Ed Feulner, founding trustee and president of the Heritage Foundation, was a luminary in the conservative movement, committed to building an America where freedom flourishes. He was a mentor to many and a pillar of modern conservatism. His legacy will live on for generations to…
A truly good man who was a titan of the conservative movement. My heart goes out to Ed’s family and my friends @Heritage. My colleagues @A1Policy and @TPPF mourn with you. America is a better place because of Ed’s vision, passion, and tenacity. He will be missed!

Dr. Edwin J. Feulner was more than a leader—he was a visionary, a builder, and a patriot of the highest order. The Heritage Foundation will honor Ed’s life the best way we know how: by carrying his mission forward with courage, integrity, and determination. We will never forget…
Today, the Supreme Court again confirmed the obvious: the President of the United States, as the head of the Executive Branch, has the ultimate authority to make decisions about staffing levels, administrative organization, and day-to-day operations of federal agencies. While…

California has just REJECTED our resolution agreement to follow federal law and keep men out of women's sports. Turns out Gov. Newsom’s acknowledgment that “it’s an issue of fairness” was empty political grandstanding. @CAgovernor, you'll be hearing from @AGPamBondi.

Common sense won today—a major victory for women and girls nationwide! @Penn has agreed to apologize and comply with Title IX, thanks to @POTUS’s leadership and dedication to protecting women’s sports at the University and for future generations. ed.gov/about/news/pre…
The Supreme Court’s ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor is a major win for religious liberty and parental rights. The Court rightfully held that schools can’t shut parents out or disregard their religious obligations to their children. A great day for parents and education champions!
This —> Raising your own child is not “unpaid child care.”
as I’ve been watching this unfold from NJ, aside from the rent stuff and the grocery store stuff and the transit stuff, I was really struck by this paragraph of Mamdani’s website. let’s just take the top part sentence by sentence:

Teachers see their students’ daily struggles & triumphs. Parents know their kids’ dreams. Local leadership understands local values & challenges. Why should a federal bureaucracy override these voices with one-size-fits-all rules? blog.ed.gov/2025/03/educat…

Reading passages on the SAT have been shortened from 500-750 words down to 25-150. They say “the eliminated reading passages are ‘not an essential prerequisite for college’ and that the new, shorter content helps ‘students who might have struggled to connect with the subject…
The Supreme Court today rightly upheld a Tennessee state law to protect children from irreversible harm. Great news as the Department of Education recognizes Title IX Month.
Money won’t fix our broken education system. Schools need to get back to basics—teach kids how to read and write. It’s that simple.
This is a landmark moment for American education and for the millions of parents who have been fighting to restore agency over their children’s futures. @lindseymburke has been the intellectual backbone of the school choice movement for more than a decade. She’s one of the most…
Student aid fraud steals taxpayer dollars and denies help to students who truly need it. We’re cracking down with new ID verification to stop abuse, protect funding, and make sure every student gets the support they deserve. ed.gov/about/news/pre…
Thank you, @JasonBedrick, for being such a vocal and effective advocate for education freedom—and for being a great colleague.
Today is a meaningful one for me. 21 years ago today, on my 21st birthday, I filed to run for state legislator in NH, primarily to advocate for school choice. I lost. Two years later, I ran again and won—but my voucher bill went down in flames. Bigly. A few years later,…
