HOMER CITY, Pennsylvania — Eleven days after the massive smokestacks and cooling towers of Pennsylvania’s largest coal-fired power plant came down in a dramatic fashion in this Indiana County village, causing both emotional and economic distress and a sense of hopelessness, Homer City Redevelopment announced that an even bigger natural gas power center would be […]
After months of teasing that he would finally unveil his sweeping tariff regime on the “Liberation Day” of April 2, President Donald Trump made good on his threat, announcing a baseline minimum of 10% tariffs on all imports into America with zero exceptions. The so-called “worst offenders” will be subject to an additional tariff margin […]
Republicans Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis won their special elections in Florida Tuesday. In Wisconsin, liberal Susan Crawford defeated conservative Brad Schimel for the state Supreme Court seat.

Each woman has a mind of her own, but when 80% of female voters support a conservative policy, elected officials should pay attention. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett met with Republican leaders and tax writers on the Hill last week to jump-start negotiations.
