Will state attorneys general allow their cities to make energy policy? That's the question I ask in my latest column discussing climate lawfare currently being waged by blue cities and counties across the country: https://t.co/vjCyDYHMHQ

A proposed merger of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern would foster efficiencies, but opponents say the deal would kill competition.
Faster freight. Fewer bottlenecks. Lower costs. @realDonaldTrump says the proposed Union Pacific–Norfolk Southern merger "sounds good." In today's @WSJ, I explain why this megadeal is an upgrade that regulators should get behind. https://t.co/lYuABIILyh

Long before the capture of Nicolas Maduro, energy has played a major role in U.S. foreign policy. At @NRO today, I write about how President Franklin Roosevelt unleashed American energy to fuel the Allied victory in WWII, and why this matters for a Supreme Court that will be

Mitt Romney's call to tax the rich falls apart when you look at the numbers.
reason.com
Yes, the status quo is unsustainable. But Romney's proposed solution risks making those problems harder to fix while foreclosing opportunities for the next generation.

The number one problem with taxes isn’t, as @MittRomney is saying, that the rich don’t pay enough. It’s that the tax code punishes investment except for perennially low-performing asset classes like real estate. My latest in @CivitasOutlook

Palantir cofounder @JTLonsdale: “It’s very easy to break the innovation economy.” “When I was at PayPal, there were multiple times when Spitzer here in NY almost took it out… if he had succeeded, we would not have Tesla, LinkedIn,YouTube, SpaceX…” https://t.co/9lSqG8fHiv
Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."

New York Attorney General Forum Shops Case Against CFPB to Judge Aiken in Eugene Division of District of Oregon. AG James had a 100% chance of drawing a Democratic appointee, and drew a judge that the Ninth Circuit had to repeatedly reverse.

America is going to WIN the AI race and drive down energy costs at the same time. The Trump administration is laser focused on making sure those who build data center power plants also contribute energy to the grid reducing energy costs for the local community.

Former EU commissioner Thierry Breton is saying that getting barred from the US is a 1950s-style communist witch hunt. That's like calling the Senate's decision to censure Joe McCarthy a witch hunt. It was Breton and the EU who started the witch hunt. The US response is a win for

Exactly right. As @brian_blase notes, insurers are raking in taxpayer dollars for ACA “coverage” — zero-dollar plans, ineligible enrollees, and premiums overwhelmingly paid by the public. Health care is supposed to work for patients — not bail out insurers gaming a broken
ACA “coverage” is a taxpayer-funded illusion. In 2014, enrollees paid 32% of their premiums. Today? Just 7%. Taxpayers now cover 93%—and millions aren’t even eligible. This isn’t health care. It’s a subsidy scam.

@BenSasse Devastating news and a spirited response. Ben Sasse in not so many years has contributed substantially to this country, in multiple forums, on multiple issues and in multiple states. Thanks to him and his family.

For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose. The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship. Today, @StateDept will take steps to

California’s affordability crisis is not an accident. It is the direct product of failed Democrat decarbonization policies that treat reliability as secondary and working families as collateral to the left's climate crusade. My latest for the @ocregister 👇

The Golden Age is here: US GDP Growth surges to 4.3% in Q3, shattering expectations of 3.3%. Meanwhile, CPI is down to 2.7%, beating expectations of 3.1%. And with interest rates and taxes coming down, the table is set for an even better 2026. Thank you President Trump! 🚀🚀🚀
Kudlow is right: inflation is coming down, interest rates are coming down, and tax cuts are coming in 2026. These are the conditions for a Reagan-like economic boom. Just as important, we have an AI investment super-cycle driving an extra 2% of GDP growth. Democrats like Bernie
