On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said that “Iran needs to get their act together. The IRGC, together with their political leadership, need to speak with one voice, and you’ve seen throughout this conflict that that doesn’t happen.” But “I think we’re closer than we’ve ever been to a deal” with Iran. Whitaker said, “[I]f the Iranians continue to not move quickly towards a deal, we have the world’s most powerful military. … But let’s hope that this deal can be negotiated, that the Iranians are finally going to…
The Myth of the Explicit Reaction Function’s Necessity Critics of Kevin Warsh’s new approach to monetary policy have fixed upon a strange idol: the reaction function. The careful critics insist they are not demanding forward guidance. It’s just fine for the Fed to give up this heirloom of the financial crisis. They merely want the chairman to articulate the Fed’s “reaction function,” describing in detail how the central bank will adjust interest rates as inflation, unemployment, growth, and financial conditions change. But this is largely a distinction without a difference. A promise tied to a date is calendar-based forward guidance. A…

GOP Rep.

Are you going to drop out of this race? Are you going to resign? You know, are you going to get out before the deadline?” Miller told interviewer Jake Tapper. “And my answer to you, Jake, is no.” “No one has told me to get off the…
The Democratic Party’s fractures will be on full display tonight. Whether they can be remedied will determine how the party does in November and beyond. After months of flaying each other in Michigan’s divisive Senate primary, either Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) or former public health official Abdul El-Sayed will have just three months to win over the other’s supporters in order to defeat former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers and help Democrats’ chances of taking back the Senate. It’s a trend that has played out across the map as Democratic primaries have exposed the party’s major divisions on issues from Israel…
For Western Europe’s uneasy coalition, proxy war, arms buildup and trans-Atlantic dependence have become glue The outlines of a new Western collective are beginning to emerge and at its center is Western Europe, for which the Russian threat has become a source of unity in a period of upheaval and uncertainty. To avoid direct confrontation, Ukraine is being enlisted as a willing proxy, while a common military-industrial system is being built around supporting it, above all through the production of drones.The long-term argument is that this will also strengthen Western Europe’s own defense capabilities, and assistance to Ukraine can therefore…

The wave of violence committed by ICE officers only continues to increase, while the agency implements new changes against transparency and accountability, and top officials blatantly threaten more bloodshed on American streets.

Part one of this series documented how Trump’s immigration crackdown served to empower the police state, using immigration enforcement as a false pretext advancing a campaign to target and intimidate…
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian published an edited, pre-recorded video on Tuesday teasing a new interview in state media in which he insisted he is not planning on resigning from the office. The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) announced that Pezeshkian’s “candid conversation with the public will be released in four parts, beginning tonight,” and will include effusive denials that he is seeking to step down. Pezeshkian, “elected” in a rigged election following the mysterious death of predecessor Ebrahim Raisi in 2024 as a “moderate,” has been the subject of repeated rumors that his relationship with the terrorist Islamic Revolutionary…
