Fetterman Nuking the Filibuster and Speaker Johnson on the Epstein Files 

Democrats' Redistricting Win Sparks A New Party War In California. When Zohran Mamdani’s lead media strategist slipped out of town and flew west to cut an ad for a little-known progressive in the heart of California’s Central Valley, he was opening a new front in the Democratic Party’s civil war. 

One Year In, The Numbers Behind California’s Fast Food Wage Hike. California passed the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery (FAST) Act in April of 2024 amid vocal support and fierce opposition. The first-of-its-kind policy increased the starting wage for California fast food workers to $20 per hour, which is higher than the overall state minimum wage. 

The Pop-Tarts Bowl TrophyShortly after Iowa State's win in the 2024 Pop-Tarts Bowl, Cyclones receiver Jaylin Noel, in a celebratory mood, went to grab the game's trophy to lug it home. But this trophy is different from any other and, as such, required Josh Price, an engineer who helped build the thing, to deliver some safety instructions. Noel wasn't interested. 

2025: Year in Review Terry and Nick take a look back at 2025. Numerous countries such as the United States, Canada, and Germany installed new national leaders, and some transitions were contentious.

 Party Wars, Wage Hikes, Pop Tarts & 2025 Year Review

Tuesday with Terry Slatic, joining him this week is Fresno City Councilmember Nick Richardson. 

The Majors talk Oregon Punishing the Freedom Foundation Public-worker unions. A new Oregon law is targeting a think tank that informs workers of their First Amendment right not to pay union fees. 

What’s Next for Venezuela and Cuba? The U.S. and its Latin American allies need a plan for the day after the dictators fall. With all eyes on the U.S. Navy’s buildup in the southern Caribbean, less attention is going to the spike in repression inside Venezuela.

Oregon & Freedom Foundation, Next for Venezuela?

Chinese Military Drills Send ‘Stern Warning’ After U.S. Arms Sales to Taiwan. China launched major military exercises in the waters and airspace around Taiwan Monday in what it called a “stern warning” against outside interference in Chinese affairs, as tensions grow with the U.S. and Japan over the security of the island.

Pete Hegseth Thinks Boot Camp Got Too Soft. If the trainees expected to be chewed out as they formed lines and awaited orders, they were disappointed. There were no Hollywood theatrics. No screaming, red-faced drill instructors. No unprintable insults. The mood was calm, professional, business-like. Now, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants to turn back the clock.
