In recent years, America’s campus mandarins have been given one opportunity after another to lead by fostering constructive discourse. They have manifestly failed at that task. When disputes or events focused attention on abortion, policing, race, gender, and more, college officials have rushed to issue statements to declare their fealty to the progressive cause (whatever that happens to be).

The federal government’s debt is massive and growing rapidly. How massive? Federal debt held by the public of $28.5 trillion is eight times larger than the combined debt of all state and local governments of $3.3 trillion. Not only is state and local debt much smaller, but the states have more justification for accumulating debt than the federal government. That is because a larger share of state‐local spending is for capital investment, which is partly financed by debt.

For Planned Parenthood, June is the cruelest month. Last year, on June 24, at the end of a blockbuster Supreme Court term, the high court issued its landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. That ruling overturned Roe v. Wade and clarified once and for all that the Constitution did not, in fact, ever confer a right to abortion.

The Inflation Reduction Act offers a master class in implementing expensive, counterproductive, and highly partisan energy policy. In previous posts, I discussed 1) how the electricity generation subsidies in the Inflation Reduction Act could cost taxpayers $2.5 or $3 trillion and 2) why policymakers should remove those subsidies before expanding the high‐voltage transmission system.

In a desperate effort to keep the lights on, democratic countries around the world are inadvertently financing dictatorships. Natural gas prices hit record highs in early 2022, largely stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and geopolitical kerfuffles with the other two largest exporters, China and Iran. While speculators and magnates around the world were able to adjust, families weren’t always so lucky, as prohibitively expensive energy costs became a fact of life for many households.

In the first days of the school year, teachers in many of Fairfax County’s classrooms distributed surveys to students that included questions regarding gender identity and preferred pronouns. The district’s superintendent, Michelle Reid, has stated that she is defying Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R-VA) model policies for public education, which require that schools notify parents of such discussions.

I was saddened to learn of the passing of Katja Bullock, a friend and former colleague of mine and a legend in Republican politics. I got to know Katja well during my time as secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under President Donald Trump. Katja initially ran the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, which coordinated all the hiring and staffing decisions for the agency.

Since its creation in 2007, the National Human Trafficking Hotline has connected concerned citizens, trafficking victims, and local law enforcement in a concerted national effort to end human trafficking and help its victims find the pathway to recovery. But the hotline has recently been rendered ineffective by the very organization chosen to operate it: Polaris.

Activist judges who believe the propaganda on “lifesaving” “gender-affirming” care for minors are weeping into their lattes this month as a second federal appellate court has just upheld a duly enacted state law banning these practices for children. A few short weeks after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit upheld Tennessee’s law banning “gender-affirming” care for minors in the state, the 11th Circuit followed suit and upheld Alabama’s law prohibiting the same.
