China doesn’t have an empire. The United States doesn’t need to saber-rattle. And we really don’t need to fight these forever wars.

California’s post-Reagan drift into the welcome arms of the corporate-friendly Democratic Party has meant a politics that looks like an elite lifestyle brand. It’s a state where social liberalism reigns, but so does staggering poverty and inequality. The Democratic Party has failed California and unless things change, it will continue to fail our nation.

Thanks to Donald Trump’s support and Joe Biden’s failure to intervene, private equity is inching ever closer to tapping into the trillions of dollars sitting in Americans’ retirement savings plans.

Democrats are hoping to win the midterms by touting the pared-down Inflation Reduction Act and their (modest) commitment to abortion rights. That might work in November — but it’s a poor strategy for reversing hemorrhaging support among working-class voters.

Joe Biden has announced sanctions on Israeli settlers in Palestinian territory. But the sanctions themselves are toothless — a way to signal displeasure with the Israeli government without actually doing anything to change the situation.

The United States is excluding Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua from the forthcoming Summit of the Americas. Washington probably wasn’t expecting that much of Latin America, led by Mexico’s Andrés Manuel López Obrador, would publicly push back in response.

As millions of Americans struggle with the high cost of living, the Democratic leadership seems out of touch. It could cost them in the upcoming midterms.

With her deep and long-standing ties to the Silicon Valley elite, Kamala Harris’s selection as Joe Biden’s running mate has corporate leaders breathing a deep sigh of relief. In picking the California senator, Biden couldn’t be clearer that his will be an administration dedicated to shoring up a crumbling status quo.

Multiple reports say Bernie Sanders hasn’t ruled out another presidential campaign. He should go for it.

The Democratic Party, and the US political system as a whole, is a very strange beast.

The only way to stop a bloody and electorally disastrous regional war in the Middle East is for President Joe Biden to do the one thing he wants to avoid: cut off military aid to Israel.

Despite the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, the topic of Israel’s genocide came up only briefly in Thursday's presidential debate. But Trump and Biden said enough to make it clear that they’re competing over who’s more pro-Israel.

Joe Biden promised to safeguard workers in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. So far, that hasn’t happened.

President Biden came into office promising to lead a robust effort to vanquish coronavirus. So far, he has failed.

Joe Biden’s historic visit to the picket line yesterday would never have happened if the UAW simply cozied up to Biden. As the union showed, you don’t win by showing deference to Democratic elites — you use the leverage you have to extract concessions.

How he lost and where we go from here.

Four key figures in Bernie Sanders’s quest for the White House on what really happened.

Know Your Enemy is a podcast about conservatism that takes analyzing its ideas and actions seriously. As we approach the end of Trump's presidential term, we talked to its hosts about the state of the Republican Party and the Right after nearly four years of President Trump.
