The Trump administration has the legal tools and political will to ban medication abortion nationwide. It's waiting until after the midterms to use them — a delay that reveals the policy's architects know exactly how unpopular it is.
The Ban Flock Act targets a private surveillance network that expanded into 5,000 American communities using federal grant money — without a single congressional vote authorizing it as national policy.
A voting divide between young men and women has reached a scale with no modern precedent — and it is about to determine who controls Congress. Neither party has a strategy adequate to what is coming.
Benjamin Davis documented Gaza's hunger crisis for the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. After Israel's mission filed a complaint, he was fired. The pattern of suppressing humanitarian evidence has a name — and the FAO just became part of it.
Pennsylvania's measles outbreak has passed 1,000 cases — the worst in three decades — as New York declares a statewide emergency. The person most responsible for federal vaccine policy spent decades building the conditions that made both possible.
The $110 billion Skydance merger closed Tuesday, putting CNN, CBS, HBO, Paramount, and Warner Bros. under a single family's control — with sovereign wealth equity, a Trump ally's financial backstop, and an FCC waiver that bent its own foreign ownership rules to make it happen.
Trump speculated at a Nebraska rally that Iran could strike Los Angeles or San Diego. One Republican candidate objected. His party said nothing — and that silence is the story.
A Princeton researcher found AI can link voters to their secret ballots using public election data. Georgia called an emergency meeting. The vulnerability exists in dozens of states — and no federal body is equipped to address it.
Trump's tariffs backfired into a nationalist rallying cry for Lula, while Flávio Bolsonaro's corruption scandal deepens. But the outcome of Brazil's election will determine far more than who governs — it will test whether democratic institutions can survive an authoritarian playbook backed by foreig
The Trump administration's proposed 17,500-person refugee cap is not just historically low — it is explicitly designed to prioritize white Afrikaners, converting a humanitarian program into a racial preference system for the first time in its history.
Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao confirmed eight suicide attempts among sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group — disclosed in a letter to a senator, not a hearing. The figure is a measure of what prolonged, unauthorized deployment does to the people executing it.
A Blue Cross Blue Shield analysis found that AI-powered billing tools drove $942 million in additional healthcare costs by flagging diagnoses with no corresponding treatment. The technology isn't making care more efficient — it's making billing more profitable.
California's Supreme Court has ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to return more than 650,000 ballots his department seized in a voter fraud inquiry — ruling that law enforcement control over ballots is itself a threat to election integrity.
David Morales beat a sitting Providence mayor who vetoed rent stabilization. The win is the latest evidence that the democratic left's municipal strategy — target incumbents on housing, organize from the bottom up — is producing results.
Canada's retaliatory tariffs — matching U.S. rates dollar for dollar on hundreds of American products — aren't a diplomatic abstraction. They're a tax on farmers, manufacturers, and consumers on both sides of a border that nobody voted to turn into a trade war.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh's second block of Missouri's GOP-redrawn maps isn't a ruling against gerrymandering — it's a ruling against using courts as last-minute map-switching tools. The distinction is everything.
