The World Cup is underway in Mexico City with a star-studded kickoff, while closer to home, SLC’s airport earns a low-stress ranking and St. George unveils giant stainless steel slides that already have people wondering just how hot they get.

  If you feel like you don't quite fit with the label of Democrat or Republican, you're not alone.

We've been talking about inflation going up and the higher cost of everything making it harder and harder on everyday Americans. And with the midterms well underway -- at least the primaries -- how might this increased inflation affect voters' decisions? Let's break down these new inflation numbers and their effects with our friend Robert Spendlove, senior economist at Zions Bank.

It's the season for home selling and home buying, but are people actually buying and selling? A new report from Realtor.com says that nearly 5% of home listings were taken off the market last month -- that's the highest share in 4 years. Between that and first-time homebuyers continuing to struggle, what kinds of things can we make out of this more wishy-washy housing market? For answers, Inside Sources is joined by Russell Faucette, co-founder of The Stern Team of Omada Real Estate.

AI and "big data" has sure taken a prominent place on the midterm stage both here in Utah and around the country.

It's not chump change -- we're talking more than $1.3 million spent on Utah's primaries alone. Deseret News political reporter Brigham Tomco explains his latest reporting.

Endorsements can hold a lot of weight. Or, they can also mean absolutely nothing. But either way, you don't say someone endorsed you unless they actually endorse you. In a hotly contested race in Utah's Senate District 18, one candidate included an endorsement from Senator John Curtis on some flyers, even though Senator Curtis hadn't endorsed him. And while State Senator Dan McCay's team has admitted the mistake, those flyers still showed up in voters' mailboxes, much to the chagrin of his opponent, current State Representative Doug Fiefia.
