About Us

The United States is a great nation. But, it could be better. At the Third Rail Blog (“the 3rd” for short), our goal is to advocate for that improvement.

We’re not selling anything… you can’t even buy a “3rd” t-shirt. We won’t try to advertise to you (other than trying to sell our ideas), and nobody’s running for anything. Indeed, our writers are anonymous volunteers who have the ability to examine complicated subjects and make them simple.

Our problems are complicated, so let’s take the time and actually think about the solutions.
