Redistricting in a Rush: What Virginia Voters Need To Know | Joe Thomas

Thu, 22 Jan 2026
Virginia is facing a push to hold a special vote, likely in mid-April, to overturn a 65%-approved nonpartisan redistricting commission. 



Joe Thomas, The Daily Signal’s Virginia correspondent, breaks down the proposed change that would allow the state to redraw districts reactively if other states change theirs. 



“ North Carolina, and even New York state is talking about redistricting their congressional districts ahead of the midterms. Now, unlike all those other states, Virginia had a constitutional amendment that said you can’t do it.”

Pacific Palisades Should and Can Seceding from Los Angeles | Elaine Culotti

Wed, 21 Jan 2026
With Los Angeles consisting of nearly 4 million people, more than 400 residents are assigned to each LAPD officer, which has an annual budget of about $2 billion. During the fires last year, an estimated more than 25% of emergency response equipment was broken.



All this begs the question: What happens to a neighborhood when it has become irrelevant to the city it is in?



Answer: They should start exploring de-annexing and fusion safety models for more cost-efficient emergency response services, argues Elaine Culotti in this special video commentary for The Daily Signal.

EXCLUSIVE: Linda McMahon Confirms Deal With Harvard Is Close

Wed, 21 Jan 2026
FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Secretary of Education Linda McMahon told The Daily Signal a settlement with Harvard University is close, after a protracted battle over the university’s diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.



Trump said Wednesday that he heard the United States had a deal with Harvard.



“I hear we have a deal but who the hell knows with them,” Trump told reporters.



When asked about the president’s statement by The Daily Signal, McMahon said, “He’s right. It’s ongoing.”



Harvard and the Trump administration have engaged in a legal battle for about nine months after President Donald Trump pulled $2 billion in federal funding and removed Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. The president took action over Harvard’s alleged failure to curb antisemitism and its DEI practices.Secretary McMahon talked about this, and more, in a sit down interview with Elizabeth Mitchell, Daily Signal White House correspondent, on Tuesday.

Trump Cuts Bureaucrats—Now Congress Needs to Cut the Checks | E.J. Antoni, PhD

Wed, 21 Jan 2026
For years, the big spenders in Congress—and the Biden administration—worked together to drive the nation deeper into debt as they wasted taxpayer money on their crazy ESG, DEI far Left agenda.



Between the Democrats who just wanna see Trump fail, and the big spender Republicans who want to see any budget cuts fail, Trump has an uphill battle against the “uniparty” when it comes to further progress in the spending fight. 



Federal finance is the executive branch’s job, but it really comes down to Congress which “passes spending and tax legislation,” explains Chief Heritage Foundation Economist E.J. Antoni, PhD., on today’s special video commentary.  



“It’s high time those legislators actually do something to fix the problem that they themselves helped cause.”

Full-Time Work, Real Pay Raises: How Trump Quietly Rebuilt the Job Market | E.J. Antoni, Ph.D.

Fri, 16 Jan 2026
“America’s Job Market Has  Entered the Slow Lane”—that was a recent Wall Street Journal headline. Most of the mainstream media echoes this interpretation, but the reality is much better than the headlines suggest. In fact, it’s as if the reporters who wrote those headlines didn’t read beyond the headline of the jobs report.

Here’s what the Dec. 2025 jobs report actually showed: 

✅People working multiple part-time jobs exchanged them for single full-time jobs in December.

 ✅During nearly the entire final year of the Biden admin, annual native-born employment was in the red. In 2025, native-born employment beat foreign-born employment by over 1.6 million.

✅The federal workforce is the smallest it’s been since 2014.

“So, despite all the naysayers, Trump’s first year back at the helm saw a labor market undergo badly needed structural changes that are making Americans better off… If we keep up with tax reform, regulatory reform, and energy reform, economic growth will turn into a rocket sled on rails.”
