I’m a Democrat. My brother’s a Republican. We both read Red State Finance every week and send screenshots back and forth arguing about it. That probably tells you everything you need to know. It’s funny, honest, and doesn’t treat readers like children.

Sunday morning, Irish coffee, phone on silent, and Red State Finance before football starts. That’s become the routine. The closing rants crack me up because sometimes I totally agree and other times I’m sitting there arguing with my screen like an idiot.

The sarcasm is exactly why I ended up sticking around. It sounds like real people talking instead of polished TV anchors pretending everything is fine. I’ve already sent it to three friends because it feels like the kind of conversation people used to have before everybody lost their minds online.

Half the stuff in my inbox feels like somebody yelling at me to panic-buy something before midnight. Red State Finance feels more like sitting around with buddies talking about what’s actually going on in America. Funny, sharp, and honestly one of the few emails I look forward to every week.

I honestly appreciate that they’ll call out both political parties when they deserve it. That shouldn’t feel rare, but here we are. You can tell there are opinions behind the writing, but it doesn’t read like somebody blindly cheering for one team no matter what.

Every Sunday it’s basically a recap of how insane the previous week was. Markets up, markets down, politicians arguing, another ‘historic moment’ every 48 hours. Somehow they manage to make it entertaining without boring everyone to death.
