I winced too. When I saw they were holding a UFC fight on the White House lawn to kick off America’s 250th birthday, something in me reached for the word tacky before I finished the thought. A cage match? For the Declaration of Independence? Then I caught myself, because I know where that reflex comes […]
Every year, another wave of families signs on the dotted line, committing to one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) signed legislation in April 2026 committing the state’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote — regardless of how Virginians actually voted.

As artificial intelligence reaches human replacement-level capability, it is about to cut a swath of destruction through the American workforce, leaving millions of employees to deal with the mental, economic, and social consequences.

People want healthier food, and voters have passed laws requiring better standards for how that food is produced. American family farmers are meeting those standards. But corporate pork interests, including foreign-owned Smithfield, are pressuring Congress to roll back those standards. That is the fight over the so-called Save Our Bacon Act, which lawmakers should keep […]
As America’s 250th birthday approaches, it is fitting that one of our country’s greatest inventions is having a moment. Franchising, with roots in the nation’s founding and Benjamin Franklin’s printing press, is everywhere this summer.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday said he is aiming to push the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act through a third budget reconciliation bill.
