parties are increasingly trying to govern by executive…

A quiet but powerful referendum on governance is taking place across the United States. It is not happening at the ballot box, but on the interstate highways. A new analysis of IRS migration data reveals a massive, decade-long exodus of people and prosperity from a handful of Democrat-run states to a handful of Republican-run ones,…

Have you ever stood at a pharmacy counter, looked at the price of a prescription, and wondered why that same exact pill, made in the same factory, costs a fraction of the price in Canada, France, or Japan? President Trump has now forced this question onto the national stage, launching an aggressive new campaign to…
