Two members of the Heritage Foundation’s board of trustees have resigned their posts amid disagreements about the organization’s future and ongoing fallout over a video from Heritage President Kevin Roberts defending Tucker Carlson.Trustees Shane McCullar and Abby Spencer Moffat tendered their resignations in separate letters. Though they did not mention Roberts or Carlson, McCullar referenced antisemitism while Moffat condemned “lapses in judgment” from leadership. “Heritage’s handling of recent challenges reveals a drift from the principles that once defined its leadership. When an institution hesitates to confront harmful ideas and allows lapses in judgment to stand, it forfeits the moral authority…

U.S. and Ukrainian officials said Monday that Washington had pledged to protect Ukraine against further Russian attack. The goal is to ease the path to Kyiv’s signing on to a truce. The question of territory and Russia’s willingness to agree to a deal without ceding territory is far from resolution. It isn’t meant to be a final deal. It’s only meant to bring them closer together. “Things are seemingly going well, but we’ve been saying that for a long time, and it’s a difficult one,” President Donald Trump said Monday in the Oval Office after a conversation with Zelensky and…

For 40% of women, abortion grief can last for decades, according to a new peer-reviewed study examining a random, nationally representative sample of women 41 to 45 years of age. The study compared women with a history of abortion to those with a history of miscarriage and other natural losses. Symptoms of prolonged grief disorder were common among both groups, but especially for women whose abortions were unwanted or coerced. These findings point to a largely ignored mental burden on millions of women across the country. Researchers analyzed responses from 1,925 women drawn from a topic-blind national panel. Among them,…
EU’s Tech Regulation: Privacy For The Powerful, Surveillance For The Rest Protecting kids is a weak pretext for total digital surveillance. What’s worse, the EU’s monitoring exempted its own politicians from scrutiny. Their privacy matters, but not yours. Elen Irazabal Arana, Nikolai G. Wenzel | The Daily Economy Last month, we lamented California’s Frontier AI Act of 2025. The Act favors compliance over risk management, while shielding bureaucrats and lawmakers from responsibility.

Vice President JD Vance was questioned about White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles calling Vance a conspiracy theorist. Vance embraces the conspiracy label, defines how accurate it is, then delivers a strong set of remarks in defense of Susie Wiles. WATCH: [embedded content] The overall remarks themselves are not terribly toxic to the White House, but the question of why a chief of staff would sit down for eleven interviews over 11 months with Vanity Fair remains rather curious.

Tuesday’s belated November jobs report shows the small-business economy is still struggling to shake off the hangover from the Biden administration’s affordability crisis. The data shows 64,000 jobs were created last month, with the unemployment rate ticking up to 4.6% However, the onset of numerous pro-growth policies, including lower interest rates, low inflation, deregulation, falling gas prices, and tax cuts will give America’s small business job creation engine the fuel it needs to improve hiring in 2026.The current labor market picture shows Republicans must double down on these pro-small-business policies. That starts with passing House healthcare reform legislation this week to expand association…

Despite a loss of 168,000 federal government jobs, November’s unemployment situation was “little changed,” the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported Tuesday. Due to the federal government shutdown, which lasted all of October and nearly half of November, BLS did not publish a report for October. As a result, much of Tuesday’s report compares November to September – preventing analysts and Fed Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell from placing much weight in the partial results. The November BLS report makes frequent use of the phrase “little changed” (emphasis added): “Total nonfarm payroll employment changed little in November (+64,000) and has…

Public employers can dismiss their employees for “disruptive” speech. And what is “disruptive” depends partly on how many people react negatively to the speech, and how severe their reaction is. On most college campuses, saying something negative about Charlie Kirk — the assassinated conservative activist — doesn’t enrage that many people. Not even celebrating his death does. So there isn’t a significant enough potential “disruption” to justify firing employees who disparage Charlie Kirk. But if you are at the University of Mississippi, in a conservative state, saying bad things about Kirk’s murder might enrage so many people who like Charlie…
