Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested on Wednesday that Supreme Court justices could become impeachment targets when Democrats take control of Congress in January. AOC is accusing the Court of having “legalized” President Donald Trump’s alleged criminal conduct. The New York Democrat made the remarks during an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju following Democratic victories in last week’s midterm elections. She was also asked whether Democrats would pursue the impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. “There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” she said. “There...

The debate over the progressive push for Medicare for All has dominated the early days following Democrats’ landslide victory last week.

Perfect driving records mean little as auto insurers try to squeeze monthly premiums to cover terrifying hidden repair costs and illegal uninsured drivers ....

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal. I’d like to talk very briefly about the current economy. We’re in a very Orwellian situation when everybody’s talking about affordability, and they have legitimate concerns to do so because prices are pretty high, and they’ve risen higher in the last few years than wages. But here’s my point. If you look at the actual economic data, the economy is on the edge of a boom. I’ll give you an example of what I mean. In 2022, affordability was an issue. Eighty percent had polled that in that midterm year...
