Original ArticlePosted By: gaboy, 5/8/2025 4:29:20 PMIllinois governor J. B. Pritzker's 2025 budget reveals a notable retreat from progressive ambitions. Despite his past advocacy for expansive government programs and robust social spending, Pritzker proposes neither substantial tax increases nor significant new initiatives. Most conspicuously absent from his accompanying budget speech was any mention that the state would no longer fund free health care for illegal aliens aged 42 to 64.

Few elections command as much fascination as the secret conclave of cardinals gathering this week to choose the next pope.

Talking about artificial intelligence (AI) and governance at this particular moment is a daunting task. The capacities of AI are changing rapidly. While it is very likely we are in the midst of a hype cycle with respect to how reliable and useful AI can be today, the current large language models still have some impressive capacities. Everyone seems to expect more and better to come rapidly, either on the basis of those models or some other paradigm of AI.

Four spirited responses to my short essay in Liberty & Law on the battles at Lexington and Concord at their 250th anniversary prove that no significant historical event, no matter how limited in time and space—in this case, to a single day, in a single Massachusetts county—can ever be fully explained or appreciated in ten pages, or in a hundred pages, by a single historian. If it could be, history would be a much simpler and much duller enterprise than it is.

In his book Nexus Yuval Harari sneers at classical liberals and caricatures their ideas. For instance, we believe in freedom of speech not because it creates a perfect marketplace in ideas, but because the alternative of government control is worse. https://t.co/d3U7YbyD0a
Because we have a consensus against entitlement reform and increasing taxes on any but the top 2 percent, the Trump administration is taking the only way out of our fiscal crisis--creating a program of deregulation to turn liberty into an engine of growth. https://t.co/QHCfnSnyEV
