      In an on-going battle over Trump’s illegal demands to turn over voters' protected information, Fontes was steadfast in protecting our mail-in ballots used by over 80% of Arizonans. After repeatedly refusing to relinquish Arizonan’s private data, he won against the Trump Administration in cou…

      Trump continues to talk about dealing with Iran “after the elections.” Here’s my fear: There will be no midterm elections. Trump will find a pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act, then federalize the National Guard and deploy it, along with the FBI and ICE, to block access to the polls. The…

                    Americans rely on deposit insurance. Now is the time to fortify it | Bloomberg News

                      Banks in the U.S. have plenty to celebrate these days, from record profits and higher stock prices to a strong economy and easier regulation.

                          Radical greens and other cheerleaders for central planning are mewling about the Trump administration’s new fuel economy standards for automakers.
