They are the location of one of the midterm election's highest-profile Senate races, with Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton squaring off against Democratic contender James Talarico, who appears to have the testosterone level of arugula and who thinks running a vegan campaign in a state renowned (rightly) for its barbecue beef brisket is a great strategy. There's another exciting thing happening right now, if you're a Texas businessman: The Lone Star State is also undergoing quite the business boom.&nbsp;]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 12:13:17 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Texas]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/05/31/americas-new-red-state-corporate-renaissance-n2202893<![CDATA[Saturday, President Trump gave his daughter-in-law, Fox News personality Lara Trump, a walk around the White House and described some of the features of the East Wing remodeling that's underway; this includes the new White House ballroom.&nbsp;]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 11:31:18 -0400<![CDATA[Ward Clark]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Lara Trump]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/05/31/inside-trumps-massive-new-secure-east-wing-modernization-project-n2202892<![CDATA[We've written extensively about the out-of-control "protesting" that has been happening outside of the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey, with leftist agitators pulling out all the stops to try to stop immigration enforcement agents from doing their jobs in keeping American communities safe from criminal illegal aliens.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 11:00:55 -0400<![CDATA[Sister Toldjah]]><![CDATA[Fox News]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[Newark]]><![CDATA[New Jersey]]><![CDATA[Riots]]><![CDATA[Mikie Sherrill]]>https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/05/31/when-a-media-split-screen-absolutely-crushes-it-n2202891<![CDATA[Spencer Pratt has captured attention in the Los Angeles mayoral campaign by being different from regular politicians.&nbsp;]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 10:50:34 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[Homelessness]]><![CDATA[Los Angeles]]><![CDATA[Spencer Pratt]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/05/31/spencer-pratt-dog-plan-n2202889<![CDATA[California's jungle primary hits the finish line Tuesday.

Thus far, Platner has explained away a Nazi "Totenkopf" tattoo, tried to dodge a history of racist and antisemitic Reddit screeds, dissed two military heroes, and appears to be aroused by portable toilets. Yet, he still has not been disqualified by the Democrats, and whoever in Maine is still supporting him. This newest oppo drop is going to test whether Teflon flows through Graham Platner's veins and how much longer the Democrats can afford to keep propping him up as a winning candidate. &nbsp; &nbsp;]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Jennifer Oliver O'Connell]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Antisemitism]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Maine]]><![CDATA[Graham Platner]]>https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/05/31/hot-takes-democrats-double-down-and-inject-the-copium-as-the-latest-graham-platner-scandal-unravels-n2202881<![CDATA[An Obama-appointed federal judge in Florida reopened President Donald Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit on Friday, reviving a case the president had already walked away from and putting the administration's $1.776 billion anti-weaponization compensation fund in serious doubt.]]>Sun, 31 May 2026 07:45:00 -0400<![CDATA[Ben Smith]]><![CDATA[DOJ]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[IRS]]><![CDATA[Judges]]><![CDATA[Lawsuit]]>https://redstate.com/ben-smith/2026/05/31/obama-appointed-judge-reopens-trump-irs-lawsuit-demands-answers-on-1776-billion-fund-n2202886<![CDATA[The Biden-era "thaw" is officially over.

Indeed, she claimed he had to do it because they were fearful Hunter would be targeted by Trump. That took some kind of gall, after the lawfare efforts against Trump for years.&nbsp;]]>Sat, 30 May 2026 17:51:00 -0400<![CDATA[Nick Arama]]><![CDATA[Bill Clinton]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Hillary Clinton]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2026/05/30/hillary-remarks-on-white-house-n2202875<![CDATA[I swear, I am really beginning to adore this guy, Graham Platner.]]>Sat, 30 May 2026 17:33:00 -0400<![CDATA[Brad Slager]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Maine]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]><![CDATA[Senate]]><![CDATA[Graham Platner]]>https://redstate.com/bradslager/2026/05/30/the-oyster-man-continues-to-deliver-the-latest-hit-on-the-dems-golden-boy-develops-with-graham-platner-n2202878<![CDATA[The summer travel season is upon us, and that's going to lead to some incidents, as it so often does.
