"The Labor Department warned in an obscure document filed with the Federal Register last week that 'the near total cessation of the inflow of illegal aliens' is threatening 'the stability of domestic food production and prices for U.S. consumers.'”

This is a good example of media failure. No reason to both sides an issue when one side is making up nonsense.

This is why we need to build “Baby Maybe” apartments … to make it easier for couples to have their first child earlier

It’s at best a profoundly weird “fixed pie” moral stance: You’re a bad person for wanting the best for your kids and using the means you have to try to give it to them.

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Very happy for the great Maria Corina Machado for her well-earned Nobel Peace Prize. Here’s our chat from way back in 2009. www.cato.org/multimedia/c...

I teach in my undergrad class on the history of the US jury system that the institution's roots are in colonial juries serving as a counterweight to abuses of imperial power. The American jury has problems for sure but still can serve that roll. Don't blow off jury service.

Busybodies in Louisville want to make it harder to raise kids there.

If the Trump administration wants to use military power, it should seek authorization from Congress, says Sen. Rand Paul.

Imagine thinking that federal intervention is somehow required to address Fred Armisen attending a food-truck-catered protest.

Pass it on: When you serve on a grand jury, you’re under no obligation to indict who they want and you can conduct full investigations and indict people they don’t want indicted.

Hello fellow internet user, I see you posted a cultural reference I am not familiar with and instead of googling the reference I have chosen to take offense and make it your problem

Suggestion: Stop calling executive branch officials “judges.” www.npr.org/2025/09/23/n...

The Secret Service isn't claiming it foiled any plot targeting the UN General Assembly. Just that a big collection of SIMs (probably used for fraud) could have *potentially* disrupted NYC cell service. The SIMs were in a *35 MILE* radius of the UN.

These headlines are all pretty egregiously wrong:

Did you know this?

When a hospital purchases a physician practice or other facility, Medicare INCREASES THE PRICES it pays for the SAME people to provide the SAME services to the SAME patients in the SAME location.
