Juan Williams is giving new eyes to a project that he first started more than 30 years ago, penning a book on what he describes as the growth of a 21st century civil rights movement.
"New Prize for These Eyes: The Rise of America's Second Civil Rights Movement" will be released in January, publisher Simon & Schuster announced this week.
The tome is a follow-up to Williams's 1988 bestseller-turned-award-winning PBS series, "Eyes on the Prize," which focused o...

Want fewer abortions? Vote for Harris.
One consequence of Kamala Harris’s newborn presidential candidacy is that abortion has become an even bigger campaign issue. Harris has been talking about it for months, far more than Biden did. She aims to mobilize pro-choice voters on her side.
But pro-life voters, who want more than anything else to minimize the number of abortions, also ought to vote for her. They should try to elect Democratic congressional candidates, as well. A Trump presidency, particularly if he gets ...
GOP ready to pounce on Harris policy pivots
Vice President Harris’s quick pivot to her White House bid has prompted an about-face on multiple key issues that could affect outcomes in battleground states, handing former President Trump and Republicans a prime attack line.
In the roughly one week since Harris replaced President Biden as the probable Democratic nominee, her campaign has moved to distance her from a series of positions she took when she was a candidate in the 2020 presidential primary.
She no long...
Durbin says Harris’ shift on some policies won’t change how people vote
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) downplayed concerns that changes in Vice President Harris’s positions could influence voters in November.
Harris’s policy platform has changed somewhat since her 2020 presidential campaign, including now backing fracking, more strict border regulation and abandoning a proposal for a single-payer health care system.
“A position may be so central to the campaign that it makes a significant difference, but I think the bottom line is the voters ...
Harris campaign says Project 2025 ‘isn’t going anywhere’ after director departs
Vice President Harris’s campaign argues that Project 2025 will still be on the ballot in November after the project’s director left his role amid criticism from former President Trump’s campaign.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Harris campaign said that “Project 2024 isn’t going anywhere,” despite the Heritage Foundation announcing that Paul Dans, the director of the foundation-led project, is stepping down.
“Project 2025 is on the ballot because Donald Trump is on th...

It’s time Washington listen to Sen. McCain’s warning on the broken status quo
This week marks seven years since Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) historic vote to save ObamaCare. I will never forget a phone call I had with him just moments before he gave the big thumbs down on the Senate floor. He was reaching out about a statement I had issued opposing the Republicans’ effort to repeal ObamaCare. He thanked me for putting people over party and confidentially let me know he was going to do the same.
Although we shared the same concern that our health care sy...
Harris campaign announces $50 million ad buy ahead of DNC

The campaign announced the ad titled "Fearless" will be the first in a series of paid media efforts ahead of the convention, which begins Aug. 19 in Chicago.
The 60-second ad touts Harris' record as a prosecutor and California attorney general, ...
Behind hoopla, Democrats anxious about Harris
Behind the public jubilation over Vice President Harris’s swift rise to become their party’s likely nominee for president, Democratic lawmakers are privately anxious about her prospects of defeating former President Trump, acknowledging that she is largely untested as a candidate and faces serious challenges.
The anxiety, for the most part, has been set aside out of a deep sense of relief that President Biden decided to drop his reelection bid. After months of unease over the ...
California Supreme Court rules Uber, Lyft drivers classified as contractors
The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Uber and Lyft drivers are classified as independent contractors instead of employees.
The court ruled in favor of upholding a years-old ballot measure, Proposition 22, ending the legal dispute that could have reshaped California’s gig economy if it was overturned, The New York Times noted in its reporting.
The measure was first passed in 2020, and ride-hailing companies were eager to take the win nationwide. L...
