I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

Former Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell of Florida warned that the rule’s rollout would set the United States on a “dangerous path,” and one that bore striking similarities to the United States’ supposed adversaries. This is both morally wrong and incredibly stupid, and will damage the US.
“When government starts deciding which fields of study are ‘worthy’ based on how much money they make, it sets our country [on] a dangerous path. That kind of government control is something we condemn in places like Cuba and China. Education is freedom. The American Dream is about expanding opportunity, not having Washington dictate it.”
