                            September 25, 2025Trump Raises Concerns About Tylenol Use in Pregnancy – Harvard Research Suggests He’s Right By Brian C. Joondeph

September 24, 2025This November’s Statewide Ballot Issues: California’s Redistricting Fight Looms Large By Louis Jacobson

— Voters in Colorado, Maine, Texas, and Washington state will also decide on notable ballot measures in November.

                            September 23, 2025The Case Against Jerome Powell By Stephen Moore
   It's hard to believe that a couple years ago Time magazine considered naming Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell as their Person of the Year. He may well have won, if it hadn't been for someone named Taylor Swift.

September 18, 2025Midway to the Midterm: The Imperfect Bellwethers of New Jersey and Virginia By Kyle Kondik
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE— It will be very tempting to use the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races as predictors for next year’s midterms.
— Sometimes these races do provide a preview of the following year, but there are enough instances where they do not that we would urge caution against overinterpreting the results.
— One key factor is that the political situation could just be different in the midterm year than it is in the gubernatorial year, something we arguably saw as recently as 2021 and 2022, the most recent comparable cycle.
— Another confounding factor is that New Jersey and Virginia are both more Democratic than the nation at the federal level, which was not consistently the case until recently.
