  • Supreme Court’s docket includes pivotal cases on technology, police force, citizenship and free speech
    Feb 4 2025
    The clock is tick-tocking on the Supreme Court’s latest calendar. Several things before the nation’s highest court have national significance. First, let’s revisit what’s happening with the social media site TikTok. On Jan. 20, the Supreme Court upheld the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary-Controlled Applications Act. It’s the law that requires Chinese government–controlled corporation Bytedance to divest TikTok or have the application barred from U.S.-based platforms But President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing the TikTok ban. It provided a liability shield to business partners of the popular video app. What is interesting about the court’s decision is what the Supreme Court did not do.

  • What’s the real reason behind Trump’s annexation agenda?
    Jan 29 2025
    Now that he is President Donald Trump again, there is still talk about immigration, cabinet confirmations and the economy. But there are a myriad of questions about another focus of the president: What’s been dubbed his “Annexation Agenda.” Trump, in the past, criticized U.S. military involvement in other countries, but he did a complete turnaround in recent weeks, pushing the idea that he wants to take over Greenland from Denmark, reclaim the Panama Canal and make Canada the 51st state. And he didn’t rule out the use of military force to do so.

  • President-elect Trump’s politically charged Day One agenda
    Jan 14 2025
    Inauguration Day is Jan. 20. President-elect Donald Trump and his team made a series of promises that would happen if he were to win the election. No one will argue that 2025 got off to a turbulent start. It leaves the president-elect having to confront a difficult opening to the 2nd Trump presidency. As one analyst put it, he’ll be “confronting the kinds of crises he has long been railing against.” You’ve got the driver plowing a truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans. The detonation of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Oh, and the breach of the U.S. Treasury Department. That was a major cybersecurity incident at the hands of what’s believed to be Chinese state-sponsored hackers.
