Under President Biden, senior officers worked to make our military less white, precipitating a recruitment crisis. Read more

The Trump administration is ending temporary protection status (TPS) for Somalia, affecting several thousand Somalis currently living in the U.S. and several hundred currently living in Minnesota under the protection.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., which challenge laws that reserve women's and girls' sports divisions in government schools exclusively for females. The great majority of Americans recognize that because men are generally far taller, heavier, faster and stronger than women, co-ed competition is unfair in most sports. But more is at stake than fairness. Those same physical differences mean that allowing male bodies on the court with girls or women is dangerous. We don't allow children to play contact sports with adults because of the obvious physical risk. Similarly, though some variability exists within the male and female pools, the normal range of physical traits differs so widely between the sexes that allowing men to compete in women's sports will inevitably expose women to a heightened risk of physical harm.

Whoever replaces Jerome Powell as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve in May knows one thing: If they don't do what President Donald Trump wants, they risk being criminally prosecuted. That was the unambiguous message in Powell's extraordinary statement yesterday, in which he vowed to continue to set monetary policy independently despite the federal grand jury subpoenas investigating his statements to Congress about alleged cost overruns in the renovation of the Fed's headquarters.
Under Trump, the F.C.C. has used obscure regulatory powers to crack down on network TV. Some conservatives are pushing back.
The Trump administration's criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is backfiring in the halls of Congress - likely one reason why investors still have yet to panic.
