Abdul El-Sayed, a left-wing Michigan Senate candidate who campaigns as a champion of the working class, disclosed a rental property in Dubai and up to $100,000 in debt to a luxury real estate developer, days before the state's primary election. El-Sayed released his 2026 financial disclosure Monday afternoon, just hours before his final primary debate against Congresswoman Haley Stevens. The timing was no accident. El-Sayed had previously requested an extension that would have pushed the filing past the August 4 primary, keeping voters in the dark until after ballots were cast. He said the disclosure was "complicated" because "my wife and her family own property abroad." Complicated is one word for it. The disclosure, first reported by…Open

The gap between federal relief and state-level […] The post Democrat-led states still tax tips, overtime, and Social Security a year after Trump signed relief into law appeared first on American Almanac .
A year after President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" eliminated federal taxes on tips, overtime, and part of Social Security income, more than 30 Democrat-led states are refusing to follow suit, leaving millions of workers and retirees with higher tax bills than their neighbors in states that conformed. The gap between federal relief and state-level holdouts is now stark enough to measure in dollars. A server in Idaho who earns $25,000 a year in tips keeps an extra $1,325 because the state matched the federal exemption. A server earning the same tips in Minnesota hands roughly $1,700 of that income to the state, taxed at a 6.8% rate the legislature never bothered to adjust. Same job. Same hours.

The hosts examine China’s alleged election interference, America’s economic dependence on Beijing, tariffs, debt, and the financial pressure crushing the working class. Finally, they use lessons from basketball, faith, and leadership to call for discipline, decisive action, and a…
