Democratic union giveaway could turn Vermont into Illinois
We are just weeks away from the midterm elections, and inflation remains one of the top issues for voters for the fourth year in a row. Democrats think that they can ride pocketbook concerns to victory, but the voters should beware: Democrats’ policies would only raise the cost of living, not lower it. Democrats can repeat slogans and rhetoric about the cost of gas or housing being too high, but they don’t have a plan that would bring costs down.
Democratic Allies Must Join Forces in the Race for UAP Disclosure
Since February 2026, the United States Department of War (DOW), under the direction of President Donald Trump, has released an unprecedented number of documents, videos, and firsthand witness accounts detailing the United States’ extensive history of encounters with unidentified anomalous phenomena, or “UAP.” Despite the questions that remain, this initiative under the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) has been nothing short of historic.
BURLISON: American Liberty Was Purchased By Blood; Don’t Sell It For Surveillance
Mass surveillance is intrinsically insulting and dehumanizing. As an American, such a concept immediately evokes George Orwell’s 1984, or even Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of Minority Report — a dystopian future in which the state determines your guilt before you even commit a crime. In such popular media, the presumption of innocence becomes inverted: “Guilty until proven innocent.” Individual liberty, to the extent that it still exists, comes second to public safety.
Missouri's reliable power is the key to winning the AI race | Opinion
Eric Burlison Springfield News-Leader Aug. 2, 2026, 3:46 a.m. CT President Trump recently reaffirmed that the United States should lead the world in artificial intelligence. That's the right goal. The question now is what it will take to get there. Most conversations about artificial intelligence focus on software, semiconductors, or the next technological breakthrough. The more I've examined this issue, the more convinced I've become that we're overlooking something much more basic. Electricity.

Put patients back in charge of their healthcare
OPINION: In 2000, the average family paid about $6,000 a year for health insurance. Today, that figure has climbed to nearly $27,000, rising at more than twice the rate of inflation over the same period. It’s no surprise that healthcare affordability remains a top concern among Americans. As costs continue to climb, more working adults are choosing to go without health insurance altogether.
The Medicaid fraud problem is not going away Original
John Locke’s "Second Treatise of Government," which inspired many of our nation’s founding principles, makes the simple assertion that the basic role of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of the consenting governed. Though our federal government has long since strayed from this purpose, opportunities to defend it are always a worthy endeavor.

Running out the clock won’t save the majority Original
In the first three months of the Trump administration, Americans were stunned by President Trump’s breakneck pace: executive orders overturning onerous Biden-era regulations, massive reductions in force, and rescissions eliminating billions in waste. Republicans notched some of their highest approval ratings in months. Democrats looked rudderless. For the first time in years, it felt like Republicans were taking the country back — unapologetically.

Holding the Army Corps accountable at Table Rock Lake | Opinion
When I joined the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and its Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment, I expected to work on infrastructure funding, flood-control policy, and the nuts and bolts of how federal agencies manage our water resources. What I did not expect was spending months of oversight to correct a federal agency that had lost sight of both the law and its own mission.
Congress needs to go big or go home Original
Last week marked one year since President Trump returned to the White House with a mandate to reshape America’s future after four long years of the Biden administration’s failures. Overnight, illegal crossings at the southern border were brought to a halt. DEI initiatives that picked winners and losers based on group identity were eliminated from the federal government. Lethality returned as the rightful marker of success in our nation’s military.

Last week marked one year since President Donald Trump returned to the White House with a mandate to reshape America’s future after four long years of the Biden administration’s failures.

When bureaucracy forgets its mission at Table Rock Lake
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) clearly states its mission on its website: “Deliver vital engineering solutions, in collaboration with our partners, to secure our Nation, energize our economy, and reduce disaster risk.” Southwest Missouri understands that mission. We rely on water-resources management, flood control, and responsible stewardship.
Burlison: Phasing out state income tax benefits Missourians | Opinion
Eric Burlison Springfield News-Leader Jan. 11, 2026, 3:40 a.m. CT Missouri’s state income tax was created in 1917, for an economy that no longer exists and for a workforce that looks nothing like today’s. Yet Missouri families and employers are still being penalized for working, saving, and investing under a system designed before modern services, digital commerce, or global competition. Gov.
The broken healthcare system doesn’t deserve more blank checks
Just days from now, former President Joe Biden’s temporary COVID-19-era tax credits, which provide fully subsidized healthcare plans to more than 9 million Obamacare enrollees, are set to expire. For Republicans, allowing these subsidies to expire will be a victory in itself, saving taxpayers an estimated $448 billion, even as the underlying Obamacare subsidy continues to cover more than 80% of the typical enrollee’s premium.

On today’s program: Casey Harper, Managing Editor for Broadcast at The Washington Stand and Host of the “Outstanding” podcast, reports on the proposed Obamacare subsidy extensions, the terms of the peace agreement that Ukrainian President Zelensky has agreed upon in principle, and the tenuous Isreal-Gaza peace plan under which Hamas continues attacking Israel.
Don’t bail out Joe Biden’s broken subsidies
Led by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Democrats are poised to shut down the federal government in the coming days, refusing to pass a seven-week stopgap funding bill to the Senate floor unless Republicans agree to a $1.4 trillion wish list. Yes, Democrats are demanding that the GOP pass one of the most expensive spending bills in United States history, in exchange for funding the government for a singular month.
Charlie Kirk’s prophetic warning: When dialogue dies, violence thrives Original
“When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts.” Just days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, a clip of him saying these exact words went viral. In it, Charlie explained to the students around him the reason why he felt called to speak at college campuses across America — something he did for years with great success. “When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group,” Charlie explained.

Congress Must Hold the CIA Accountable in the Wake of Recent JFK Assassination Revelations
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy remains one of the most defining moments in our nation’s history. Recent disclosures by the Central Intelligence Agency related to that tragic event raise disturbing questions that demand serious, bipartisan scrutiny—not more delay, not more obfuscation, and certainly not more secrecy. The American people deserve the truth.
Trust the FBI? Not until it tells us about Thomas Crooks | Blaze Media Original
During a press conference last week in the Oval Office, a reporter asked President Trump how it’s possible that we know more about a couple from a Coldplay concert just hours after their extramarital affair was exposed on social media than we do about Thomas Crooks more than a year after he came within centimeters of killing the president in Butler, Pennsylvania.
No, assaulting ICE is not a winning issue
Last week, in a joint operation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, federal authorities executed criminal search warrants at two marijuana facilities in California. The raids, characterized by some Democrats as an attack on “humble strawberry farmers,” ended in the arrest of 361 illegal immigrants and the recovery of 14 unaccompanied migrant children, who were likely the victims of forced labor and human trafficking.

Trump’s downsizing isn’t cruelty — it’s the last hope for solvency | Blaze Media Original
For more than a century, one trend has defined American politics: the relentless expansion of federal power. The Founders built a limited framework of law and order to protect liberty and promote a flourishing society. That framework has morphed into a sprawling leviathan that reaches into nearly every aspect of American life. Each crisis, often of the government’s own making, brings the same answer: more bureaucracy, more spending, more control.

Fight for self-employment and you’ll fight for women
Self-employment offers an on-ramp for Americans, especially women, to craft fulfilling careers and healthier lives. Small businesses, which are the backbone of our nation’s and Missouri’s economies, are composed of and depend on self-employed workers. New, ill-advised regulations out of Washington threaten to upend self-employment by robbing millions of people of their freedom to work for themselves. We cannot let this stand.

Rep. Burlison: It’s time to expand education freedom and choice in Missouri
America’s failing education system desperately needs reforms to return power to families and away from the government. That’s why Republican lawmakers nationwide have been leading the charge in passing education choice policies.
Opinion | ‘Worker’s Choice’ Is the Way Forward
Americans are better off in states with right-to-work laws, which let workers take a job without having to join a union or pay its fees. More than half of U.S. states have such protections on the books. This spring, however, Michigan Democrats scrapped their state’s right-to-work statute. The repeal will formally go into effect in February. Missouri voters overturned their state’s right-to-work law in a 2018 referendum, a year after the Legislature enacted it.

Opinion: Stop Socialism Act would protect Missouri businesses
Senate committee hearings continue, as Senate Bill 122 was examined by the Senate’s General Laws Committee on Tuesday, Feb. 5. This bill establishes the Stop Socialism Act. This legislation would create a cause of action by any person against a state or local governing body that provides a competitive service that also is provided by that person within the jurisdiction of the public body.
Claire McCaskill just another far left elitist
It’s an election year for Claire McCaskill, and like a cicada, every sixth year she turns up and starts chirping. After a few cycles of Claire, one can see a clear pattern. When she’s up for re-election she heads back to Missouri claiming to be moderate. However, more than a decade’s worth of votes show that her moderate talk is just chirps, when she’s actually only supported the far-left policies of the liberal elite.
