From Biden to Butker, the biggest graduation speeches so far this year
The tumultuous academic year is coming to a fittingly high-profile end for the college class of 2024, though thus far, the commencement speech that raised the most eyebrows had nothing to do with Israel's war in Gaza.
From the pro-Palestinian demonstrations that affected President Biden’s address this weekend to the viral remarks made by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker regarding women and their future, here are the most attention-grabbing speakers from this ...

Republicans must offer a bold ObamaCare alternative to put patients in control
This spring, former President Barack Obama publicly celebrated the 14th anniversary of his signature health care law, the Affordable Care Act (i.e. “ObamaCare”). But what is there to celebrate? The country’s health care system is a complete disaster, and ObamaCare made it even worse.

Biden taints Title IX with gender ideology; women, children, religious freedom hardest hit
Schoolchildren, college students and families wrapping up the school year should enjoy summer while it lasts, because the next school year will be a wild one.
More than 20 states, ranging from Georgia to Idaho, have recently filed lawsuits against the federal government for its overreach in attempting to impose gender ideology in education. The lawsuits contest the Biden administration’s expansion of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex...
We should plug the safety net’s biggest hole
Over the past half-century, the U.S. safety net has grown considerably stronger for children and elderly adults, substantially reducing poverty among them. But the story is starkly different for another group of Americans that we hear far less about: non-elderly adults, aged 18-64, who aren’t raising children and don’t have a severe enough, or long-lasting enough, disability to meet the stringent criteria for federal disability benefits.
This is no small group. In 2017, the la...
Raskin presses insurers, PBMs on free contraception coverage
The top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee wants to know how the country’s top health insurers and pharmacy benefit managers plan to make it easier for people to access contraception for free.

Biden campaign launches Spanglish health care ad
President Biden’s reelection campaign is launching a new health care ad on Tuesday, delivered in Spanglish.
It’s part of a $14 million campaign of digital ads running in battleground states during May.
“For Latino communities already facing health care disparities, this election isn’t just about politics – it’s about survival. Latinos deserve a president who is fighting to make health care better and more affordable – and that’s exactly what Presid...
