SCOTUS 101: The End of the Term

1 week 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 week 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.
Biden’s Border Legacy: A Financial Burden That Will Last for Years

2 weeks 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

2 weeks 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

2 weeks 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.
Beijing Biden’s Energy Policies Will Lose the New Cold War

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

Like it or not, America is locked in a new Cold War. Our foe this time around is Beijing. A new report by the Heritage Foundation, Winning the Cold War: A Plan for Countering China, describes what it will take to prevail in this conflict. One of the first things to do: Stop shooting ourselves in the foot. A good place to start is with environmental policies. Our current policies make China stronger and America weaker.
Blame Washington, Not Putin, for Rising Prices

3 weeks ago | heritage.org | EJ Antoni

How out of control is inflation? One measure says it all: Prices are now rising as fast in one month as they used to rise in a whole year when President Joe Biden took office. The measure of inflation that gets the most attention is the consumer price index (CPI), which estimates the prices consumers are paying for a typical combination of goods and services. The CPI rose 8.5 percent in the 12 months from March 2021 to March of this year—the fastest increase in four decades.
This Is How Donald Trump Can Terminate Tariff Turmoil

4 weeks ago | heritage.org | EJ Antoni

This past April has been one of the most volatile months in stock market history, thanks to the Trump administration’s botched rollout of its so-called reciprocal tariff rates. However, this tariff threat has at least succeeded in bringing other nations to the negotiating table—and now, the best way to restore calm is by letting Trump do what he does best: negotiate.
When It Comes to ID, It’s Time To Get Real

1 month ago | heritage.org | Simon Hankinson

Congress passed the REAL ID Act in 2005, a few years after the 9/11 attacks. The subsequent 9/11 Commission Report revealed many weaknesses in our national security, including the fact that hijackers Khalid Al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Al-Hazmi got California drivers’ licenses through a facilitator in San Diego. They probably used those to board the American Airlines plane they crashed into the Pentagon, killing 189 people.
Economic Growth Hiding in Plain Sight

1 month ago | heritage.org | EJ Antoni

This week, much of the mainstream media ran with the headline that the economy contracted in the first quarter of this year. Predictably, they promptly blamed President Donald Trump. But a quick glance under the hood shows the data points to a much stronger economy than the headlines suggest. On Wednesday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its estimate of economic growth measured by gross domestic product (GDP) for January through March.
