Andrew Roth leads the State Freedom Caucus Network, an organization dedicated to empowering conservatives to gain control over state governments nationwide. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Roth emphasized the prevalence of what he calls “swamps” in every state, stating, “There are 50 swamps.” He pointed out that certain “liberal Republicans” partner with Democrats to expand government, creating a “uniparty” dynamic that undermines true conservative values. Roth’s remarks highlight a concerning trend: many Democrats, particularly in red states, can only succeed electorally by aligning themselves with the Republican label. While they may profess strong stances on issues like…

Texas Democratic lawmaker James Talarico finds himself in a complicated position as he campaigns against the influence of megadonors in politics. Records reveal that Talarico’s largest financial backing in 2024 came not from traditional Democratic sources but from a PAC associated with Republican billionaire Miriam Adelson, widow of the late Sheldon Adelson. This PAC, the Texas Sands PAC, funneled $59,000 into Talarico’s campaign, a stark contrast to his professed stance on campaign finance reform.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem provided insight into this transformation, highlighting the wall’s newly designed features.
