Making the Power Grid Great Again

1 week ago | heritage.org | Diana Furchtgott-Roth

Yesterday, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the proposed repeal of the Biden-era’s Clean Power Plan 2.0, which ruled that coal-fired and many new natural gas power plants must capture and store over 90% of their carbon emissions by the 2030s—or shut down by 2040. It’s a costly mandate, resting on shaky legal and technical foundations. Americans would be fortunate to have it repealed. President Biden issued his Clean Power Plan 2.0 after the Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia v.
Making Energy Abundance a Reality-Upcoming G-7 Summit Gives U.S., Canada a Unique Opportunity

2 weeks ago | heritage.org | Diana Furchtgott-Roth

With the upcoming G-7 summit set in Alberta—Canada’s energy heartland—President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Carney are uniquely positioned to champion a bold vision: reasserting and securing North American energy dominance. Doing so wouldn’t represent just a win for the United States and Canada. It would create a strategic advantage for their European and Asian allies as well. The G-7 should embrace energy abundance by cooperating and committing to a rapid expansion of energy infrastructure.
Matthew Graves’ Abysmal Legacy As U.S. Attorney for D.C. | The Heritage Foundation

3 weeks ago | heritage.org | Charles Stimson

The legacy of Matt Graves, the former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, is now coming into focus, and it’s not pretty. In April, I reported in these pages that from 2018 to 2022, only 1.7% of people arrested on charges of carrying a pistol without a license in the District were sentenced to prison. Now we have the 2023-2024 data from the District of Columbia Sentencing Commission, which shows that during the last two years of Mr. Graves’ tenure, a meager 3% of adults arrested on charges of carrying a pistol without a license were sentenced to prison.
Corporate Sponsors Are Pulling Back From Pride. Here’s What Shoppers, Parents Need To Know

3 weeks ago | heritage.org | Jonathan Butcher

LGBTQ advocates have long allied themselves with diversity, equity and inclusion groups. Yet DEI’s legal troubles are causing some corporate sponsors to end their support for Pride activities. Soon, Pride advocates may have legal problems of their own. That’s bad for Pride organizers, but it’s good for parents because rulings could spell out protections for parents and children from explicit sexual material in schools.
SCOTUS 101: The End of the Term

4 weeks ago | heritage.org | GianCarlo Canaparo

We've reached the end of the term after a blockbuster month and an incredibly full week of orders and opinions. Your hosts wish farewell to Justice Breyer who is now officially retired and welcome Justice Ketanji Jackson. This week the Court decided all of its remaining cases including West Virginia v. EPA, a challenge to a power grab by the Environmental Protection Agency, Biden v. Texas, a challenge to Biden's attempt to cancel the Remain-in-Mexico policy, and Kennedy v.
A Test Fit for America’s Finest Schools

1 month ago | heritage.org | Jonathan Butcher

“Merit” is making a comeback in higher education. Next stop: U.S. service academies. College officials around the country—including those at some of the most selective (and notoriously left-leaning) schools—have admitted a student’s high school grades and often-obscure extracurricular activities aren’t enough for making admissions decisions.
Why D.C. Remains One of the Nation’s Most Dangerous Cities | The Heritage Foundation

1 month ago | heritage.org | Charles Stimson

Once in a blue moon, you run across a statistic or record that is mind-boggling. Some are amazing, like Alex Ovechkin’s 895 goals or Serena Williams’ 23 Grand Slam singles titles. But others are disturbing, like the fact that in Washington, D.C., between 2018 and 2022, only 1.7% of people arrested for carrying a pistol without a license were sentenced to prison. This dismal record comes from the District of Columbia Sentencing Commission, which analyzed arrest and sentencing trends in the District’s Superior Court for carrying a pistol without a license.
Biden’s Border Legacy: A Financial Burden That Will Last for Years

1 month ago | heritage.org | Simon Hankinson

We’ve all been there: you go out with friends, have a great time… then they leave you stuck with the bill. After four years of reckless, ruinous and arguably illegal Biden administration policies, America will be stuck with a massive border bar tab for years to come.
Why We Can’t Quit Racial Redistricting

1 month ago | heritage.org | GianCarlo Canaparo

The Supreme Court enjoys creating catch-22 scenarios. It has generated numerous instances. For example, it holds that the Free Exercise Clause forbids anti-religious discrimination, but also holds that the Establishment Clause sometimes requires anti-religious discrimination. It says that the Civil Rights Act prohibits race discrimination, but it created the disparate impact theory of liability, which sometimes requires race discrimination.
Labor Department Admits Hundreds of Thousands of Biden Jobs Were Fake

1 month ago | heritage.org | EJ Antoni

The Biden administration claimed to have added almost 400,000 jobs from July through September of last year, but new data released this week suggest none of those jobs ever existed. Despite constantly gaslighting by the mainstream media, Americans knew the economy was in poor shape and these latest numbers prove it.
