North Carolina’s political landscape has been stirred by Democrat and former Governor Roy Cooper’s Senate campaign announcement. With a video that evokes middle-class values and community spirit, Cooper aims to connect with voters.

While his campaign video criticized billionaires and corporations, it omitted his own contentious…

A federal judge recently threw out the Trump administration’s effort to challenge Illinois and Chicago over their sanctuary policies.

The Trump administration filed this lawsuit back in February, accusing Illinois and Chicago of obstructing federal immigration laws. The policies in question were said to interfere with federal enforcement and contradict the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Nonetheless, U.S. District…
