OXON Hill, Md.— Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders aspires to make Arkansas the most conservative state in America. And with a growing list of conservative accomplishments, she appears intent on delivering. Following her CPAC appearance Saturday, Sanders spoke exclusively with The Daily Signal about her approach to governing, legislative priorities, and her take on President Donald…

President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order called “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports.” Among other things, it stops the federal government from subsidizing institutions that allow athletes born male to compete against females.

There was a time, not all that long ago, that CBS’ “60 Minutes” was widely regarded as the gold standard of broadcast journalism. Regrettably, not so much anymore.

When government bureaucrats talk about efficiency, the average person’s eyes generally glaze over, but not on Feb. 11 when from the Oval Office Elon Musk reported on the new Department of Government Efficiency’s early findings of waste, fraud, and abuse.

And there is arguably no one in Washington, D.C., who knows more about how USAID works—or doesn’t—than Max Primorac, who formerly served as USAID’s chief operating officer…

The Associated Press is getting kicked out of the White House, but this is hardly a random act of vindictiveness from President Donald Trump. The Trump administration recently banned AP from the Oval Office and from traveling with Trump on Air Force One after the news agency announced that it would refrain from changing the…

Warning: This article contains graphic language. Like most Americans, I’ve consumed my fair share of viral stories on the internet over the years—some funny, some heartwarming, some totally insane.
