President Trump issued a flurry of additional executive orders and presidential memoranda this week, many of which concerned regulatory policy. One EO in particular, “Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads,” symbolizes much of what we are seeing from the early stages of Trump’s second term. The EO sends a message, but might not quite do what the President wants or what you might think (and has been characterized inaccurately by early media reports). It also highlights how the […]
New York state Sen. Patricia Fahy (D–Albany) has introduced a bill to strip Tesla Motors of its permits for in-person sales in the state over CEO Elon Musk’s actions in the Trump administration. “The bottom line is, Tesla has lost their right to promote these when they’re part of an administration that wants to go backwards,” said Fahy, who has previously been a supporter of electric vehicles. “Elon Musk was handed a privilege here.” Tesla is the only […]
Tariffs are legacy projects for statists who want to be remembered as ‘fighters’ instead of failures. They hijack voluntary trade between free people and turn it into a political stunt, all to get their name in the history books. But here’s the catch, you’re the one paying the price. Prices go up. Markets distort. Businesses suffer. And all for what? So a president can claim he ‘stood up to China’? So future speeches can say, ‘We protected American […]

Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Ottawa and founder of the Centre for Research on Globalization, Michel Chossudovsky, on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the beginning of NATO’s aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, reminds that it was NATO’s first official war against a sovereign country—but not the last—as this war agenda was later used in various conflicts, with media propaganda playing a significant role, which is still evident today in the case […]
Kayla Susalla One of the slew of executive orders President Donald Trump issued since assuming office includes re-evaluating visa programs to weed out potential national security threats. In response, federal agents have detained, and are seeking to deport, multiple international college students and faculty members, and universities have issued warnings advising students that traveling to certain countries could impact their ability to re-enter the US. While keeping Americans safe remains a top priority, it is important to recognize the benefits international students […]
Despite Africa being the world‘s poorest continent, western elites are still pushing African governments to divest of carbon-based fuels and turn to high-cost and ineffective “green” energy. This is a death sentence for many of Africa‘s poorest people.
Court Confirms That, If Proven, DOGE’s Ongoing Access to Personnel Records Is Illegal NEW YORK—A lawsuit seeking to stop the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from disclosing tens of millions of Americans’ private, sensitive information to Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) can continue, a federal judge ruled Thursday. Judge Denise L. Cote of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York partially rejected the defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which was […]
