The 2026 midterms aren’t just about seats — they’re about trust, truth and what voters believe in a nonstop political information war.
Congratulations to the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West and other trade unions for gathering the signatures necessary to put a 5% billionaires’ wealth tax on the California ballot this November.

The British election should serve as a warning to Democrats who let their left fringe run riot with scant criticism. Too many Democratic strategists and friends in the progressive media read the noise coming from the far left as evidence of broader public opinion than warranted, even among Democrats. Then come voting day, turned-off moderates make them lose.
President Trump has announced he is exploring a suspension of the federal gasoline tax in response to gas prices reaching $4.50 per gallon nationally. However, economists warn the 18.4 cent federal gas tax cut may provide limited relief, with research suggesting that producers and distributo…
