Justice, Reputation & the Peril of Precedent
In the unfolding case where Letitia James stands accused of mortgage fraud, the stakes go well beyond her own future.

Standing for Truth Means Standing Alone
One thing I've noticed over the years is that if you truly stand for truth, you will be hated—especially from a political standpoint. That’s because truth doesn’t fit neatly into any particular political party or ideology. Sure, one party might align more closely with the truth than another, but they all have their flaws. Blind…

Trump’s $1 Billion Bet: Boosting Investment or Betting the Farm?
President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement of a plan to fast-track federal permits for energy and construction projects worth over $1 billion has certainly turned some heads—and ruffled some feathers.
