Incendiary rhetoric about the war between Israel and Hamas is contributing to a stark rise in Islamophobia and antisemitism in the U.S. — and raising the risk that violent words could turn into actions. Three 20-year-old Palestinian men were shot and injured near the University of Vermont on Saturday after being confronted by a white man with a handgun while walking along a street — an incident federal authorities are investigating as a possible hate crime. Attorney General Merrick Garland said Monday a “sharp increase” in threats against Jewish, Muslim and Arab communities across the U.S. has been recorded since…
On November 9, the Office of Management and Budget issued a revised Circular A4 giving agencies guidance on the conduct of cost-benefit analysis. I know it is hard to write a more boring first sentence to an article, but bear with me — this is important. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan issued Executive Order 12291, which required federal agencies under the president’s control to conduct a “Regulatory Impact Analysis” (RIA) when issuing regulations with an economic impact of more than $100 million in any year. The order was modified by President Bill Clinton into Executive Order 12866, but the RIA…

Sports Illustrated responded to a report alleging the magazine published AI-generated content, denying the claims but acknowledging that some articles were published under fabricated names. A spokesperson for The Arena Group, the magazine’s publisher, said the articles in question were licensed from a third-party company, AdVon Commerce, which “has assured us that all of the articles in question were written and edited by humans.” Some of the stories, however, were published by authors who used a “pen or pseudo name in certain articles to protect author privacy.” The spokesperson said “we strongly condemn” these actions and that the group has…
Rep. Kathy Manning (D-N.C.) said on Monday that Israel needs to make sure that militant group Hamas will never be able to conduct an attack on Israeli citizens again. During an appearance on NewsNation’s The Hill, Manning, who is Jewish, told host Blake Burman that Israeli forces have done an enormous amount of work to go after Hamas. She also noted that Israel still has another giant task ahead of them with securing the release of hostages still held captive by the militant group. “So we need to continue to push for the release of all the hostages, and we…
