/

On a sunny afternoon in early February, two dozen Democratic representatives, clutching smartphones and talking points, converged on the Treasury Department’s public entrance in downtown Washington, DC. For weeks, a strike force from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, loosely vetted and barely old enough to vote, had swarmed federal buildings with a mandate to […]

Why is Everybody Hating on Richie Rich?

/

For kids like me, who grew up in the 1960s and ’70s, comics were a big deal. Our media landscape otherwise consisted mainly of books and records, commercial radio, and, in my family’s case, a small black-and-white TV with a coat hanger antenna that got four staticky channels.

No, Elon Musk, Government Should Not Be Run Like a Business

/

For years, I’ve heard the familiar refrain: “America should be run like a business.” First, it came from the young Republicans at my small, conservative, undergraduate institution, advocating for Mitt Romney in 2012.
