Trump Pledges $5,000 Dividend to Adult Americans if GOP Holds Congress

By Joe Walsh | CBS News President Trump vowed Wednesday to send a $5,000 "dividend" to every American citizen after the midterms, but only if Republicans hold onto control of the House and Senate. The announcement came almost an hour into Mr. Trump's speech to the Republican National Committee's first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Dallas, as he seeks to rally Republican voters and fight significant political headwinds in the November elections. "If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," he said. The president did not offer details on how the payments — which he dubbed "Trump Dividends" — would work, including whether he plans to ask Congress to authorize the checks. He has floated the idea of cutting checks to U.S. citizens in th...

It is the opposite story for college grads.” The article was based on work done by a think tank called the Burning Glass Institute. Analysts found that “the unemployment rate for wo...

Poll Finds Socialists Now Outnumber Republicans Among Denver Voters

By Nicole C. Brambila | The Denver Gazette More Denver voters identify as socialists than Republicans, continuing a three-year rise that comes on the heels of Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros’ upset primary victory over longtime U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette. Seventeen percent of Denver voters now identify as socialists, up from 12% last year and 11% two years ago, according to a new Colorado Polling Institute (CPI) poll. Just 15% of voters identify as Republican. The shift follows Kiros’ June victory over DeGette, a 15-term incumbent, by 13.4 percentage points or more than 21,100 votes, in the Democratic primary. The poll also depicts an electorate broadly positive about Denver: Most voters believe the city is headed in the right direction and nearly f...

Colorado Rep. Jeff Crank Forces House Showdown Over Socialism, Challenges Democrats to Go on Record

By James Cirrone | Fox News The measure cites Zohran Mamdani's New York City mayoral win and calls for passage of the SAVE Act. Rep. Jeff Crank, R-Colo., introduced a measure Thursday condemning socialism in all its forms, telling Fox News Digital he wants to use the vote to force moderate House Democrats to take a more public stance against the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). "I keep hearing people like Hakeem Jeffries and others in the Congress saying that they oppose the DSA. Let's see if they're willing to vote for a resolution that would oppose them," Crank told Fox News Digital in an interview Friday. Crank's House resolution cites New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s victory as one of the clearest signposts of the DSA’s growing politic...

Victor Marx Calls for Water Storage Expansion and Modern Infrastructure

By Marianne Goodland | The Denver Gazette Victor Marx, the Republican nominee for governor, took the spotlight Wednesday during the opening day of the Colorado Water Congress, laying out how he says the state should approach its water future. Marx told the standing-room-only audience in Steamboat Springs that he holds water rights himself, giving him a personal stake in Colorado’s water challenges. His proposed fix? More storage. “We can’t make it snow, we can’t make it rain, but we can decide whether we’re prepared for when the water comes,” he said. “So, I believe we should store water in good years. Wet years. Lord, please send it.” He said storage gives farmers and ranchers reliability, options for communities and reduces emergency decisions. “...

Karoline Leavitt Steps Down As Press Secretary To Put Family First

By Brittany Miller | Fox News Trump said Leavitt will remain a top outside advisor and an influential voice in the Republican Party. President Donald Trump announced that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will leave her role at the end of the month to spend more time with her family. Leavitt confirmed her departure in a lengthy post on X, saying she made the "bittersweet decision" after concluding she could not balance the demands of serving as press secretary with being the mother she wants to be to her two young children. "Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime," Leavitt wrote. Leavitt thanked Trump for giving her the opportunity to work in ...

It’s no longer just Democrats: Republicans join the doubt over Trump’s Iran war

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports A recent Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 54% of likely U.S. voters believe that, in hindsight, President Donald Trump’s decision to enter the war in Iran was the wrong one, while only 35% believe it was the right one. The partisan divide is predictable, with Republicans largely supportive and Democrats overwhelmingly opposed. More interesting is the broader political question: why has an issue that once played so strongly to Trump’s advantage become a source of growing public skepticism? One of President Donald Trump’s defining campaign themes was refreshingly simple: America should stop fighting endless wars. He repeated that message across three presidential campaigns. Iraq was a mistake. Afghanistan...

Democrats Launch Spanish Language Ad Against Gabe Evans in Key Colorado House Race

By Ernest Luning | The Denver Gazette A national group tied to House Democratic leadership launched a six-figure Spanish-language TV ad in Colorado this week targeting Republican U.S. Rep. Gabe Evans and the GOP’s signature budget legislation. The 30-second spot is part of $15 million in new TV and digital ad reservations announced earlier this week by House Majority Forward, a nonprofit affiliated with House Majority PAC, covering 19 targeted House districts across the country. The ad is set to run through August on an initial buy of just under $200,000, Punchbowl’s Ally Mutnick reported. Evans is seeking reelection to a second term in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, the state’s most competitive seat. He’s facing a challenge from state Rep. Man...
