The TPPF take: It’s time to enact school choice, starting here in Texas.
“School choice is the civil rights movement of our time,” says TPPF’s Richard Johnson. “Few things matter more to parents than ensuring their children have a high-quality education that equips them with the tools and experiences necessary to succeed. It is time for Texas to give poor and working class families the assistance they need to send their children to the school of their choice.”

An Ill Wind

The TPPF take: Offshore wind energy is expensive—and harmful to the environment.
“The political pressure to implement offshore wind has been intense,” says TPPF’s Robert Henneke. “The Interior Department’s ‘Smart from the Start’ program fast-tracks offshore wind development, improperly granting permissions allowing foreign-owned energy companies to move forward despite the harms to our safety, our domestic industries and our environment.”

Justice For All
What to know: Bureaucrats within the Justice Department are said to be “terrified” at the return of President-elect Donald Trump.

The TPPF take: Under the Biden-Harris administration, the Justice Department became known for a two-tiered system of justice, targeting the administration’s political foes.
“The remedy for a two-tiered system of justice isn’t to keep the tiers and re-divide the country, by political connections rather than race; the remedy is a consistent system that promises justice for all, with malice toward none (not even toward that basket of deplorables),” says TPPF’s Brett Tolman. “When the system gives a pass to the politically connected, it undermines the rule of law we all want and need.”
