American Politics

What happens in American politics – whether on a local, state, or national level – plays a huge role in the way our country is shaped and changed. We consider it our job to make sure we are keeping an eye on our elected officials. You, as Americans, deserve to know that those we’ve collectively put into office are doing their jobs — representing us and not their own interests.

The news we publish here is designed to make sure you are in the loop. We can’t and won’t tell you what to do with your time, your money, or your vote — but we’ll surely make sure you have the information you need to make educated decisions.
