Trump has spent more than $25 billion on his Iran war and wants $200 billion more. Governing, the political sages tell us, is all about making choices, particularly when leadership faces finite resources and the choices are between war and peace; this is the “guns or butter” balancing raised by Lyndon Johnson’s pursuit of the Vietnam War and, appropriately, by President Trump’s Iran war. The issue has especially acute significance today, not merely because of the Iran war. Voices Hiltzik: Those job numbers tell us that Trump’s economy really stinks A huge loss in jobs is a reminder that Trump’s policies have stifled economic growth all year, and the Iran war will only make things worse. Its roster includes the cancellation of all medical debt for the 100 million Americans shouldering about $194 billion in medical debt.

Melvin Dunlap says he doesn’t know how he became a plaintiff in the nation’s largest sex abuse settlement. And yet he’s part of L.A. County’s $4-billion sex abuse settlement, identified in court filings as JOHN DOE M.D. Dunlap’s lawsuit was filed Oct. 15, 2024, by Downtown LA Law Group. The Times located 10 people represented by DTLA in the sex abuse settlement who, like Dunlap, had previously used the firm for a personal injury lawsuit. Dunlap said he does not recognize the signature on the document and never signed a retainer for a sex abuse case.

Fortunately, for Carter Baumler on Monday night, Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker had something worth talking about. (Getty Images)Baumler came into the Rangers’ exhibition game against the Kansas City Royals in relief of MacKenzie Gore in the fifth inning. But Schumaker made his appearance on the mound even after Baumler didn’t meet the three-batter requirement before he would be allowed to be removed from the game.

Emily Gregory, the Democrat running in Trump's home district in Florida, said his Mar-a-Lago residence is "not a friendly door" to knock on. via Associated PressFlorida Democrats Tuesday flipped a Republican-leaning statehouse seat that includes President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and which he had won by double digits just 16 months ago. Gregory won the votes cast by mail and in early in-person voting by 3,000 votes, enough to hold off the 2,200-margin that Maples won with votes cast on Tuesday. Florida Democrats also appeared to flip a state Senate in the Tampa area by about 500 votes. “Donald Trump’s own neighbors just sent a crystal clear message: They are furious and ready for change,” Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin said.

Experts in political science and mental health break down what the moment said about Trump — and why it’s concerning. He was joined by other officials, including Patel, Miller, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R), Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who each delivered their fair share of praise to Trump. Tillery said that when public officials appear to be “competing to flatter the president,” it sparks several concerns. This public praise session of Trump is not normal behavior for a president, experts stressed.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — President Donald Trump took classified documents related to his private business interests from the White House in 2021, according to materials the Justice Department apparently provided to the House Judiciary Committee. A grand jury indicted Trump in 2023 for improperly taking classified documents and obstructing a federal investigation. The FBI determined some of the documents Trump withheld “would be pertinent to certain business interests” of Trump’s, Raskin said, quoting from material he said the Justice Department gave the judiciary committee earlier this month. Smith made a public report of the election case, but District Court Judge Aileen Cannon has blocked the release of Smith’s report on the documents case. Smith refused to discuss the documents case, citing Cannon’s gag order.

This mother, 36 weeks pregnant, also sobbed, “What if I’d gone to the clinic?”She was considered high-risk, and recommended for twice-weekly fetal monitoring. In a recent poll of more than 500 pregnant people, 20% of the respondents said that ICE activity has deterred them from accessing prenatal care. Throughout pregnancy, and especially in the third trimester, pregnant patients are monitored closely for conditions that could place them or their babies at risk. Months later, patients are presenting in labor who have not had prenatal care since the raids in November. Our maternal-fetal medicine colleagues indicate record no-show rates to ultrasound appointments — typically a highlight of prenatal care and a coveted appointment for most pregnant patients.

Just when we thought the campaign for California’s governorship couldn’t get any weirder, it did. USC chose debaters on the basis of their standing in the polls or the amounts of money raised or being spent. “Unfortunately, USC and KABC (the debate co-sponsor) have not been able to reach an agreement on expanding the number of candidates at tomorrow’s debate. They had joined in criticizing the selection methodology but none had pulled out prior to the cancellation announcement, even though those left out had asked them to boycott. Twelve hours after the debate cancellation, Democratic state chairman Rusty Hicks released a party-sponsored poll that confirmed what other surveys had shown.

We’ll be adding dozens of proposals from other policy areas—such as Medicaid, workforce development, and child welfare—over the coming weeks. One new feature of the site is the “Spotlight on Work Incentives” page. There we’ve highlighted three previously published pieces each by Kevin Corinth, Robert Doar, Angela Rachidi, Matt Weidinger, and me on the importance of work incentives in evaluating safety net policies, as well as a few multi-authored pieces. Beyond these highlights, on the webpage you can find many more briefs, op-eds, essays, and reports we’ve written on the importance of work. These pieces cover my evolution from a center-left sociology grad student who believed that the 1996 welfare reform would harm families to a center-right AEI scholar who believes work incentives are important enough to dedicate a Substack post to them.
