House approves SAVE Act election integrity measure

Progressives keep Wisconsin Supreme Court; more Democrat US House seats likely

By Jacob Adams | Daily Signal Wisconsin residents voted on Tuesday to elect Susan Crawford as the next member of their state supreme court, according to the Associated Press, which declared Crawford the winner. The vote will put the liberals in charge of the state’s highest court during a time when the court’s decisions on congressional redistricting in the state could very well lead to more House seats for Democrats.

Trump and Macron plan to share ‘burden of securing the peace’ in Ukraine

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | Daily Signal French President Emmanuel Macron agrees that Europe must join the United States in bearing the “cost and burden of securing the peace” between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump said Monday.

A big step is what’s going to happen over the next few weeks.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL
