How well-protected is Donald Trump?
On July 13, Trump became the first U.S. president to be shot in more than 40 years, and the first to be shot during a campaign since 1912. Then, incredibly, the Secret Service stopped a second would-be assassin who was stationed with a rifle on the perimeter of Trump's golf course as the former president was one hole away: two unnervingly close calls in about two months. What's going on?

Is a nuclear renaissance about to begin on the very site of the public relations catastrophe that practically destroyed the industry 45 years ago?
Constellation Energy recently announced a deal with Microsoft to restore a retired reactor on Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island. Microsoft has agreed to purchase energy from the plant for 20 years to power its AI data centers.
A U.S. nuclear reactor has never before been brought out of retirement.
Nuclear power was once considered the clean energy source of the future, with dozens of new plants coming online in the late '60s and early '70s.
But in March of 1979, a meltdown occurred at Th...

---
The national debt held by the public tops $27 trillion. It's bigger than the entire American economy—and it's on track to grow faster and faster. In just four years, Donald Trump signed legislation that increased future debt by $7.8 trillion, more than George W. Bush and Barack Obama managed in eight years apiece. We're headed for an economic catastrophe.
So when Trump made an appearance late last week at PubKey, a bitcoin-themed bar in New York's Greenwich Village, Reason's Nick Gillespie went down to ask him about it. And he had a snappy comeback.
Less than half of Trump's new debt was related to pandemic spending. And the COVID-19 relief bill establishing the Paycheck Protection Program, which Trump signed in 2020, was so...

Why is social media so easily corrupted by the state? Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey says guys like him are the problem.
"I was a single point of failure," Dorsey said at the 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum, an annual conference hosted by the Human Rights Foundation. "It creates a chokehold. You have a company, a CEO, a board, that represents one place where an entity can put pressure on."
That was especially true during the COVID-19 lockdowns, when federal officials were in contact with every major social media platform, coercing them to remove content.

Former budget director under Reagan, David Stockman, and Stephen Moore, Donald Trump's former senior economic advisor, debate the resolution, "In the current presidential election, both Democrats and Republicans consist of a UniParty that will lead us to the bottom of the national 'policy dumpster.'"
Arguing for the affirmative is David Stockman, former budget director for the Reagan White House. He is the author of six books, the most recent being his 2024 title, Trump's War on Capitalism. He blogs on his website Contra Corner. The resolution's mention of a "policy dumpster" comes from a three-part blog Stockman authored in August.

Judge Alexandre de Moraes has blocked the site formerly known as Twitter in Brazil, where an estimated 40 million people access the site each month. Circumventing the ban on X with a VPN could get you fined about $9,000 a day, around the average per capita income in Brazil.

Part One: Beef Grief
The Year: 1946
The Problem: The price of beef is skyrocketing! And voters are angry! And it's an election year!
The Solution: Reinstitute federal war-time price controls.
Sounds like a great idea, with the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?
Turns out, artificially low prices are harder to swallow when you're the one selling.

How bad is the national debt? Just asking questions.
Our national debt—measured as federal debt held by the public—is over $27 trillion. That's approaching 100 percent of annual gross domestic product, which is higher than it's been since the end of World War II. So, are we screwed?
Or are those of us who worry about numbers like this totally misunderstanding the nature of government debt? There's a school of thought called Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) that says economists sho...
