A Ranking of All 96 Best Picture Winners
Paul Ryan · Follow 44 min read · -- I watched and ranked all 96 Best Picture winners. I couldn’t tell you why. Now it’s important to point out, I’m not a film buff. I’m just a guy who sometimes watches movies, has completionist tendencies and likes to rank things. I had already seen about 40ish Best Picture winners when I decided to do this, so getting through the final 50+ took me about five months. I went with the Letterboxd star system of half a star through five stars to rank these.

Ryan’s Take On HUD’s Section 8 Housing Voucher Program

A Conversation with Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) on the Republican Vision for Higher Education Policy
Submit questions to or on Twitter with #FoxxAtAEI. The Biden administration has fundamentally transformed the federal student loan program. The administration’s repayment waivers, extensions of the interest pause, and sweeping regulatory changes have already added billions to the deficit. Now, it is considering even more aggressive policies to cancel student debt, such as $10,000 blanket loan forgiveness and expansions to costly income-driven repayment policies. How should Republicans respond?

On Wednesday, governor Philip Lowe outlined the RBA's updated economic forecasts, released in full on Friday.

Trump wants to make money off the fake 'stolen election' crisis he created. Don't let him.
For days, President Donald Trump has been blasting his email list with urgent pleas for contributions to fund litigation challenging the results of last week’s election. The consensus among elections experts is that these lawsuits have no chance of changing the outcome of the election, which former Vice President Joe Biden clearly won. But that’s not stopping Trump.He’s not only damaging American’s faith in our elections, he’s also misleading his donors and will probably profit off the endeavor.

Obama and the true measure of progressivism
My sense is that President Obama wanted his administration to be the capstone of a century-long, progressive project.

Only eight months after taking office, he took his focus off the economy and put it on what he hoped would be his single biggest domestic achievement: healthcare reform.
