Trump's FTC gets a big win, but the job is far from over
Hours before trial was set to begin last month, the Federal Trade Commission and five state attorneys general settled their antitrust case against Zillow and Redfin. While this was a major success, and the FTC should be proud, there is still more to be done. More than 30% of American households rent. For most of them, the search begins and often ends inside one company's ecosystem, which is a major violation of antitrust principles and laws.

Exclusive—Aiden Buzzetti: Don’t Let China Wire America’s Data Centers
Optical transceivers are a major part of data center infrastructure, enabling high-speed data transfer between servers, racks and facilities. Nearly every major AI cluster in the country depends on them to operate, and China is the main supplier. In fact, Johns Hopkins Associate Professor Yury Dvorkin recently told Breitbart that China supplies approximately two-thirds of global optical transceivers.
The one loophole in Trump’s tariff policy Original
The Trump administration’s tariff policies have delivered a series of wins for the American people. Ford announced that it would be shifting more production of its Lincoln line from China to the United States. Sapporo, the beer brewer, recently said it would move brewing from Canada to south of the border. The tariff agenda has been pursued using a wide array of tools. Many, including steel tariffs, have come by way of Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act.
The End of Old Guard Conservatism
Over the past few weeks, Old Guard conservatives have been making a concerted effort to attack Vice President JD Vance and the New Right. Many were critical of Vance’s support for a Trump Administration proposal to allow federal dollars to go to stay-at-home parents.
Conservatives owe talk radio. It’s time to return the favor
It’s hard to overstate what radio has meant to the conservative movement. You don’t have to look far to find a Republican who grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh. He inspired entire generations — elected officials and commentators, truck drivers and everyday people on their afternoon commutes. Conservatives simply wouldn’t be where they are today without talk radio. It was a vital alternative in a media landscape long dominated by liberal media and left-leaning newspapers.
Foreign Ships Threaten More Than Our Health. Congress Shouldn’t Make It Easier for Them to Dock.
Just weeks ago, U.S. officials revealed that COSCO, China’s state-owned shipping giant, allegedly used concealed equipment aboard one of its ships to intercept American military communications. Against that backdrop, a handful of Republicans in Congress are pushing to strip away one of the only protections California has against foreign ships operating with minimal oversight. America First.
America’s cancer breakthroughs need an open market
It doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you’re on when it comes to cancer, and cancer doesn’t care about politics. Perhaps that’s why for decades, fighting back against cancer has transcended partisan divides between Democrats and Republicans. Despite this bipartisan alignment, the federal government’s progress in this effort has never quite matched its ambitious rhetoric.
Commentary: Healthcare looms as the other affordability crisis
Housing costs are too high, no doubt about it, and elected leaders are right to focus on making them more affordable. As bad as housing costs are, healthcare costs are worse. In fact, the average monthly health insurance premium for a family is now higher than the average mortgage. And American families are looking for relief. Aiden Buzzetti Contributed / Inside Sources According to Gallup, American adults’ ability to afford healthcare is at a five-year low.

Silicon Valley is losing the data center fight, risking a repeat of a classic failure
Silicon Valley has spent decades winning consumer loyalty. In unprecedented numbers, people have Apple iPhones in their pockets and Amazon Alexas on their counters while they browse on Google and write in Microsoft Word. Americans have shown themselves eager to try every new technology, from health tracking rings to doorbell cameras to robot vacuums.
Silicon Valley is losing the data center fight, risking a repeat of a classic failure
Trump news update 7 hours ago Trump says U.S. and Canada reached deal to delay 50% U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports NPR - The Associated Press • 7h WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he was delaying the 50% U.S. tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian imports after the two countries reached a last-minute deal less than two hours before the sanctions were to go into effect.

Gmail just nuked 142,000 campaign donations. They call it spam — we should call it unchecked power
The strongest response to conservative complaints about Gmail is not that the complaints are false, it is that the filtering is legitimate in practice. Security researcher Brian Krebs made that case recently, reporting that emails carrying WinRed donation links hit spam traps at roughly four times the rate of ActBlue mail in late July 2025. The claim rests on the belief that the filters were doing their job, reacting to sender behavior, with no political motivations.
Zillow put a toll booth on the American dream Original
For two decades, Zillow has assembled the pieces of a real estate empire. It acquired Trulia, StreetEasy, and ShowingTime in a series of deals regulators allowed to proceed. It launched mortgage and closing products. It drew buyers, sellers, agents, brokers, and lenders into the same expanding system. Zillow calls itself 'the front door to the housing market.' Regulators should act before the company installs a turnstile. This year, Zillow accelerated.
America Needs To Renegotiate Its Most Famous Software Marriage
See more of our coverage in your search results. Add Daily Wire on Google Every few months, an AI system arrives that makes the last one look quaint. The newest, a framework called Mythos, has been keeping policymakers and bank executives up at night for a specific reason: it showed how a single bug in an aging piece of Office software could hand an adversary the keys to the identity systems of every federal agency at once.
The new fuel at the pump could hurt your car and wallet
Aiden Buzzetti, Washington Examiner Senate leaders are weighing when and how to move forward with year-round national sales of E15 gasoline following House passage of the legislation earlier this year. Supporters say the measure would lower costs for consumers. The evidence is less clear. Before senators move forward, Americans deserve a closer look at whether those promised savings are real. When pulling up to the pump, some Americans may notice a new option alongside regular and premium.
Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
The House just passed the KIDS Act, and they managed to strip out the one provision that actually mattered. Duty of care is gone. Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), the two senators who spent four years building the Kids Online Safety Act, are now calling the House’s own bill dead on arrival.
How An Immigrants-Only Program Could Bankrupt Your Hometown
Somewhere in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, a small steel-town school district of about 1,400 kids, a school board member is looking at a budget line that didn’t exist a decade ago. In 2014, the district had approximately seven English Learner or “EL” students. In 2024, that number crossed 200.
America leads on Alzheimer’s innovation. China actually takes it seriously
New polling from the Market Institute and President Donald Trump’s pollster Fabrizio Ward finds that an overwhelming 87% of voters believe fighting Alzheimer’s should be a priority. Nearly 4 in 5 say they are more likely to support candidates who prioritize better access to Alzheimer’s detection, diagnosis, and treatment. The good news is these results coincide with rapid American innovation in Alzheimer’s research and treatment.

Netflix’s price hike reveals its monopoly grip
OPINION: Only a month after losing its bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery in late February, Netflix gave customers a glimpse of its true colors. The world’s largest subscription video provider raised its prices again, its second price hike in just over 14 months and the sixth since 2017. Netflix may have pretended it would play nice while it was courting Warner Bros. Discovery.
Trump’s new tariffs will put America’s rivals on notice Original
Though the Trump administration has faced a series of legal setbacks on tariffs, it seems to have found a solution. After the Supreme Court ruled that the administration’s reciprocal tariffs were wrongfully imposed, the president immediately leapt to Plan B: Section 122 tariffs, which allow the temporary placement of global tariffs.

The Housing Market Needs President Trump’s Solutions
Spring is traditionally a season of new beginnings: blooming flowers, buzzing bees, and… home purchases. Warmer weather typically marks the start of peak homebuying season, when increased inventory and renewed demand help families take the next step toward achieving the American Dream. This year, however, spring has been a different story. Despite a recent increase in homes hitting the market, high mortgage rates and inflation continue to put homeownership out of reach for many Americans.

Trump Is Rebuilding a Legal American Vape Market
It is difficult to design a regulatory regime that hands an entire American consumer category over to China. Somehow, the Biden Food and Drug Administration managed to do it. Today, 85 percent of vapes sold in America are unauthorized Chinese imports, a black market built because of misguided federal policy. Illegal disposable products are sold openly in gas stations, smoke shops and convenience stores nationwide, while many American manufacturers remain trapped in years of regulatory gridlock.
How the Union Pacific merger could revitalize America's rail industry Original
The debate over the proposed Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger has the competition question backward. Critics in Washington are asking whether the two railroads are too big to combine, fearing a monopoly. However, if we are serious about rebuilding American industry, strengthening the middle class, and winning on the global stage, this merger deserves to be judged by what it actually delivers for workers, consumers, and the economy.
Time’s Quickly Running Out For MAGA To Change Law Long-Exploited By Bureaucrats
American dominance hinges on something less flashy than most expect: the ability to actually build. Being able to efficiently build roads, energy projects, data infrastructure, housing and more is a necessity for America. And being able to continue doing so requires getting permitting reform across the finish line. The problems with current permitting regulations are not only measurable, they are costly for businesses and every day Americans alike.
If America can’t build, it can’t lead
OPINION — PERMITTING REFORM: THE KEY TO UNLOCKING HOUSING AND ENERGY AFFORDABILITY Already, our American advantage is slipping. If we cannot invest in major projects and develop at the pace demanded by a rapidly changing global economy, we will fall behind our allies and our adversaries alike. When it comes down to it, the world is not waiting for American permitting processes to catch up.
Housing affordability and the battle over credit scores
Aiden Buzzetti, Washington Examiner In the hunt for cheaper housing , politicians and analysts are digging everywhere they can to strike gold. One critical aspect is also increasingly getting its turn in the spotlight: credit pricing . The traditional standard, the tri-merge , utilizes information from all three major credit bureaus. It gives lenders a fuller picture to make decisions, and it helps borrowers by making sure one bad report doesn't tank their chances.
The carbon bureaucracy nobody voted for
By Aiden Buzzetti Real Clear Wire Most Americans have never heard of the International Organization for Standardization. That is exactly how its architects prefer it. While Washington debates energy policy in public, a quieter project is underway in Geneva, one that could reshape how American companies produce energy and what it costs them to do it, without a single public vote being cast, a single hearing being held, or a single elected official being consulted.
Aiden Buzzetti: The FCC Should Make Sure EchoStar Creditors Are Paid Back Billions Owed
Somewhere between the marble halls of Washington and the steel skeletons of America’s cell towers, a very old story is playing out: a well-connected corporation makes promises to the government, ordinary Americans do the work, and when the bill comes due, a billionaire suddenly decides the rules don’t apply.
AIDEN BUZZETTI: Fighting the corporate deep state
President Donald Trump won in 2024 on a rejection of the Biden administration’s injection of left-wing ideologies into the federal government. Voters cast aside DEI requirements, transgender insanity, and more in a decisive win across the country. And over the past year, the Trump administration has acted on his mandate from the voters, going to war with the deep state. However, there is a second entity – which could be called a corporate deep state or “Woke Capital” – which has resisted change.
States should work with AI, not against it Original
For decades, Americans have been conditioned to fear AI. From big-budget blockbusters portraying apocalyptic scenarios to TV shows and books that show AI in a negative light, AI has been shown negatively ever since HAL refused to open the bay doors. This Hollywood-driven fear has affected real policy change on the state level. The problem is that many of these policies are overly restrictive and come from a place of fear rather than objectivity.
Health wearables are not worth the cost of America’s data security
By any reasonable measure, the Trump administration’s and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s push to expand wearable health tracking technology among Americans is rooted in a laudable goal. The effort seeks to improve public health outcomes in a nation struggling with chronic disease, obesity, and a broken preventive care culture.
Five Lessons for Warner Brothers from a Failed Visa–Plaid Deal: The Warner Bros Board Is Finally Recognizing That the Netflix Merger Is Doomed
After months of tunnel vision on a potential merger with Netflix, Warner Brothers Discovery finally announced last week that it will consider an updated offer from Paramount. Paramount provided that offer yesterday – the highest so far – and Netflix now has a chance to match it.
Roblox and other online platforms must protect kids
For many families, Roblox is supposed to be a harmless escape into the digital world, a space where nearly 40 million children under the age of 13 can play, build, and socialize with each other. Increasingly, however, they are learning that the safeguards in place are thinner than advertised. The flurry of lawsuits filed against the company by individuals and state officials describes children exposed to grooming, sexual content, and predatory behavior in spaces marketed as safe for young users.

Make Enforcing Antitrust Law Great Again
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, America was a vigorous, growing nation, coming of age in a new era of technological and industrial progress, with all the strains and stressors that develop under periods of mass movements and economic growth. Thousands of people flocked to the United States in search of opportunities.
How a Texas Judge Hurt Kids and Helped Big Tech
Last December, Robert Pitman, judge of the District Court for the Western District of Texas, enjoined the Texas App Store Accountability Act. The Act, which would have mandated age verification for app stores, was to go into effect January 1, 2026. But thanks to this ruling, it may not go into effect for years – or at all.
Hospitals Are Allowing Foreign Governments to Exploit a U.S. Patient Protection Law
When Congress passed the No Surprises Act (NSA), the goal was clear: protect American patients from outrageous surprise medical bills. But less than three years later, the very process designed to shield patients, the Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) system, has become a profit engine for foreign governments and private equity giants. According to federal data, Radiology Partners was one of the top initiators of IDR disputes nationwide in 2024.
Commentary: Trump Could Restore America’s Golden Age With Iconic Railroad Merger
The private sector is delivering on President Trump’s economic agenda. Markets have calmed since Liberation Day and have now accepted the White House’s re-ordering of global trade. Companies have announced investments of hundreds of billions in domestic manufacturing. President Trump’s energy-friendly policies have brought fuel prices down. Momentum is building for the America First economic agenda.
Cancer care is becoming another Wall Street extraction industry Original
Across rural America, families are learning a hard lesson. The biggest threat to their local hospital or cancer clinic no longer comes from distance, workforce shortages, or regulation. It comes from private equity. Over the past two decades, private equity firms have quietly bought hundreds of cancer clinics, oncology practices, and community hospitals. They promise efficiency and stability.
AIDEN BUZZETTI: Powering America’s new golden age with rail
The United States’ first golden age was forged from steel and steam. It was a time of vision and forward-thinking, and nobody appreciated that idea more than President Abraham Lincoln. With thePacific Railway Act of 1862, Lincoln sought to unite East and West with a true transcontinental railroad that would connect industry and opportunity and allow expanded economic growth for our country. Today, that same spirit of ambition and ingenuity can fuel a new American golden age.
Netflix wants a monopoly on your mind Original
Netflix has announced an $80-plus billion plan to buy Warner Bros. Discovery — a move that would give the streaming giant control of some of the biggest entertainment franchises in America. Executives celebrated the deal, promising consumers “more of what they love.” In reality, the merger would create a monopolistic monster. For millions of Americans already frustrated with Netflix’s ideology and influence, this feels like a bridge too far. This isn’t some routine corporate merger.
