Vice President Kamala Harris cloned former President Trump's pledge to eliminate federal taxes on tips paid to workers in restaurants, bars, hotels and others in the service industry. At a rally on the campus of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas on Saturday evening, Harris pledged to fight for "working families of Americans." "When I was attorney general of California, we worked together to crack down on wage theft," she said. "When I was a United States senator, we fought together for paid...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy isn’t one to spew conspiracy theories, but what he said about Kamala Harris’ campaign was interesting, given the recent hires. The California Republican said that the man who is the real campaign manager is none other than former President Barack Obama (via NY Post): Former President Barack Obama is secretly running Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, using his people to direct her bid, ex-Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy claimed Sunday....

In tapping Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) as her running mate, Vice President Harris chose an affable figure with dad-joke zeal and “Minnesota nice” energy.  But Walz’s time in the House reveals another dimension — one of a shrewd tactician able to survive rough political waters when other Democrats were sinking, and play hardball to achieve his ambitions when the moment demands. Those attributes surfaced not only in the act of taking tactful votes that helped keep him in his...

Few candidates have had as successful a campaign launch as Vice President Kamala Harris, raising hundreds of millions, moving up in polls and energizing the base. The Harris campaign notched an additional $36 million in the 24 hours after announcing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, and as the Democratic ticket swung across the country, it drew large, raucous crowds. After three weeks of unbelievable momentum, Harris now faces the huge — and historically unusual — challenge of...

A district court’s challenge to the structure of the NLRB could affect not just labor regulations but the administrative state as a whole. Get ready for another major win for the Constitution and the separation of powers. Late last month, to little fanfare, a federal district court in Texas indicated that the National Labor Relations Act is unconstitutional, a finding that it will soon make official in a formal ruling. This case seems destined for the Supreme Court, giving the justices...

It certainly wasn't love at first sight. In fact, not so long ago they didn’t like each other very much. “I don’t hate the man,” Elon Musk tweeted in July 2022, “but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset.” The Tesla and Space X founder's comment was prompted by a profane Donald Trump insult - put simply, calling Mr Musk a liar. Trump accused Mr Musk of lying to him about who he voted for in the last presidential election. “Elon is not going to buy Twitter,”...

Donald Trump’s campaign, which has whiffed in its early attacks on Kamala Harris’ new presidential campaign, will grapple this week for a more effective foothold after the vice president transformed an election of stunning surprises. The ex-president has deployed some of his most trusted political tools — targeting racial identity, creating alternative realities, flinging insults and gaslighting. On Sunday, for instance, he spread a new false conspiracy theory over the...

There are few things more important to our country than ensuring the integrity of our elections. The people rightfully demand it, and Congress has a duty to act.   Yet, when given the opportunity to eliminate one of the most glaring threats to fair elections, 198 House Democrats voted instead to keep the door open to fraud.  The threat is very real. In nearly all 50 states today — including every major electoral battleground state — a noncitizen can...

The Biden Administration on Monday unveiled a new, multi-agency regulatory initiative to target corporate practices that officials claim are designed to waste consumers’ time and needlessly burden them with red tape, in order to maximize profits. “I think we can all relate to this,” White House domestic policy advisor Neera Tanden told reporters Friday. “For example, you want to cancel your gym membership or subscription service or newspaper. It took one or two clicks to sign up. But...
