In Reason Foundation’s 2026 open enrollment report, Alaska, Maine, Maryland, and North Carolina each score zero out of 100 points, earning an F and tying for last place. Texas, Virginia, and Ohio are among the other 33 states that get F grades because they don’t allow students to transfer to public schools with open seats.

Federal regulators and state lawmakers are scrutinizing software that helps landlords set rents, fearing it encourages collusion and higher prices. But its effects on renters depend on the data it uses and what it’s designed to do.

America’s air traffic control system runs on outdated equipment funded by a dysfunctional Congress.
