American Infrastructure Is About to Get Even Worse

October 17, 2025 about, American, even, worse, infrastructure0 comment

In what appears to be a case of extreme political hardball, the Trump administration has frozen funding for two of the most important infrastructure projects in the country, both based in New York City: the construction of new tunnels to carry trains under the Hudson River, known as the Gateway project, and the extension of Manhattan’s Second Avenue Subway. The White House’s decision, announced during the government shutdown, seems designed to put pressure on Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leaders in the Senate and House respectively, who both…

The Trump administration is continuing to follow the authoritarian playbook by working to criminalize and silence those who are pushing back. While Trump takes away our health care and rips kids away from their families, we answered with historic organizing and protests across the country, with millions making their voices heard. The people showed up en masse to demonstrate where the real power lies. From D.C. to Des Moines, MoveOn members mobilized in their communities, calling out MAGA extremism and demanding dignity for all. When Trump and Republicans made massive…

Reclaiming the American Frontier Spirit

The following is an excerpt from Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ new book, “Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America,” released Nov. 12. Have you ever driven through a blizzard in Wyoming? Your field of vision doesn’t extend more than twenty feet. There are only the storm and the road, except for the occasional butte or buffalo. Silence descends on the glacier-carved valleys as ice and snow pile up and muffle all sound. The grizzlies seek shelter. You want to do the same. The frontier is dangerous. It…

Muslim American Support for Trump Is an Act of Self-Sabotage

October 30, 2024 American, support, Muslim, Trump, SelfSabotage0 comment

Over the weekend, a group of Arab American and Muslim American leaders in Michigan appeared onstage at a Donald Trump rally and urged their communities to vote for him. The outreach might be working: A recent poll showed Trump with a narrow lead among Arab American voters. This is shocking, but hardly surprising. It’s shocking because Trump’s stated policies—on Palestine, on political freedom, and on the very presence of Muslims in America—are antithetical to so much of what most of these voters believe in. It’s unsurprising because we Arab and…

A Legendary American Photograph

July 14, 2024 American, Photograph, Legendary0 comment

Donald Trump raises a fist. Blood streaks his face. The sky is high, blue, and empty except for an American flag caught in a hard wind. A Secret Service agent has her arms around his waist. The former president’s mouth is open, in the middle of a snarled shout. We know from video footage that he is yelling “Fight!,” that the crowd is chanting “USA!” The photograph, by the Associated Press’s Evan Vucci, became immediately legendary. However you feel about the man at its center, it is undeniably one of…
