From the sidewalks of Oakland to the halls of the White House, Kamala Harris’ story is the stuff dreams are made of…the American Dream. Because where else could the daughter of immigrants rise to the highest office in the land, shattering glass ceilings all along the way? Only in America. Of course, she had plenty...
I have spent several years now thinking about the idea of authenticity, because I believe it is the quality that American society most craves, but also one that is rare and incredibly hard to define. We clearly see this in our presidential race, in which Donald Trump’s supporters view him as a straight shooter who...
As the former governor of the great State of Texas and then as secretary ofenergy, I know firsthand theenergychallenges we face as a country – fromenergygeneration and diversification to distribution capabilities, to grid resilience and security.

By trading Russian spies and criminals for wrongfully imprisoned Americans and dissidents, the deal risks encouraging Russia and other authoritarian regimes to take more hostages. The scale of the prisoner swap...
According to the conventional wisdom of the chattering class, Donald Trump’s selection of JD Vance for vice president has been an abject disaster that has the former president doubting his instincts. But the story on the campaign trail looks a little different, and the GOP may be forging a new funding base. In conversations with...
For most of the past three years, Vice President Kamala Harris has been even more unpopular than her historically unpopular boss, President Biden, due largely to her responsibility as a key player in the administration’s disastrous open border policies. In light of Harris’ failures and unpopularity, it wouldn’t have been surprising if Biden had decided...
