Eric Swalwell (CA-14). A surprising early beneficiary is billionaire former hedge fund manager and failed Democrat 2020 presidential candidate Tom Steyer, who is running despite the fact that he will be the first to tell you he hasn’t really been paying attention to what’s going on in the state.]]>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:53:20 -0400<![CDATA[Bob Hoge]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[DHS]]><![CDATA[Eric Swalwell]]><![CDATA[ICE]]>https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2026/04/14/tom-steyers-latest-incendiary-ice-proposal-and-call-to-arms-is-so-outlandish-even-newsom-might-blush-n2201298<![CDATA[In America, you are innocent until proven guilty.

Biggs, Rehl, and Nordean were convicted and sentenced for seditious conspiracy.

They do it because they want to help people. Who among us isn't thankful that they do? For those who work in the nation's emergency rooms, that work can be the most challenging.

Justice Alito is one of the Court's constitutional originalists, a conservative stalwart, and we have every reason to wish him a long, healthy career. The same applies to Justice Clarence Thomas, who is an American treasure. But Justice Alito is 76 years old, and Justice Thomas is 77, and at this point in the game, the GOP should be prepared to replace either, or both. Anything can happen between now and any possible future Democrat majority in the Senate, which would mean no solid constitutional originalist justices being appointed.]]>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 17:32:58 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Justice Samuel Alito]]><![CDATA[Mike Lee]]><![CDATA[Supreme Court]]><![CDATA[Ted Cruz]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/04/14/cruz-or-lee-finally-supreme-court-justices-who-actually-read-the-constitution-n2201288<![CDATA[As RedState reported on Monday, Republican Rep.

There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that the party that is not in power has a wealth of adherents who are upset and therefore motivated to vote.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:37:28 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Economy]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/04/14/new-poll-shows-gop-senate-majority-within-reach-on-kitchen-table-issues-n2201286<![CDATA[It's clown world once again in Fulton County, Georgia, but amazingly enough, District Attorney Fani Willis is not involved. Who is involved is none other than Tiffany Henyard, the former Democrat mayor of Dolton, Illinois, and Supervisor of Thornton Township. Henyard held these elected positions simultaneously while she "lived large and in charge," and while driving the municipality into massive debt.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:36:51 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Chicago]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[FBI]]><![CDATA[Georgia]]><![CDATA[Illinois]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/04/14/a-former-worst-illinois-mayor-is-running-for-a-georgia-commissioner-seat-and-i-have-questions-n2201277<![CDATA[https://redstate.com/subscribe?tpcc=wardclark041426_8We're fortunate today to have set rules for written English, even if a lot of people don't know or follow them (just look anywhere on this new thing all the kids are doing called "the internet"). &nbsp;It wasn't always like that. For much of the written history of the world, most written languages didn't have much in the way of spelling or grammar conventions. Latin was the standard, as it actually had grammatical rules, many of which have made it into English and the other languages of Western Civilization today. But take a look at something written in the early days of our own nation, and you'll see some head-scratching oddities in spelling; even in the Constitution, which describes, among other things, "places for the&nbsp;chusing of senators."]]>Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:00:05 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Education]]><![CDATA[History]]><![CDATA[USA]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/04/14/on-this-day-in-1828-noah-webster-transformed-american-written-english-n2201282<![CDATA[As RedState’s Sister Toldjah reported Monday, all eyes now “turn to Swalwell's Bestie, Sen.
