America 250: Black Americans Reflect on Freedom and Trauma

A recent Navigator Research survey found that many Black Americans question whether the nation’s celebration fully recognizes their history or reflects their lived experience.

Why Democrats are running against the ‘Epstein class’

Surveys released this year from Democratic-aligned firm Navigator Research and progressive pollster Data for Progress back that argument up. In both polls, majorities of voters, including a majority of Republicans, believe there hasn’t been enough accountability connected to Epstein’s crimes and want to see more arrests and prosecutions. In a Navigator poll released in March, the share of Americans who said they believed Trump administration officials should resign over the Epstein matter increased when they were informed about officials in other countries being arrested, fired or forced to resign over Epstein ties.
