A recent New York Times article stated that young males who provided an important swing vote for Trump in 2024 are discouraged by what Trump has done and not done while in office. But they are nevertheless not particularly inclined to vote Democratic because they don't see the Party as welcoming their view of masculinity and they don't know where they fit in this society.
These young men assume that because the Party supports equality for women in the workplace and because many young women no longer have marriage and having children at the top of their agenda, the Party would not be a welcoming home for them. They see themselves as striving for the masculinity of their fathers' or grandfathers' day, where the man was the breadwinner in the family and had respect and authority. Not the weaker half in relationships with women.

As the Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, disaster response organizations across the country are preparing for the next storm. That preparation includes coordinating logistics, purchasing supplies, training volunteers, and strengthening partnerships. It now also requires planning for an environment shaped by misinformation, distrust, and competing narratives. 
A recent 60 Minutes segment examining extremist groups in disaster zones highlighted how quickly public perceptions can form after a disaster. Recovery efforts are now followed by outside groups and online networks attempting to influence how events are understood while communities are still in crisis.

        The USMNT’s World Cup Win Is a Reminder of the America We Still Can Be

LOS ANGELES, CA — The United States Men’s National Team opened its 2026 World Cup campaign with a commanding 4–1 victory over Paraguay, a performance that electrified fans across the country and reminded us — if only for a night — of the power of coming together. Folarin Balogun, and Gio Reyna delivered the goals, but the real story was the team itself: a roster whose roots stretch across Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe. The USMNT is more than a soccer team. It is a living portrait of the multicultural nation we are, and the nation we still aspire to be.
That matters now more than ever. We are living through one of the most politically polarized moments in modern American history. The Trump administration has been widely criticized by civil rights groups and international organizations for policies that restrict entry into the United States for certain foreign nationals — policies that have even affected fans and FIFA referees attempting to enter the country for the World Cup. When a global celebration of unity is taking place on our soil, it is painful to see barriers erected that keep some of the world’s people out.

Around 600 leaders from across the country gathered in Seattle for the Building Together 2026 conference.

        8 Keys to Working Across Differences

Recently, close to 600 leaders from across the country — representing some of the nation’s largest grant makers, community foundations, and grassroots groups — gathered in Seattle. They joined forces to strategize on how to do the difficult work of bringing Americans together in an era of intense polarization that threatens to pull us apart.
The charitable sector has always played this role in American life, fueled by the belief that the country’s diversity of identities, priorities, and worldviews is a resource, not an obstacle. It mobilizes people from all walks of life when floods, wildfires, and other crises strike. It builds powerful coalitions for the common good, whether for a local park, job creation, or new affordable housing. And it connects people across seemingly insurmountable divides born of our differences in politics, class, race, faith, and more.
