Fort Worth, Texas — A conservative voter who moved from Democrat-controlled California to Republican-led Texas is rejecting Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico's leftism, his comments coming as the midterm race between the Democrat and state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) heats up.

The Trump administration has closed a discrimination case against a well-known company — and the people who have had their eyes on this case for over a year are taking a victory lap.
On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced a settlement of $5 million with Instacart for allegedly discriminating against U.S. and American workers.
'We will not stop fighting for US workers until there is a fair playing field.'
In its investigation of the case, the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that Instacart gave preference to holders of temporary employment visas over American workers.
Specifically, the DOJ explained, Instacart "created additional burdens on U.S. workers to apply for job opportunities by requiring that applications be physically mailed for positions advertised as part of PERM recruitment."
PERM is the Permanent Labor Certification program used by companies to sponsor temporary visa holders for permanent resident status "after performing good-faith recruitment for U.S. workers."
As a result of the additional burdens, U.S. workers who applied were "not timely considered," the DOJ claimed.

Maplebear Inc., doing business as Instacart, will be required to create and to pay $4 million into a settlement fund and will pay another $1 million in civil penalties to the United States.
According to a summary of the terms of the settlement, Instacart will also be required to revise its PERM policies, including allowing for electronic application submissions and to train personnel to give American workers proper consideration during the hiring process.
“This significant resolution marks the fifteenth settlement agreement the Civil Rights Division has reached under my leadership to protect U.S. workers,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in the DOJ's press release. “Our record demonstrates that the Justice Department is holding companies who prefer workers with temporary employment visas accountable. We will not stop fighting for U.S. workers until there is a fair playing field.”
Andrea Lucas, chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, reaffirmed the Trump administration's commitment to holding companies accountable for discriminatory practices.
"The EEOC is committed to holding companies accountable when they deny equal work opportunities to U.S. workers by preferring temporary visa holders for jobs," Lucas said. "Discrimination against workers based on their American national origin has no place in our economy.”
The news of this settlement was gladly welcomed by Jobs.Now, which first sounded the alarm on Instacart's questionable hiring practices in April 2025.
Jobs.Now claims it documented several "hidden jobs" from Instacart before being "forced to take their ads down" after being threatened with a lawsuit. It then alerted The Hill to continue the investigation, culminating in a September 2025 report on the situation.
"So happy to finally see justice for Americans job seekers Instacart unfairly discouraged from applying!" Jobs.Now wrote. "Another win for Harmeet!"
In a statement to Blaze News, Jobs.Now explained the legal threat it received:
"We were shocked when Instacart threatened legal action against us simply for publicizing their job ads to the world, under the pretense that we were violating their copyright for the name 'Instacart,' and maintain that it is our First Amendment right to republish job ads so Americans can finally have the chance to apply."
The company said it was "extremely happy" to see the settlement announcement from the DOJ but added that more work needs to be done regarding the PERM process:
"We call for all PERM advertising to require:
An Instacart spokesperson told Blaze News, "We encourage qualified U.S. job seekers to apply to join our team. Hiring and investing in American workers across our U.S. business is our priority, and we actively promote every role across many channels to ensure qualified U.S. candidates are always first in line for opportunities."
"While we maintain that our practices complied with all applicable laws and regulations, we’re pleased to have resolved this matter so we can keep our full focus on delivering on our mission for customers, shoppers, retailers, and brands."

President Donald Trump is usually making fun of his opponents, but during a midterm campaign rally on Wednesday, he took aim at Montana Republicans.
"Leave me alone," Trump said to the crowd at Majestic Valley Arena in Kalispell, Montana.
'The 21st-century battlefield is being redefined by new weapons.'
Trump poked fun at Montana politicians to stop bothering him over plans for a new weapons testing facility in the state, which was dubbed a "super range" to test high-tech weaponry for the United States military.
"I'm pleased to inform you and announce that right here in Montana, the Department of War is going to establish a new super range for testing advanced weapons and technologies," Trump told supporters.
The president said the range would test autonomous weapons, space weapons, and other forms of "electronic warfare technology," including "supersonics and hypersonics."
The announcement comes after the government finally confirmed in September that it had weapons in space, with Air Force Secretary Troy Meink saying that America has "on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action."

Trump made remarks in Montana about his fellow GOP members bothering him about wanting the range in their state.
"You're getting it, everybody, will you please leave me alone?" Trump joked. "Leave me alone, Tim. Tim Sheehy would drive me crazy."
At the same time, the president said that maybe the rest of the country "won't be thrilled" because of how many other people wanted to house the range in their jurisdiction.
According to TWZ 10, Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mt.) said on Thursday that he has been a strong advocate for getting the range built in Montana and "securing $10 million for a feasibility study" through the National Defense Authorization Act that passed earlier this year.
"The 21st-century battlefield is being redefined by new weapons and evolving technical frontiers that require a novel approach to how America will resource its warfighting capabilities," Sheehy said in a statement.
Sheehy went on to say that the advanced weaponry now available to the United States — electronic, hypersonic, and space — has a "new class of testing" and evaluation requirements that necessitate the development of such infrastructure.

Although the senator said that the United States risks falling behind its adversaries, it is unclear exactly what capabilities the U.S. military currently possesses.
Until recently, much of the advancements in military technology promoted by the armed forces have been for on-the-ground use, like Palmer Luckey's x-ray vision helmets and offline AI chatbots to assist soldiers in their missions.
"By combining our state's vast landscapes, innovative spirit, and proud tradition of military service, we are the Last Best Place to ensure America's fighting men and women have the technological edge they need to dominate the battlefield and win the wars of tomorrow," Sheehy added.

Duke’s loss to North Carolina took a back seat to a sideline confrontation that went viral. When Duke quarterback Kimari Robinson stood over injured teammate DaShawn Stone, a female staffer pushed him out of the way.
Robinson appeared to angrily swat her arm away, before apologizing later.
“Kimari Robinson, he stood over DaShawn Stone. Stone is motionless on the turf. Kimari says that Stone is like a family member to him. Two trainers are kneeled over Stone. And then a third staffer, the red-headed woman, she runs in, steps into that scene and circle, and she pushes Robinson out of the way,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says.
“He swatted her arm away. The clip then goes viral. Everybody’s got an opinion, and oh, it’s a bad look for Kimari Robinson. Robinson apologized to her that night and then again Sunday on X,” he continues.
“I want to publicly apologize to a member of our training staff for how I acted toward her during Saturday’s game. I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that. Immediately after the game, I apologized to her personally and checked to make sure she was okay,” Robinson said in a post on X.
“The injured player on the ground, DaShawn Stone, is like family to me, and I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn’t,” he continued.
“I’m truly sorry for my actions and for letting her, myself, and our program down. I have to be better than that,” he added.
“So hats off to Kimari Robinson. He owned his reaction. A man controls his hands even in panic. He failed that test. No excuse. But the narrative sense is a lie by omission,” Whitlock says.
Whitlock notes that the trainer put her hands on Robinson first in an attempt to shove him out of the way.
“You do not walk into a pile around a hurt player and shove a 200-pound quarterback in full pads. That’s not a trainer offering care. That is a trainer doing way too much in escalating a situation,” he explains.
“And my question is, where is her apology?” Whitlock says, asking, “Why is correction only traveling one direction toward the man?”
He also points out that in the clip of the interaction, “she doesn’t do anything” to help Stone.
“There’s no brace. There’s no evaluation. There’s no comfort. Her sole contribution to the entire sequence is pushing Robinson. Yet the mob demands Robinson carry 100% of the blame. She carries zero. She is cast as the innocent victim. Fragile, helpless, beyond reproach,” he says.
“She’s not the picture of innocence. She’s a girlboss showing up to put men in their place,” he adds.
