"I work for an institution that I think is the best in the business, the Manhattan Institute. I think we do good work that has a high degree of accuracy and rigor and intelligence. And I think that we’ve put up practical political victories in a way that few others have." MI is honored to work with Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️, who the New York Times described as "the most successful activist of this era, certainly on the right."

"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.

"Newsom is taking millions of dollars from taxpayers to give tablets to every inmate in California. He doesn't deny that part—that's happening. He just says that the usage is being monitored. 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:

Heather Mac Donald on 'teen takeovers': "Americans turn their eyes away from the real problem, which is the failure to socialize a very large number of overwhelmingly black young people. ...It's up to the parents themselves. It's up to the community leaders to say, 'We're sick of this. Start obeying the law. Control your kids. Don't let them run the streets at night.'"

"The Newsom administration devoted a significant sum of money towards broad-based population prevention. 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:

So all these alphabet agencies...the president is now in control of these agencies, and that is right for democratic accountability." Ilya Shapiro and Katie Pavlich on the latest SCOTUS rulings:

MI's Stu Smith has been at the forefront of investigating the Singham network. The things he has exposed are insane. Singham has deep connections to the DSA, far-left nonprofits, organized riots, the PSL, pro-Cuban brigades—and that's just the beginning. Here's a rundown Stu did with Liz Wheeler on some of Singham's network:

"You hand a diagnosis to a child...and you forever change that child's view of himself or herself. That's what we were seeing. We were seeing kids handed a limitation and told: 'There's something wrong with you, and only science can fix you. It's out of your control.'... That's a devastating thing to tell a child."

They are putting themselves on the line every single day to try and protect the thousands of law-abiding, hard-working black residents of high crime neighborhoods. When the police back off...we've seen this again and again after moments of mass hysteria about phony police racism, crime goes through the roof." Heather Mac Donald on Daily Wire's Morning Wire:

There is a solution to stabilizing the debt: high-skilled immigration. It feels "nice" to use a family-sponsorship immigration model. But we must deal with the fiscal problems here at home. A talent-based immigration model will bring in ONLY those who contribute to our economy. Daniel Di Martino 🇺🇸🇻🇪 did the math, which Rep. David Schweikert shared on the House floor today. Worth the watch:
