🎧 The hosts discuss what can be done with public policy and in our own lives to attempt to thwart this costly disease.
When Alexander Hamilton, as the first Treasury secretary, starting in 1789, began issuing debt to borrow on the good name of the new government of the United States until now, there has never been a default on its loans. Ever. That’s 234 years of paying its obligations despite a Civil War, a…
Imagine a man trying to suavely smoke in front of a woman — with the words Cigarettes cause impotence stamped along the length of the actual cigarette.
"Congratulations to Nikki Haley for following President Trump's lead and doing a CNN town hall. Ron DeSanctimonious is too chicken to ever do something like this." -- @TrumpWarRoom
The Supreme Court’s recent decision on the limits of federal authority under the Clean Water Act has been celebrated or condemned, depending on the ideological predilections of the observer. But everyone agrees the court's opinions themselves make for rough reading. They boil down to a squab…
Politics is an exercise in pragmatism, which the agreement to avoid a default highlights
Elon Musk’s Neuralink received approval last month from the Food and Drug Administration to conduct human clinical trials, which one former FDA official called “really a big deal.” I do not disagree, but I am skeptical that this technology will “change everything.” Not every profound technological advance has broad social and economic implications.
President Joe Biden signs debt ceiling deal into law, averting historic default over the weekend.
Montana has made an unprecedented move to become the first U.S. state to ban TikTok.
TikTok is a weapon of social destruction. Created by ByteDance, a Bejing-based company, TikTok is a platform of the Chinese Communist Party and a national security threat to America.
Rising temperatures and summer often mean fun family vacations.
I’ve never had a smartphone or used social media, and I’m in my 40s. So when I see young people such as 17-year-old Logan Lane and those in her “Luddite Club” take a stand and pause the technology that’s been in their lives since birth, I am in awe.
Texas is currently America's leader in wind and solar power. It provides 28% of America's wind energy. If it were a country, it would be the fifth biggest source. Surprisingly, it's about to eclipse California in production of solar power.
The West Virginia senator owes House Speaker Kevin McCarthy a big thank you.
Supreme Court sides with cement mixing company over striking workers in latest blow to unions
🎧 The performers we see on stage, in film and on television are more diverse than ever, but this welcome change doesn’t mean there aren’t still many questions.
What words temper the loss of one child?
Here we go again.
Democratic Congressman Jared Huffman criticizes Sen. Joe Manchin for pushing for the Mountain Valley Pipeline
Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona recently confirmed that student loan repayments would begin again later in 2023, delivering what is likely to be a severe financial shock to borrowers who have not had to make payments for three years. This puts greater urgency on lawmakers to fix the flaws in the best idea for easing the transition: the "income-driven repayment" plan.
Much attention in the culture wars tends to focus on how wacky the far right can be when it comes to embracing wild conspiracy theories and internet misinformation. Think child-abuse kidnapping rings operating out of a Washington pizza parlor. Or the nutty idea that a gun massacre of kids at a Connecticut elementary school was a hoax.

FL: Gov. Ron DeSantis invited hundreds of veterans in Florida to governor's mansion for a memorial day bbq.
Here we go again. A qualified, conservative, likable Republican gets into the GOP presidential primary against Donald Trump. And then so does another one, and another, and another until eventually, the race becomes a blob of Donald Trump vs. everyone else.
Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink has been given the green light for its first-in-human clinical trial.
A large field of qualified candidates is setting up the Republican primaries for a repeat of 2016.

Durham report reveals an agency so steeped in politics that it violated its own standards
Ron DeSantis apparently wants to be president. His pitch rests on the "Florida blueprint," the stuff he's done as the state's governor. But the assumption that the American majority wants much of the DeSantis program is shaky. It's not even clear that Floridians do.
I attended two graduation ceremonies earlier this month, including a University of Georgia gala replete with fireworks at Sanford Stadium in Athens. At both events, I was struck with how many more women than men crossed the stage.
