LOS ANGELES (AP) — Win or lose, billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer will leave a mark in the history books in his bid to become California’s next governor. He’s running the most expensive political advertising campaign in the country this year. Data from ad tracker AdImpact shows Steyer has spent or booked over $195 million in ads for broadcast TV, cable and radio, with the tally still growing. The lavish spending has lifted the former hedge fund manager turned liberal activist into contention in the crowded race. But he’s not breaking away from the field. Still, the cash advantage could give him an edge in the race's final days.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is meeting with his Cabinet at a precarious moment for talks aimed at ending the war with Iran and asserts the Iranian side is “negotiating on fumes.” The Republican president has projected confidence that he's closing in on a deal that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and give him a credible argument that Iran’s nuclear capability has been diminished enough to declare victory. But Trump risks finding that closure to his war of choice comes with an unsatisfactory ending — one that puts off many critical issues to be resolved later. It leaves Trump vulnerable to criticism that Iran’s hard-line leaders will emerge from the conflict battered but emboldened.

Trump's approval among Republicans is over 80%, higher than George W. Bush and Barack Obama's party approval ratings at the same point in their presidencies.

Ken Paxton Wins Big!

Josh takes a deep dive into the historical roots of Left-wing political violence, tracing the ideology and movements back to the late 1700s and highlighting some of the violent episodes that shaped modern political extremism. Later, Josh is joined by author Jamie Glazov to discuss his new book United in Hate and the ideological forces driving today’s political Left. The two examine why authoritarian impulses often emerge within Leftist movements and how those ideas collide with principles like human rights, liberty, and democratic governance.

Mark says it best—and listen to this, because it's gold. There is no greed more insatiable than collectivist government. None. They always want more. More of your money, more control, more of your life. Let me say it plain: No working American should get a free ride on someone else's dime. You work? You pay your share. That's how it works. But this idea that some folks get to go tax-free while the rest of us foot the bill? That's not fairness—that's theft.

Major Midterm Election Shake Up

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during the Cabinet meeting that the app would launch “on all major platforms" on Thursday, May 28. A provision of Trump’s tax legislation, Trump Accounts are meant to give $1,000 to every newborn, so long as their parents open an account. That money is then invested in the stock market by private firms, and the child can access the money when they turn 18. Calling it a “great symbol of the 250th anniversary,” Bessent said that “nearly 6 million kids” had been signed up for the accounts, which officially launch July 4.

The Right View with Lara Trump, May 30, 2026

WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) - The United States must prevent any cases of Ebola from entering the country from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where an outbreak has already caused a suspected 220 deaths and 900 cases, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday. "We cannot and will not allow any cases of Ebola to enter the United States," Rubio told President Donald Trump at a cabinet meeting. "The State Department and other agencies represented here, the Centers for Disease Control, HHS, others, are working very, very hard to contain this crisis to the countries where it's currently located, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and so we surged assistance to make sure that it is being contained there," Rubio said. The U.S. CDC last week imposed entry restrictions for 30 days on travelers who have been in the DRC, Uganda and South Sudan in the past 21 days, including lawful permanent residents, known as Green Card holders. It is also screening people traveling from those countries at three U.S. airports.

LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say there’s no hope of finding more survivors at a Washington paper mill where nine missing workers remain missing after a tank imploded and released a highly destructive chemical mixture. Authorities have confirmed that at least one person was killed in Tuesday's implosion at Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. in Longview. Crews hope to resume searching Wednesday but must stabilize the tank before any of the bodies can be recovered. Officials say it is at risk of collapsing further and leaking more of the caustic liquid. The cause of the implosion remains unknown. Authorities says there’s no threat to the public.

WASHINGTON, May 27 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday told a cabinet meeting that Iran very much wanted to make a deal, but that the U.S. was not satisfied with it yet. "Iran is very much intent, they want very much to make a deal. So far they haven't gotten there ... we're not satisfied with it, but we will be. We will be either that or we'll have to just finish the job," Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting at the White House.
