- Republicans Are in Trouble, but Democrats Could Blow It
In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump carried Tennessee’s Seventh Congressional District by 22 points. Last night, in a special election to represent the district, the Republican Matt Van Epps won by only nine points, defeating State Representative Aftyn Behn, a Democrat. Trump celebrated the outcome on Truth Social as a “BIG Congressional WIN,” but the margin of victory in a deep-red district is ominous for Republicans. Van Epps underperformed Trump by 13 percentage points, a sign that the party is vulnerable heading into the 2026 midterms. If Democrats could replicate that shift everywhere next year, they would gain upwards of 40 seats in the House and take back the Senate. But last night’s outcome also offers Democrats a cautionary tale. An off-year special election in December is precisely the kind of low-turnout situation in which the party’s highly educated base currently dominates. In such races, Democrats probably need to… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago - 2026 Mecum Auction Preview: Rare and Unusual

- What to Know About DOT’s Crackdown on CDL Mills
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has launched one of its most aggressive enforcement actions yet against commercial driver training fraud. On December 1, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that nearly 3,000 CDL training providers have been removed from the Training Provider Registry (TPR), with another 4,000 placed on notice for potential removal. This effort marks a major nationwide crackdown on so-called CDL mills, which officials say are cutting corners, falsifying records, and allowing unqualified drivers to take the wheel of heavy commercial vehicles. DOT and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) conducted a sweeping review of 16,000 training providers across the country and revealed widespread noncompliance with federal entry-level driver training (ELDT) standards. Why Thousands of Training Providers Were Removed FMCSA found several violations that led to immediate removal from the TPR, including: Falsified or manipulated training records for CDL applicants Failure to meet… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - What Josh Shapiro Believes
It is a rare thing to see Josh Shapiro sweat. For all the grief the Pennsylvania governor gets for imitating Barack Obama—the staggered cadence, the side-of-the-mouth delivery for effect—their essential shared trait is self-possession. If Pennsylvania’s governor has a superpower, it is an unflappability that allows him to stay cool and composed and to communicate precisely what he wants to communicate.Most of the time.I sat down to talk with Shapiro earlier this fall, shortly after he held a tough-on-crime press conference near Philadelphia. By that point, I had interviewed him several times. His comments were always polished and predictable: More than once, I would return to variations of a question I’d already asked, hoping to penetrate his practiced commentary, only to get the same responses, word for word. This was especially the case when I raised the subject of Kamala Harris.I knew, from speaking with people close to Shapiro, that… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
