President Donald Trump snagged a win in court this week after a legal scuffle involving the firing of an official from the U.S. Copyright Office.

However, the Democrats have been quick to claim that some of his actions tiptoe on the…

It’s always intriguing for those of us who enjoy politics to dive into polling data. Some pollsters seem to have a knack for capturing the mood of American voters, while others miss the mark. To cut through the noise, I like to focus on the RealClearPolitics averages, though it’s worth noting they did underestimate Trump’s 2024 victory, and let’s not forget how off they were in 2016. The interesting part about watching these polls is how they reveal trends over time. As of late May, there’s a noticeable uptick in President Trump’s approval ratings and in how people feel about…

House Speaker Mike Johnson from Louisiana has recently thrown his weight behind a piece of legislation aimed at banning members of Congress from trading stocks. This issue has been a hot topic, as many believe such trades could lead to conflicts of interest. During a press conference on May 14, Johnson expressed his perspective clearly, stating, “My honest opinion on it: I’m in favor of that. I don’t think we should have any appearance of impropriety here.” Johnson’s stance comes at a time when trust in government is a critical issue for many Americans.

Some judges are experiencing a bizarre form of harassment: pizza deliveries sent in their names. This strange method aims to intimidate judges by revealing that those behind the pranks know personal addresses. Senator Dick Durbin, a prominent Democrat, has called for an investigation into these deliveries, believing they pose a threat to judges and their families. These deliveries have even reached the homes of Supreme Court justices and their relatives. One unsettling aspect is that some of these pizzas have been ordered in the name of Daniel Anderl, the late son of Judge Esther Salas. Daniel was tragically killed in…

]California is staring down the barrel of a potential $10 billion deficit, a situation some critics say mirrors the cost of expanding Medi-Cal to cover all income-qualifying illegal immigrants. The conservative California Policy Center’s president, Will Swaim, has pointed out this “fiscal coincidence” as a direct result of Governor Gavin Newsom’s policies. Meanwhile, the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) has been sounding alarms about the fragile state of California’s economy, which heavily leans on an unstable stock market. The LAO has urged lawmakers to brace for potential downturns that might accompany a dip in consumer confidence, although they acknowledge that…

However, Trump’s intention to have Martin confirmed permanently faced a setback. A Republican senator raised concerns about Martin’s background, which ultimately derailed the nomination process. Trump expressed his disappointment regarding the stalled nomination, as reported by Fox News. “He wasn’t getting the support from people that I thought,” Trump mentioned to reporters at the White House. Despite Martin’s efforts to reduce crime in D.C. by 25%, the lack of backing from key figures was evident. Trump was…
