Donald Trump wants to cut taxes if he gets a second term. On Thursday, the former president told a group of influential business leaders—Apple's Tim Cook and JPMorgan Chase's Jamie Dimon among them—that he supports reducing the corporate income tax from 21 percent to 20 percent. He prefers a "round number," according to The New York Times. While that may not seem like a massive difference, it is quite a contrast with President Joe Biden's tax policy. The 2017 corporate tax cuts are set to expire in 2025, at which point the tax rate would revert to 35 percent. Biden has proposed a corporate tax...

Hunter Biden, the troubled son of President Joe Biden, was convicted this week of three charges related to illegally purchasing a gun while suffering from drug addiction. It is fair to ask whether prosecutors should have brought these charges in the first place; Reason's Jacob Sullum described the violated law in question as "widely flouted, haphazardly enforced, and constitutionally dubious." Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.) wrote on X: "Hunter might deserve to be in jail for something, but purchasing a gun is not it. There are millions of marijuana users who own guns in this country, an...

A lot of people have theories about what Palestinians want, whether it's protesters in New York calling for a Hamas victory, U.S. President Joe Biden trying to set up a demilitarized Palestinian state, or Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming that Palestinians can't rule themselves. But very few people have bothered to actually ask Palestinians what they want. The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) released its latest poll data from the West Bank and Gaza on Wednesday. It turns out that Palestinians are unhappy with all of the current options—including the B...

Republicans hold Merrick Garland in contempt. This has long been true, but on Wednesday the GOP-controlled House of Representatives made it official. In a near-total party-line vote, with only Rep. Dave Joyce (R–Ohio) crossing the aisle, House Republicans voted to hold the attorney general in contempt of Congress for refusing to release recordings of an interview President Joe Biden did with Special Counsel Robert Hur as part of the president's classified documents case. Back in February, Hur controversially declined to prosecute Biden for keeping classified documents at his private residence,...

Biden's flagging economy: Despite warning signs following excessive federal government pandemic-era spending, a recession never materialized. Inflation has been partly tamed (though at the cost of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve). The jobless rate is good, wage growth is decent, and yet still, voters just don't feel like the economy has improved much for them. People who want to buy houses that better fit their needs feel locked into place by the previous era of low interest rates, and they can't afford new places due to the high interest rates that will most likely stick around for a while....

How much of Hamas can remain? President Joe Biden has proposed a ceasefire plan. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not yet on board. The key plank in dispute: how much of Hamas is intact, and thus able to carry out another attack. The White House says Israel's military offensive in Gaza has crippled the terrorist group to such a degree that Hamas no longer poses a threat. The Israeli government says that it doesn't feel confident that this is true, and that it wants to see all of Hamas wiped out. "Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. This deal is an opportunity to prove whether they rea...
