Last month, the National Assessment of Educational Progress was released. Commonly referred to as the “nation’s report card,” it is funded by the Department of Education, and in classic bureaucratic style, it crunched its numbers through slick graphics and lots of heady language.

Ukraine is likely to make painful concessions to secure peace as long as Russia knows any future attempt to invade Ukraine will mean conflict with American-supported European ground forces. Still, Trump is very badly wrong to suggest […]
President Donald Trump is recruiting some of the brightest innovators in the private sector to tackle challenges facing our bloated federal government. A large part of that effort, the development of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, led by Elon Musk, is already making a significant impact on the stale administrative state.

Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Tuesday showed that the number of illegal immigrants encountered by Border Patrol on the southern border fell to 60,000 in January, down from 96,000 in December and down from over 300,000 in December 2023, the height of the Biden border crisis.
