  • The Supreme Court’s McCutcheon decision. Thomas Mann says that today’s decision by the Supreme Court in McCutcheon v. FEC is “worse than it looks.”
  • Decide on liquefied natural gas exports. Charles Ebinger and Tim Boersma argue that it is time for a decision on unrestricted LNG exports.
  • Dubious pre-K science. Russ Whitehurst examines the data on Georgia’s universal pre-K programs on child outcomes, which President Obama has praised. 
  • Is an innovative bureaucracy possible? John Hudak reviews a Partnership for Public Service study that says an “innovative, streamlined, modern competitive, and efficient” bureaucracy “is well within reach.”
