With Andy Beshear hitting the speaking circuit lately, we thought it was a good time to dust off our interview: Is Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear the dark horse Democrat who could shake up the 2028 presidential race? In this bold and unfiltered interview, SnydeReport host Gary Snyder digs deep with Beshear on everything from natural disasters to national dysfunction. With Kentucky battered by 14 disasters in five years, Beshear outlines how his leadership transformed emergency response, redefined the National Guard’s role, and delivered results in a red state through real bipartisanship.

Although Alexandra Wilson was motivated to enter the race for the Indiana Senate by her concerns over plans to consolidate Terre Haute’s high schools, the calls and text messages she received after filing her candidacy paperwork show the Trump and Braun administrations were still focused on the fight over redistricting.
"Any claim that there are subprime conditions at the Miami Correctional Facility in Bunker Hill, Indiana, is false," the ICE spokesperson said in a statement.
Diego Morales, Indiana's self-appointed ambassador of authoritarian chic, must be inconsolable now that his beloved Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party has suffered its first real electoral setback in decades. One can only imagine him refreshing Hungarian news sites in the dark, a half-eaten goulash growing cold beside him, wondering how democracy had the nerve to work. Someone should check on him — or at the very least, confiscate his passport so he doesn't try to move there and rebuild.
Indiana's governor held a ceremonial signing Monday for a bill he already signed last month, celebrating a housing affordability law that politely asks local governments to maybe consider building more homes — if they feel like it.
Here he is, having trapped the United States in a war with Iran that no one outside of his inner circle seemed to want. Peace talks have broken down, largely because Trump delegated them to Vice President J.D. Vance and a crew of businesspeople who have less experience in diplomacy than your average crew of kindergarteners.
A woman who has allegedly been stalking former Fleetwood Mac member Lindsey Buckingham and is believed to have thrown an unknown substance on the singer-guitarist has been arrested, according to police.
The embattled church led in part by Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith has cut services, lost families since head pastor's son sentenced to six years for child sexual abuse
A dispute over a downtown Martinsville building has escalated into a lawsuit filed by Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott, who claims he and his wife were promised ownership of the property after investing roughly $250,000 in improvements.
If there was one predominant lesson from Sunday’s election in Hungary it was that numbers count. The opposition to Orban’s Fidesz party was so massive, it overwhelmed all the rigging that Orban had put in place to protect his party: wildly distorted (gerrymandered) voting districts, control of the media and proliferation of state-sponsored propaganda, and various methods of official intimidation not unlike those that Trump has employed to cow Republican officeholders here in the U.S.
A new economic development initiative seeks to strengthen ties between the Hoosier State and Israel. The Indiana Economic Development Corporation announced Monday a $60 million investment and commercialization initiative known as Iron Nation-Indiana.
Indiana leaders are celebrating a strong start to 2026 for local entrepreneurs, even as economic stress weighs on small-business owners across the country.
Senator Jim Banks took to Laura Ingraham's nightly grievance festival Monday to declare that Thomas Friedman — who explicitly said he wants Iran militarily defeated — is somehow "demoralizing the troops." Friedman's actual crime was admitting he doesn't want Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu to politically benefit from a war, which is called having two thoughts simultaneously, a skill apparently not covered in the Jim Banks curriculum.
Though it’s far from over, Donald Trump’s illegal war of aggression in Iran has dead-ended in disaster and failure. Ceasefire negotiations could at least theoretically resume and the situation remains chaotic. But right now, it looks like the United States, in a war of choice with a regional power, has suffered arguably its most thorough and unambiguous strategic rebuke of the postwar era.
Donald Trump is torching the coalition that made him president, seemingly unaware of — or simply unconcerned by — the depth of discontent permeating his movement.
Jon Stewart awkwardly noticed that he bore an uncanny resemblance to the bedridden patient being “healed” by President Donald Trump in the president’s now-deleted post that appeared to depict him as Jesus Christ.

President Donald Trump’s posting of an image that appeared to depict him as Jesus drew rare criticism from the religious right, prompting allegations of blasphemy and calls for him to take down the post before it was deleted.
Over the weekend, Trump's VP became the face of the failed Iran negotiations. Then, Hungary's Orbán, whom Vance campaigned for, lost in a landslide. Next, will an unpopular Vance face AOC in 2028?
A federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by Donald Trump against The Wall Street Journal, ruling that the former president failed to plausibly allege that the paper acted with “actual malice” in publishing a controversial article about a purported letter linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
If you ever looked at the actions of the Trump White House and wondered, ‘Are they on drugs?’ — the answer was, in some cases, yes. Absolutely, yes.
As the president threatens to wipe out Iran and attacks the pope, even some former allies and advisers are questioning whether he has grown increasingly unbalanced, describing him as “lunatic” and “clearly insane.”
Donald Trump's Iran struggle has exposed a fundamental truth: the world no longer fears American threats, and traditional allies are abandoning Washington to form new partnerships.

The latest approval ratings are based on data collected from April 1-7, 2026. Ratings reflect a trailing seven-day simple moving average of views among adults in each country surveyed.
CHINA has brazenly breezed past Donald Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade – with its US-sanctioned tanker passing by American warships unchallenged.
David Pakman, host of the liberal news commentary show, "The David Pakman Show," said in a new video that MAGA CNBC host Joe Kernan got "dogwalked" by Democrat Pete Buttigieg during an interview on Monday. Buttigieg fact-checked Kernan on a couple of claims he made about the economy during the Biden administration, which caused Kernan to lose his cool.

It’s mission accomplished for UCLA. Gabriela Jaquez, Lauren Betts and the rest of the UCLA seniors secured the first NCAA women's basketball national championship in school history — a goal that was set after losing in the first Final Four last season. Jaquez scored 21 points, Betts added 16 and UCLA routed South Carolina 79-51 Sunday in the title game.
