View from Away: An ambitious push to help small farmers
More than two years have passed since former U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue departed, but the brouhaha he created with one callous comment in the middle of his tenure remains memorable. Perdue, a Trump appointee, visited a Wisconsin expo in 2019, one attended by struggling dairy farmers. When asked about the industry’s future, […]

Robin Abcarian: Do what’s right for the planet or for your pocketbook? A fast-fashion dilemma
I realized I had a problem with internet shopping the day my 13-year-old niece looked at the packing slip in a box that had just arrived and yelled, “What — $200 for a pair of jeans?!” I can explain. I have never spent $200 on a pair of jeans in my life. Kirkland, after all, […]

Commentary: Nancy Pelosi and the protracted decay of democracy
Nancy Pelosi recently announced her intent to run for re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives. Pelosi has occupied that seat since 1987.

The decision by the House Republican leadership to open an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden — without any evidence of wrongdoing — marks a low point in the mis-deployment of the Constitution’s mechanism for removing a sitting president. Bad as it is, however, the inquiry itself won’t put the nail in the coffin of the […]

Commentary: The US and Vietnam should boost their relationship. China looms large
If you were to tell an American in 1973 that there would come a time when a future U.S. president was warmly greeted in Hanoi, he or she might have called you crazy.

Commentary: What if the United States is not ripped apart?
What if the United States is not being ripped apart?

Commentary: Bidenomics just had its first birthday. Why are so few people celebrating?
Bidenomics just had its first birthday, and less than half the country celebrated. The president has to hope that changes by the policy’s second birthday next August, just weeks before the 2024 election. If more Americans aren’t in a partying mood by then, neither will Democrats be on election night. Yet changing voters’ minds when […]

View from Away: Holding up military promotions risks compromising military readiness
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, the highest-ranking and most senior commander in the nation’s armed forces, is scheduled to retire at the end of the month. What happens then is anyone’s guess. That’s because football-coach-turned-U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville shamefully continues to erode military leadership and compromise national security by blocking […]
