It’s official. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report confirming what I wrote two months ago: the federal government is pouring hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into government-created identity verification technology, and the technology has been proven to be rife with problems.

America’s Jews are straying away from their religion and identity. Even after Hamas’s October 7 attack on southern Israel and the wave of antisemitism that engulfed America’s cities and college campuses, American Jews are far less engaged with and supportive of Israel than past generations were. And fewer and fewer Jews are practicing religion or identifying it as something important to them.

Based on the sheer volume of federal legislation, we should be experiencing a golden era in U.S. infrastructure. Between November 2021 and August 2022, Congress passed the massive Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Together those laws authorize about $1.7 trillion in spending and constitute the largest federal action on infrastructure since the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956.

On October 26, voters in the Republic of Georgia will elect their new parliament. Will they be able to break the grip of the ruling Georgian Dream party, which has set the country on a path away from the EU and NATO and toward Russian and Chinese domination? Georgia and the future of its democracy matter to the United States, especially as Beijing seeks to incorporate the country into its “Middle Corridor” and as Russia shows little willingness to abandon its imperial aspirations.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1970 requires federal agencies to assess the environmental impact of proposed federal actions and complete an Environmental Impact Statement for those that will affect the environment. However, these statements often take over a decade to complete. America’s cumbersome permitting process under NEPA continues to delay invaluable infrastructure projects.

The threat of hacking and the development of AI have left the identities of all Americans at risk, and the federal government ought to safeguard your identity with the best products on the market. Instead, the Biden Administration is set to mandate that every federal agency use the tool, Login.gov, to protect the identities of millions of people—even though several federal agencies already have scrapped Login.gov in favor of more secure private-sector offerings.
