Since last summer, when CNN NewsNight shifted to an panel discussion-only format, host Abby Phillip has been praised for consistently inviting prominent conservatives onto the otherwise lopsidedly left-wing network. But with how rarely Phillip actually permits said conservative guests to finish a point without interrupting them, NewsNight is more akin to a televised struggle session than the beacon of ideological diversity as which it’s sometimes portrayed. Summary of...

President Donald Trump's greatest achievement within six months was simply ending illegal immigration as we had once known it--without "comprehensive immigration reform" or any other rhetorical trickery. It remains difficult to find, much less deport, the 10 to 12 million illegal aliens who entered in the last four years. Those who helped break the law, by design or indifference, now believe it was moral to destroy federal immigration law but immoral to uphold it. And it is still...

Atranche of economic data released this week has exacerbated fears about the health of the U.S jobs market and the broader economy it underpins. Until recently, the labor market had been considered in fairly rude health. The White House held up better-than-expected jobs figures from June as evidence that President Donald Trump had unleashed "historic growth and prosperity for our workers." Meanwhile, the minutes of the Federal Reserve's July meeting referred to labor conditions as...

When the United States pushed to reduce tariffs and other trade barriers in the wake of World War II, much of the world followed its lead, embracing the argument from America’s leaders that increasing trade would increase prosperity. Now, as President Trump pushes to reverse that history, raising new barriers to limit imports, it is increasingly clear that the world is no longer persuaded by America’s approach to economic policy. Other nations are not, for the most part, retaliating against...

The United States has "lost" India and Russia to China, President Donald Trump said early Friday. The president, posting a photograph of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping, quipped on Truth Social that it "Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China. May they have a long and prosperous future together!" Trump's comments were in response to a photo taken during last week's ...

Republican senators are sending clear signs of disapproval and unhappiness with Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., making it plain to President Trump that they want the administration to address the chaos that Kennedy has caused by trying to rewrite the nation’s vaccine policies. GOP senators have stopped short of calling on Kennedy to resign and haven’t yet said they regret voting for him in February, but they want him to back off efforts to change vaccine policy...

This week’s dramatic court ruling that Donald Trump’s sweeping trade tariffs, which he has used to upend global trade, were in fact illegal is the latest in a series of losses for the president’s radical agenda that are ultimately heading for a final showdown in the US supreme court. Trump has already asked the supreme court to overturn the lower court ruling in the tariffs case. Almost certain to follow are Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans, his...
