6+ min ago (198+ words) Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet told Politico that his organization and other PACs planned an "eight-figure" effort to fund primary challengers to lawmakers who refused. Several PACs affiliated with President Donald Trump are targeting Indiana Republicans amid the president's push for the legislature to redraw its congressional maps in time for the midterms.

"We look at Indiana as a test case and a cautionary tale, potentially one or the other, it's their choice," he added. "This is a super high priority, and we're going to be working with the local,…...

8+ min ago (517+ words) U.S. policymakers will debate how to regulate or tax these fortunes, but the economic engine UBS documents is hard to mistake.

The picture painted by the analysis runs firmly counter to the all-too-familiar political narrative'on both the progressive left and the nationalist right'that billionaire wealth mainly reflects market power, rent-seeking, or more broadly an inherently unfair system that's fundamentally tilted toward established elites. Instead, the report suggests America remains one of the world's…...

9+ min ago (422+ words) Far-left Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) shared a revisionist history of America during an appearance on MS NOW. Jayapal's "white-out' ignores the contributions of European immigrants and White Americans and instead claims immigrants from Somalia, India, and Africa built this country and made it great. Jayapal asserts, "The majority of Americans across the country, regardless of political party, know that immigrants from all over the world, Somalia, India, wherever they're from, Latin America, Africa, that immigrants have built this country and make this country what it is today."
