Trump endorses Eric Hovde in Wisconsin Senate race 

Former President Trump endorsed Republican Eric Hovde on Tuesday in the Wisconsin Senate race to unseat Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.).

It’s too easy to get the wrong idea about rural rage

“White Rural Rage” is a book version of a clickbait article written by two people who don’t seem to engage with rural Americans regularly and who used other people’s data to come up with their conclusions about why rural Americans lean right. I am not an academic or journalist, like the two authors, but I am the only Democrat at the state level or higher among 32 counties in Northwest Iowa and someone who ran for Congress in 2018 in a district Trump won by 27 points in 2016 and...

Trump’s Truth Social posts give him a megaphone and Dems an opening

Truth Social has become an integral part of former President Trump’s ability to communicate with his supporters, giving him an advantage because of the media’s coverage of his steady drumbeat of political missives.

Trump’s posts put his rivals on their heels, as was the case during the Republican primaries, when he trounced all of his opponents.

Biden rolls back Trump expansion of short-term ‘junk’ insurance plans

The Biden administration is cracking down on insubstantial health insurance plans that don't have to meet ObamaCare’s consumer protection requirements. 

A final rule issued Thursday would roll back a Trump-era policy that drastically expanded what Biden officials and critics call “junk” plans.
