J. D. Vance portrays his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, as a dying backwater with a culture of irresponsibility and laziness. It's actually seeing a revival — thanks not to a mindset change but to massive public investment of the type the GOP opposes.

When Mayor Brandon Johnson welcomes the Democratic National Convention to Chicago on Monday, his speech should include a warning to fellow Democrats:

The DNC revealed a Democratic Party still in love with the Obamas. The fantasy is that Kamala Harris will be a reboot. Brat summer is cooling — are you ready for an Obama autumn, heavy on feeling good and light on political substance?

Working-class American men are getting lonelier and sicker. Their unemployment numbers are increasing, and their lives are getting shorter. It's not just a sad state of affairs; it's a full-blown crisis.

The handful of people who turned up at an arts center in downtown Harrisburg, Pa., last month for a Democratic Party karaoke fundraiser stumbled onto a haunting scene—a cold, empty concert hall with the backdrop of a movie-theater-sized screen crackling with visual static.

It felt a bit like a joke: The wealthiest man in the world walks into a church to pay people to vote for his porn star-loving friend—all in the name of God.

The liberal attempt to counter Rush Limbaugh on the airwaves was too little, too late.
