New Federal Rules for Independent Contractors Will Destroy Freelancers’ Livelihoods
The Labor Department just imposed 300 pages of new regulations to reclassify many individual contractors as payroll employees. CNBC claims this could help freelancers “recover lost wages.” That’s just nonsense. The new rules will make it harder for some freelancers to support a family. My new video shows how it will also make it harder […]
Trump’s Abortion Stance Is Convenient, but That Does Not Mean He’s Wrong
“On abortion,” The New York Times claims, former President Donald Trump “chose politics over principles.” In reality, Trump’s recent clarification of his abortion position is one of those rare instances when political expedience coincides with constitutional principles.

Try, Try Again
Handouts to voters: Though his first attempt at student loan forgiveness was struck down by the Supreme Court in June of last year (Biden v.

Embracing a Federalist Approach to Abortion, Trump Condemns Democrats As ‘Radical’
In a Truth Social video posted this morning, Donald Trump says abortion policy should be left to the states. The result, he noted, will be a wide range of restrictions, with different states drawing lines at different points in pregnancy. Although he does not say which cutoff he prefers, he has previously said Florida’s “heartbeat” […]
Biden Announces Second Attempt at Widespread Student Loan Forgiveness
On Monday, President Joe Biden announced a second attempt at federal student loan forgiveness.
