The Imaginative Conservative: Time to Retire the Term "Progressive"?
The use of the term "progressive" in politics has a long history, but its meaning has evolved over time. In the early 20th century, both Republicans and Democrats had progressive wings, with figures like Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson leading the charge. However, the term "progressive" has now become synonymous with the Democratic party, as they have successfully marketed themselves as the party of progress. The Republican party, on the other hand, has shifted towards conservatism and libertarianism, leaving no room for self-described progressives. The author argues that anyone, regardless of political affiliation, can be a progressive as long as they have clear and defined goals for progress. Therefore, the term should either be abandoned or applied universally.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that the state will invest in three offshore wind projects as part of its transition to renewable energy sources.

The state will negotiate final contracts with the three offshore wind projects, which are expected to be operational by 2030.
