View from Away: Cut off travel for pregnant troops based in a state where abortion is banned? That’s outrageous
In the military, service members don’t have much control over where they live or travel. That means they could be stationed on a base in a state that essentially bans abortion and have no access to reproductive care when they need it. That’s why U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III last October directed all […]

Conor Sen: The White House knows where inflation’s headed. You can too
The White House embraced “Bidenomics” to describe its economic agenda last month, reclaiming a term that President Joe Biden’s detractors have frequently used as a pejorative. Various administration officials have since talked up its ambitions. I have no doubt that they’re sincere about the importance of the middle-class, infrastructure investments and union jobs with an […]

Tom Waddell: Maine does right thing by protecting reproductive rights
Abortion is health care. Every man, woman, and child needs the women in their lives to have an abortion when she decides it is in the best interest of herself or her family. No one, except those who want to take away a woman’s right to choose, would want any woman to forgo any medical […]

Robert Hayne’s angry defense of slavery and of a state’s right to nullify federal law. Leading up to the Civil War in 1861, Southerners loved an America […]

Commentary: What can make a difference between life and death during a heat wave
Weather forecasts have gotten quite good over the years, but their temperatures aren’t always spot on — and the result when they underplay extremes can be lethal. Even a 1-degree difference in a forecast’s accuracy can be the difference between life and death, our research shows. As economists, we have studied how people use forecasts […]

Commentary: Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling offers a less divisive way to deal with inequities
The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent affirmative action ruling should not be treated as a racial companion of last year’s reversal of long-standing reproductive rights. The court’s ruling related to programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina preserves a foundational principle, whereas the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, destroyed a foundational […]

Stephen L. Carter: Social media rebuff shows Biden overstepped on COVID misinformation
Picture a Republican administration “engaging” with social media companies to “recommend” that they delete or slow the spread of posts discussing voter suppression. Why? Because the White House’s experts have “debunked” most of the claims, and the rest, even if not “provably false,” nevertheless are “dubious.” Imagine that some of the “requests” are as specific […]
