The nation is headed in the wrong direction under the Biden administration, and it doesn’t take much digging to figure out why. This administration was caught red-handed crafting policies at the behest of far-left interest groups. The further left this administration moves, the further we stray from a free and fair society. So, which groups are running the show at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? To star... Read more »
Last week, members of America’s largest teachers union, the National Education Association (NEA), met to discuss their priorities for the upcoming year. Unsurprisingly, the NEA spent its time pushing for a slew of radical progressive policies instead of focusing on the needs of students. Whereas the NEA should have focused on addressing learning loss exacerbated by school shutdowns, the organizati... Read more »

President Biden’s top economic advisor is wrong—blanket student loan forgiveness will exacerbate inflation. Brian Deese, Director of the National Economic Council, is deceiving himself and the American people by claiming that student loan forgiveness will have a “pretty small” impact on inflation. We aren’t surprised by these false claims. Just last week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted s... Read more »
