Your government is out of control. It’s doing things it has no business doing.
It spends way too much money. It gets involved in way too many wars. It not only tells you what you can and can’t say—it actively censors you.
And the things your government should do, it can’t, or won’t, do at all.
It can’t keep your streets clean of crime and filth. It can’t keep your neighborhoods safe enough for kids to play outside. It can’t even prevent your country from being invaded by millions of illegal migrants.
Why is that?
Because your leaders no longer represent you. They represent themselves and their friends.
On each episode of "The Signal Sitdown," politics editor Bradley Devlin exposes how the sausage really gets made in Washington, D.C. with the help of guests who have experience on the inside.
"The Signal Sitdown" takes you inside the biggest battles in Washington, D.C., as they happen. We’ll analyze the policymaking process from an unabashedly and unapologetically conservative perspective and together reclaim government from the self-serving elites.
Fingers will be pointed.

Newsom Goes to War With Trump Over 2026 Midterms | Hans von Spakovsky
California voters greenlit Gov. Gavin Newsom’s war against President Donald Trump for control in the 2026 midterms.
Voters in California approved of Proposition 50, a ballot measure that allows Newsom and Democrats to take control of redistricting from the state’s independent commission, by an overwhelming margin—nearly 2-to-1. Democrat victory in the Proposition 50 fight, not to mention the other off-year elections, is the Left’s strongest sally yet in what has become known as the redistricting wars. Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss.
“What Prop 50 does is it temporarily takes away the power from the independent redistricting commission to draw up congressional districts so the Legislature can do it, and they're going to use that power to redraw the congressional districts,” von Spakovsky told The Daily Signal.
A 2008 referendum first established the independent redistricting commission that California voters rejected Tuesday.
