San Francisco is restoring eighth-grade algebra after more than a decade, with the San Francisco Board of Education voting 4-3 Tuesday night to approve the change, reversing a controversial policy that had eliminated the course in middle schools in the name of equity. The vote follows years of debate over academic rigor, access and declining outcomes, as families increasingly pushed the district to expand advanced coursework options. "Families want to see a public school system that offers rigorous coursework. This is absolutely an instructional strategy," school board President Phil Kim said, according to The New York Times. "But it’s also...

An 83-year-old veteran who was allegedly shoved onto subway tracks in New York City by an illegal immigrant with a long criminal history has died from his injuries, the Department of Homeland Security said Thursday. Richard Williams, a retired Air Force pilot, died March 17 after he and another man were allegedly pushed onto the tracks at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Station days earlier. The alleged attacker, Honduran national Bairon Posada-Hernandez, 34, was arrested March 10 and faces a murder charge. John Pena, 30, the other man allegedly pushed onto the tracks, helped pull Williams back onto the platform moments before...

A little more than two months ago, when Zohran Mamdani was still in his first days as New York City’s boy mayor, we suggested that he should be driven from office. It was that bad. Has the situation improved since then? No, it’s only become worse. Let’s start off with the mayor hosting a Ramadan iftar dinner on March 11 at City Hall, where he was joined by Muslim city workers. Well, isn’t that the prerogative of the mayor? After all, Christian elected officials have used government buildings for prayers and faith-based observances since the beginning of the republic. But...

“ Today at the Board of Supervisors, we recognized for the first time, Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan—a time observed by Muslims around the world through fasting, prayer, reflection, and acts of charity. It is a time that emphasizes compassion, gratitude, and a deep sense of community....”

Archaeologists have uncovered a 2,000–year–old sling bullet with a taunting message for its target – 'Learn your lesson'.The small, almond–shaped weapon, which would have been shot out of a handheld projectile pocket, was found in the remains of the ancient city of Hippos in Israel.It measures 3.2 x 1.95cm (3.2 x 0.76 inches), weighs 38 grams and was likely used by the Greek defenders of the city.While dozens of lead sling bullets have been found at the site, this one stands out – as it is the first one to bear this specific inscription...And it joins similar bullets inscribed with...

One of the most revolting aspects of the terrible story of the murder of Sheridan Gorman was the reaction of Chicago Alderwoman Maria Hadden, who is, of course, a Democrat. Gorman was a freshman at Loyola University Chicago who was walking on the beach with her friends when an illegal migrant named Jose Medina-Medina approached her and shot her in the head. In response, Haddon did her best to shift the blame from Medina-Medina to Gorman, claiming that she “startled” him, as if that justified murder, and completely ignored the fact that Medina-Medina was an illegal migrant who should never...

A 11-year-old boy from Minneapolis was recognized with a Citizen Honor Award in Washington, D.C., for helping save a classmate's life during a mass shooting at their school. Victor Greenawalt is among this year's six honorees -- five individuals and one nonprofit -- for showing "extraordinary bravery far beyond his years," the Congressional Medal of Honor Society said in a statement. "Instinctively, Victor protected a classmate with his own body, directly saving their life." 10-year-old Victor Greenawalt leaped in front of gunfire to protect his friend during the tragic mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. For his bravery, he is...

Trump’s second term has Democrats plotting a full-scale reckoning—targeting him, his allies, and the roots of Trumpism itself. “There will be no post-presidential peace for Donald Trump,” boomed The New Republic last week. In a lengthy piece on why the president should not expect to enjoy a restful retirement, Matt Ford laid out Donald Trump’s high crimes and misdemeanors—mostly high crimes—and accused him of having “excited domestic insurrections against us,” in the grave words of the Founding Fathers. The shuttering of the Kennedy Center may be the least of Trump’s second-term sins. In the first year since returning to power,...

In 2002, a part-time single mother at a small rocketry consultancy was driving on an LA freeway when she decided she was being an idiot for not taking a job at a startup with zero successful launches and seven employees. Gwynne Shotwell joined SpaceX as employee number seven. Her job: convince governments and corporations to buy rides on rockets that didn't exist yet. The Falcon 1 failed three times. On the fourth attempt, September 2008, it reached orbit. Two months later, Shotwell negotiated a $1.6 billion NASA contract that saved the company from bankruptcy. She was promoted to President the...

Xcel learned the hard lesson that if you feed the crocodiles, do not be surprised when they bite you. Alex Epstein was not exaggerating when he wrote recently that we are all indebted to the politicians who have cut solar and wind subsidies and saved our grid by incentivizing reliable generation, which was having its operating revenue looted by subsidized, unreliable solar and wind. Of course, more work to preserve reliable generation is required at the state level, but at least sanity has returned to federal energy policy. However, the political sphere is only one arena in which the struggle...

The Senate has approved a deal to fund TSA and most DHS agencies - but not ICE - ending a 42-day shutdown that has thrown America's airports into chaos. The bill, passed unanimously without a roll call, now goes to the House, which is expected to take it up Friday. Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune admitted the bill was 'not the way to fund the Department. But, we were out of time.' 'The Dems wanted reforms,' Thune said. 'We tried to work with them on reforms. They ended up getting no reforms but, you know, we're going to have...

Fortune has named Tesla to its America’s Most Innovative Companies 2026 list, and the timing could not carry more weight. With Cybercab production ramping at Gigafactory Texas and a driverless Robotaxi service expanding to key cities in the US, Tesla’s inclusion is a direct reflection of the future of innovation happening right now. Fortune’s list, produced annually in partnership with Statista, evaluates 300 companies across three dimensions: product innovation, process innovation, and innovation culture. This year’s cohort of 300 generated over $12.5 trillion in combined revenue, and Tesla’s entry places it alongside Rivian, which made the list for the first...

President Donald Trump is adding his name to U.S. dollar bills, the first time a sitting president’s signature will go on paper currency, the Treasury Department announced Thursday. Trump’s signature will go on the bills in honor of the country’s 250th anniversary, the Treasury said. Historically, paper currency carries the signatures of the treasury secretary and the treasurer. “The President’s mark on history as the architect of America’s Golden Age economic revival is undeniable," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. "Printing his signature on the American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved.” U.S. paper currency...

Trump supporters have known for years that the fake news lies. CNN, ABC, The New York Times, MSNBC—they manufacture narratives, anoint heroes, and demonize conservatives to demoralize and divide. That’s not news. The harder pill to swallow is that a parallel grift operates inside the right-wing tent, wearing MAGA jerseys while running the same playbook. For years, I’ve called these saboteurs the “Koch Libertarian RINOs” and warned my readers about them. They may call themselves different names and operate in different ways, but the result is always the same. They built empires on the back of MAGA, and then they...

A student at Stanford University opened up about the disturbing ways in which Chinese Communist Party agents allegedly stalked her, mentioning her mother, demanding she delete material on her phone, and harassing her with a blitz of calls. Elsa Johnson, a junior majoring in East Asia studies, testified to the House Committee on Education & the Workforce on Thursday about how the chilling alleged “transnational repression” against her began and ripped Stanford for being “very reluctant to engage with me” on it. “I’m here because I was personally targeted by a suspected agent of the Chinese Communist Party while conducting...

The Treasury Department announced that President Trump’s signature will appear on newly printed dollar bills — a first in American history — ahead of the country’s 250th anniversary. “There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. Treasurer Brandon Beach, whose name will be omitted to make way for Trump’s own, added: “Printing his signature on the American currency is...
