Washington has “showered” the US steel industry with protection from import competition for decades. Yet the industry continues to struggle, and steel prices in the US are among the world’s highest.

What do pregnant women with high fevers and people with severe chronic pain have in common? Increasingly, both are being told to “tough it out.”

Cato filed an amicus brief in RAICES v. Noem, the case challenging Trump's Border Dictator order that purports to suspend all immigration law because it is "ineffective." Our brief describes how the government's arguments are baseless www.cato.org/legal-briefs...

The government’s assertions are based on either misinterpretations or tortured readings of the data, attempting to find justification for a spurious legal argument in facts that simply are not there.
