"New York City spends roughly $37 billion/year to educate about 850,000 kids. That's over $42,000 per child per year. And the results are abysmal. Two-thirds of fourth graders can't do math properly and almost three-quarters can't read at grade level... ...What we can do, Mr. Mayor, is tell every mom in NYC that the $42,000 currently spent on that terrible education is going to be her money." Jeff Yass, one of the 2026 Alexander Hamilton Award honorees, on how we can solve NYC's education crisis through school choice.

.Ilya Shapiro "The deans, the presidents, the provosts...what they are is spineless cowards, unwilling to enforce their own rules to police the inmates that have taken over their institutions." "They're amoral. They want to give grease to the squeaky wheel because they've made a career, and they've risen to this high level in academic bureaucracy, by navigating the incentive structure with which they're faced. And that incentive structure has always said, when you have these radicals protesting, placate them, because the other side's not gonna do anything." Ilya Shapiro sits down with Zack Smith to answer the question: What's wrong with America's law schools?

Even if it is, which it clearly is not—not well enough, anyway—it's totally outrageous to give tablets to prisoners... ...I don't care if all they're doing is going to Instagram to find fun new recipes...it would still be an outrage that they have a tablet. Prison is not supposed to be fun." Matt Walsh on Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ and Haley Strack's recent City Journal investigation:

DDM: "I would think that you would support it, because you say we should arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, so I imagine you support the arrest of Nicolas Maduro?..." "I do not support the overthrow of democratically elected leaders anywhere in the country." "Oh! So Netanyahu, who is a democratically elected leader, is bad, but Maduro, who destroyed a nation with 8 million refugees, he's a good guy because he’s a socialist, right?"

Very few dollars were allocated for the kind of psychiatric residential treatment facilities that could help kids who repeatedly accessed emergency rooms for crisis. The result was a total mismatch between what was needed and what was offered to people." Christina Buttons discusses her City Journal report about how the equity agenda has consumed California's youth mental health crisis:

New York City is about to make shopping on Amazon way more expensive. The city council is considering a bill that would end the use of third-party contractors for deliveries—forcing every company engaging in last mile deliveries to get a license from the city. That would add an estimated $600 to the delivery fees of every customer. Adam Lehodey in City Journal:
