The American Mind's Breakout Year

TAM has become Washington's must-read publication

Dear John,

The White House reads us.

Cabinet officials and their teams cite us.

Our writers bring insider access and deliver the serious analysis that matters where decisions are made.

The ideas we publish have shaped the conversations inside the administration and throughout Washington—informing both policy debates and the intellectual direction of this new American moment.

BREAKOUT PIECES FROM 2025

In a year when ideas mattered again, TAM became the platform senior leaders chose to speak seriously about the future of the country. Just a few of the essays that broke through this year:

- Vice President JD Vance – American Statesmanship for the Golden Age ([link removed] )
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio – Charlie’s Mission, Our Mission ([link removed] )
- Senator Eric Schmitt – Forgotten Americans No More ([link removed] )
- Counselor of the Department of State Mike Needham – Building a New American Century ([link removed] )

These essays did more than generate attention—they demonstrated why leading public officials choose The American Mind as a platform for articulating the ideas shaping America’s future.

A HEADQUARTERS FOR AMERICA’S RISING LEADERS

This year, The American Mind delivered clarity and courage on the most pressing issues facing the country:

- The weaponization of government
- The subversiveness of the DEI regime
- The failures of higher education
- The governing challenges facing the new Administration

TAM has become a headquarters for a rising generation of conservative leaders—writers and officials offering insight, conviction, and actionable ideas.

And we are just getting started.

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026

In 2026 TAM will:

- Expand its reach—including major growth among policymakers, staffers, and serious readers nationwide
- Deepen its influence
- Continue publishing the writers who are shaping the intellectual playbook for the next American century

But this level of influence—credible, timely, and independent—is only possible with the support of readers who believe ideas still govern nations.
