The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced Friday that it is repealing a Biden-era power plant regulation that the Chinese government had urged it to keep in place.

The agency announced in a statement the repeal of Biden-era amendments to the power plant emissions rule commonly referred to as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). The Trump administration argues that the repeal will save an estimated $670 million and the MATS requirements for power plants that will remain in place are “robust.”

Newly declassified volumes in the Foreign Relations of the United States series show how.

Recent press coverage of the expiration of the New START Treaty distorts the historical record of late Cold War nuclear diplomacy. “For the first time in decades,” reads one headline, “the U.S. and Russia have no limits on nuclear weapons.” That statement is misleading—at best.

As many focus on the world’s largest island, Greenland, and President Trump’s aggressive efforts to acquire it, another strategic Arctic island, nearby Svalbard, may be an even more likely future point of contention and conflict.

Not a conflict between the U.S. and Denmark, or the U.S. and NATO, but between Russia and Norway, and perhaps all of NATO.

Mitch McConnell’s handlers are blocking the SAVE Act from being brought to a vote on the Senate Floor.

This guy was the leader of the Senate Republican Conference for 17 years, from 2007 to 2025.

In my testimony before the Senate last week as chair of the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and Oversight Committee, I outlined the genesis of Minnesota’s massive fraud scandal, how it expanded under relaxed COVID-era rules, and what steps the federal government can take to help stop the theft of federal tax dollars throughout the country.

When Winter Storm Fern swept across much of the United States in mid-January 2026—bringing snow, ice, and sustained sub-zero temperatures from Texas to New England—millions of Americans braced for power outages. In some areas, those fears were realized. Tennessee alone reported more than 245,000 customer outages at peak conditions. At the same time, natural gas prices spiked dramatically, exceeding $30 per MMBtu at certain constrained delivery points within the PJM Interconnection.

Children should not receive a free education at America’s public schools unless they are lawfully present in the United States, a new report from The Heritage Foundation contends.

States and local governments have been “overwhelmed with costs that flow from illegal immigration, including public education,” Lora Ries, director of Heritage’s Border Security and Immigration Center and author of the report, tells The Daily Signal.

A Texas philanthropist is abusing the nonprofit legal system to quietly fund Democratic priorities such as ranked-choice voting, a conservative watchdog group claims.

John Arnold’s Action Now Initiative pretends to be a social welfare organization to enjoy tax-exempt status while spending heavily on campaigns, American Accountability Foundation (AAF) alleged in an IRS complaint obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. In one instance, Action Now Initiative’s IRS filings seemingly failed to report hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on a 2020 ranked-choice voting campaign in Alaska, AAF told the agency Feb. 4, citing public records.

Topline: The federal welfare program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, is sending less money directly to families and more to nonprofits and state agencies, leading the Wall Street Journal to label it a “slush fund” in a new analysis.

Since President Donald J Trump first formally proposed a strategic defense of America in December of 2017, opponents have mounted a public campaign against it. It is a well-trod path of resistance. They first claim it “can’t possibly work.” Then, “even if it COULD work, it will be prohibitively expense and unaffordable.”  Finally, “even if it could work and even if the Congress were foolish enough to pay for it, it can be easily overwhelmed, defeated and spoofed.”

Topline: No matter how far smartphone addiction spreads in America, it’s still impossible to keep texting from the grave. Yet state spending records say otherwise.

Phone and internet providers in three states claimed federal subsidies for nearly 117,000 dead customers from 2020 to 2025, costing the federal government $5 million, according to a new report from the Federal Communications Commission.

Former State Department official and investigative journalist Mike Benz warned time is running out for the Trump administration to expose government corruption before November’s midterm elections possibly hand Democrats congressional majorities.
