Be careful what you wish for. Until Wednesday morning, the official White House line on Robert Mueller was “case closed,” and solid opposition to congressional testimony. Now, however, The Daily Beast reports that Rudy Giuliani and other inner-circle figures want Mueller hauled before Congress — in hopes that Republicans will “eviscerate” him: Trump himself has

Joe Biden speaks at a rally with striking Stop & Shop workers in Boston, Mass., April 18, 2019. (Brian Snyder/Reuters) I enjoyed Jonah’s piece on the home page detailing the differences between Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. This paragraph deserves further amplification and explanation: But while Trump’s attacks on Clinton were surely effective at times,
In her latest video for National Review, staff writer Alexandra DeSanctis explains how, in Missouri, Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis clinic is set to lose its license to perform abortion procedures, after failing to comply with an audit to determine whether the group is following state abortion regulations.

After yesterday’s valediction from special counsel Robert Mueller, the big question was how Donald Trump would respond. Would he claim that Mueller’s statement was old news, just a recap of the report? Focus on a lack of charges? Claim that Mueller was part of an establishment out to get him? The answer, Trump made plain
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks at the National Action Network National Convention in New York City, April 5, 2019. (Lucas Jackson/Reuters) Free speech is about the right of even the lowliest citizen to stand up and speak out about what he or she sees as an injustice.

A bird flies over the Three Mile Island Nuclear power plant in Goldsboro, Pa., May 30, 2017. (Carlo Allegri/Reuters) Until they embrace nuclear energy as a key to reducing emissions, the party’s many presidential candidates will be hard to take seriously on climate change. Climate change is the No. 1 issue for Democrats, with a
Abortion activists outside the Supreme Court in 2002. (Brendan McDermid/Reuters) The Supreme Court invented a constitutional ‘right to privacy’ out of thin air — and an epidemic of abortion came not long after. Justice Thomas’s May 28th concurring opinion in the case of Box v. Planned Parenthood, expressing concern about the eugenic roots and implications
With his latest blockbuster, “Unfreedom of the Press,” Mark Levin presents a unique indictment of the liberal media today — something I doubted could be done, given the plethora of material already written on this subject. It is sweepingly comprehensive, covering the history of the American press from before the nation’s founding through modern times,

If you think it’s still too early for presidential primaries, then Donald Trump and Joe Biden have some bad news for you. The two have begun aiming at each other as though the general election had already begun, trading barbs and generally ignoring the other 347 (estimated) Democrats vying for the nomination. The AP’s Steve
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards (Jonathan Bachman/Reuters) Louisiana governor John Bel Edwards on Thursday signed legislation prohibiting abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which usually occurs around six weeks into pregnancy.

He had his breakout performance during a CNN townhall in March and drew strong ratings during his Fox News townhall in May.
(Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) No political ‘emergency’ justifies abandoning classical liberalism, and no temporal emergency could ever justify rejecting the eternal truth. Yesterday, New York Post op-ed editor Sohrab Ahmari published a lengthy essay with the rather eye-catching title, “Against David French-ism.” While the essay takes rather direct aim at me personally, it also uses me as
In a brace of scathing articles for the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship (SAFS), former Native Studies professor at Brandon University in Manitoba, Jeff Muehlbauer, recounts the doctrinal travesty and ideological perversity that has overtaken the modern academy.

Maybe they’re just the fools to try it, though. Despite Robert Mueller’s poking and Donald Trump’s goading, Nancy Pelosi hasn’t changed her mind on impeachment. A “top ally” of the House Speaker told Axios that Pelosi considers it a “fool’s errand,” and that she won’t change her mind based on Mueller’s slightly extended remarks yesterday:
(Bryan Sikora/Dreamstime) Health-care topped the list of biggest financial concerns for respondents in a new Gallup poll released Thursday. Close to 17 percent of respondents in the poll said health-care expenses are their biggest financial issue, topping the 11 percent who cited lack of money or low wages, the 9 percent who cited rent or owning a

Did Robert Mueller tell Congress to impeach Donald Trump? A number of observers heard that message from the special counsel’s public statement this morning, including ABC’s Terry Moran. If you read between the lines, Moran tells George Stephanopoulos, you can make out this coded message — I-M-P-E-A-C-H: .@TerryMoran on special counsel Robert Mueller’s statement: “This

Beto O’Rourke in Running with Beto (Charlie Gross/Courtesy of HBO) Duuuuuude. Why did we try to pitch Texas on Reality Bites Bobby Kennedy?

Louisiana governor John Bel Edwards (Jonathan Bachman/Reuters) The Louisiana state house voted this evening to pass a heartbeat bill, prohibiting abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which usually occurs at about six weeks’ gestation. The bill passed the house by a bipartisan 79-23 vote, and it passed the state senate earlier this month
Describing the Democratic Party as one built on “identity politics” used to be a pejorative. But Georgia’s failed 2018 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Stacey Abrams, recently defended this description of her party. “I would argue that identity politics is exactly who we are,” said Abrams, “and it’s exactly how we won. … When we refuse to
Mick Mulvaney might wind up as the greatest multitasker since Leonardo da Vinci, if somewhat less artistic. Mulvaney left Congress to become Office of Management and Budget Director, then took over the Consumer Financial Protection Board in a political fight over its direction. Donald Trump then tapped Mulvaney to serve as his chief of staff,
Senator Cory Booker (D., N.J.) speaks in Newark, N.J., February 1, 2019.

I’m not a fan of Mueller’s performance in the obstruction probe, but you have to give him his due: He somehow managed to completely escape the special-counsel regulations that were supposed to make him hew to long-established Justice Department practice and instead acted as an old-school independent counsel who made up his own rules and
