Italian American Heritage Month: E. J. Antoni
Antoni built a career at the intersection of economics research and policy advocacy. He worked as an economist at Texas Public Policy Foundation, then joined The Heritage Foundation, where he serves as Chief Economist and the Richard Aster Fellow in the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget. His research focus has included fiscal and monetary policy as well as labour-market statistics.
In August 2025, then-President Donald Trump nominated Antoni to become Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), following the abrupt departure of his predecessor. The nomination spurred debate among economists about data integrity and partisanship in federal statistical agencies.
Antoni is known for his media presence and frequent commentary on economic policy. He appears on major outlets and uses his think-tank platform to raise questions about government spending, inflation data, and labour statistics. His approach is aligned with conservative economic policy advocacy, emphasizing transparent and accountable data as the basis for policymaking.

Italian American Heritage Month: WWII Warriors
During World War II, Italian-Americans demonstrated unparalleled patriotism by enlisting in the U.S. military. Estimates suggest that between 750,000 and 1.5 million individuals of Italian descent served, comprising approximately 10% of the total U.S. armed forces.
This remarkable participation rate made Italian-Americans the largest ethnic group to serve in the military during the war. Their commitment was not just a testament to their loyalty to the United States but also a reflection of their deep-seated values of family, community, and resilience.
Among these brave individuals, 14 Italian-Americans received the Medal of Honor for their extraordinary acts of valor. Notable figures include Gunnery Sgt. John Basilone, who earned both the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross for his heroism in the Pacific, and Col. Henry Mucci, who led the daring rescue of 511 prisoners from the Bataan Death March.
Their stories are a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by Italian-Americans in defense of freedom and democracy. We honor their legacy and the enduring spirit of service that continues to inspire future generations.

An Important Announcement From President Trump!
@realDonaldTrump
The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years. Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Italian American Heritage Month: Bonnie Tiburzi
Bonnie Tiburzi is a trailblazing aviator whose remarkable career broke barriers for women in aviation and became a source of pride within the Italian American community. Born Bonnie Tiburzi Caputo, she made history in 1973 when, at just 24 years old, she became the first female pilot hired by a major U.S. airline—American Airlines. This groundbreaking achievement not only shattered gender barriers in a male-dominated industry but also inspired generations of women to pursue careers in aviation and aerospace.
Raised in a family deeply rooted in its Italian heritage, Tiburzi credits her parents and grandparents—descendants of Italian immigrants—for instilling in her the values of hard work, courage, and perseverance. Growing up surrounded by the warmth and resilience of her Italian American family, she learned early the importance of determination and pride in one’s identity—qualities that served her well as she navigated the challenges of becoming a pioneer in commercial aviation.
Beyond her role in the cockpit, Tiburzi became a powerful advocate for women in aviation, speaking widely about equality and opportunity. She has received numerous honors for her contributions to aviation history and women’s advancement, and she continues to serve as a mentor and role model. Her story—one of ambition, skill, and heritage—reflects not only her own extraordinary accomplishments but also the enduring spirit of Italian Americans who have helped shape the nation through determination and excellence.

Italian American Heritage Month: Matilda Raffa Cuomo
From an early age, she learned the importance of family solidarity and the dignity of helping others, hallmarks of her Italian heritage. These principles guided her throughout her life — from her early work as a teacher to her role as New York’s First Lady from 1983 to 1994, during the tenure of her husband, Governor Mario Cuomo.
As First Lady, Matilda became a powerful voice for mentoring and education, founding Mentoring USA, a program inspired by her belief in the Italian American tradition of nurturing the next generation through guidance and example. Her work expanded internationally, reflecting her conviction that the close-knit sense of responsibility she learned from her immigrant family was a universal value.
Matilda Cuomo often spoke with pride about her Italian roots, emphasizing how her parents’ sacrifices and cultural traditions instilled in her an unshakable sense of purpose and identity. She celebrated Italian American achievements and worked tirelessly to counter stereotypes, promoting a vision of her heritage as one defined by integrity, family devotion, and civic duty.
Now 94 years old, throughout her long life, Matilda Raffa Cuomo has embodied the virtues of her ancestry — strength, warmth, faith, and perseverance. Whether advocating for children, supporting her husband and sons in public life, or cherishing her extended family, she has stood as a shining example of Italian American pride and the enduring power of heritage to inspire service and leadership.

Italian American Heritage Month: Jack Ciattarelli
Born on December 12, 1961, in Somerville, New Jersey, and raised in nearby Raritan, Ciattarelli is the grandson of Italian immigrants who came to America seeking opportunity and a better life. Like another famous Italian American, Stanley Tucci, Jack is Italian "on both sides". His grandparents' and parents' story of hard work, faith, and family left a lasting impression on him, shaping both his character and his outlook on public service.
A graduate of Seton Hall University, where he earned both his bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA in finance, Ciattarelli built a successful career in business before turning to public service. He founded and operated several small businesses, experiences that gave him a strong appreciation for entrepreneurship and fiscal responsibility—values he often ties back to his family’s immigrant work ethic.
Ciattarelli served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 2011 to 2018, representing the 16th Legislative District. Known for his pragmatic approach and independent streak, he developed a reputation for straight talk and a willingness to challenge his own party when he felt it necessary. He ran for governor twice, in 2017 and again in 2021, emphasizing themes of accountability, opportunity, and respect for all New Jerseyans.
Throughout his career, Ciattarelli has spoken proudly of his Italian American roots, frequently citing his upbringing in a close-knit Italian family as central to his values of loyalty, service, and hard work. He often references his grandparents’ journey from Italy to New Jersey as a testament to the American Dream—and as a reminder of the cultural and moral foundation that continues to guide his life.
