Kinship of Ideas In their own minds, the Patriot leaders were defending the freedoms that they believed they had been born with as freeborn Englishmen against the innovations of the Crown. The Patriots were purifying and distilling what they believed they had been born with...

It's why we feel this kinship of ideas that goes much deeper than the kinship of consanguinity. ~Conjecture Institute Advisor @DanielJHannan for @TFASorg

Jamie Wagner, Teaching Fellow at @FTEorg, explains why the approach to financial education needs a reboot. She argues that when educators prioritize financial "how-to" over economic "why," they risk sending young adults into the world prepared to follow rules but unprepared to understand the system itself. dailysignal.com/2026/04/20/hig…

If we want to solve our national debt, can we afford to stifle the growth that funds our future? @anne_r_bradley, TFAS vice president of academic affairs challenges the "Liberation Day" tariff rollout with @ckchumley, Novak '08. She argues that while these policies are framed as protection, they act as a massive hidden tax on American families and small businesses. youtube.com/watch?v=fdf2UI….

“But right as [the capsule] was getting close, late at night, the lights of our ship and then the lights of the small boats around it kind of lit it up … And being that close to it, all of a sudden, it being, 200 or 300 feet away, and just floating right there as our small boats are hooking up the tow lines."
