A confluence of events in recent months, culminating in Sen. Joe Manchin’s late December announcement vetoing President Biden’s Build Back Bankrupt initiative, brings to mind a phrase most famously uttered by British politician Norman Lamont. In resigning from government in 1993, Lamont said his Conservative Party gave “the impression of being in office but not in power.” That malady currently…

On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in cases challenging President Joe Biden’s controversial Covid-19 vaccine mandates for private employers and some health care workers.

In September 2021, President Joe Biden directed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to order employers to implement a vaccination mandate regimen for every business with 100 or more employees, with narrowly limited exemptions. OSHA issued an Emergency Temporary Standard two months later. Numerous states, employers, and organizations (including the Heritage Foundation, where I work) immediately filed multiple lawsuits,…

While many of the world’s notable superpowers have gone to extreme lengths to mandate COVID shots for their citizens, the East Asian nation of Japan has taken a completely hands-off approach. Rather than force jabs upon the population through vaccine passports, like many Western countries, Japan’s government has allowed such a decision to remain an individual choice. In its guidance…

When I started my car and turned the radio on, the host was halfway through an interview with Jimmy Fallon, discussing a new song he was releasing with Ariana Grande. Fallon detailed the story of how he managed to get Grande and Megan Thee Stallion in studio to record a song he had written, for what I incorrectly assumed was…

When I read this news, it broke my heart: an Afghan mother sold one of her newborn twins, a baby boy, to a childless couple for $104. She had no food for her baby boy or her seven other children. Her husband works as a day laborer, earning only $1 a day. No mother wants to be separated from her child…

Ron DeSantis released his new budget proposal late last week, which includes a request for millions of dollars to remove illegal immigrants from the state. “In yesterday’s budget, I put in $8 million for us to be able to transport people here illegally out of the state of Florida,” DeSantis said during a Friday press conference. “It’s somewhat…

Is Lois Lerner in charge of determining which politicians to audit at the IRS? That’s a relevant question from a recent Washington Post article looking into Joe Biden’s taxes. The Post received confirmation that the Internal Revenue Service declined to audit Biden’s returns from the years before he became president. But separate reporting confirmed that the IRS did audit Donald…

In April 2021, the Brookings Institution publicly confirmed that Special Counsel John Durham had subpoenaed records from the D.C.-based left-wing think tank in December 2020. The friendly reporters at Time magazine framed the subpoena as limited to the decades-old employment record of former Brookings staffer Igor Danchenko. Last week’s indictment of Danchenko, however, provides a perfect reminder that Brookings was…

An at-home COVID-19 testing kit that the Biden administration spent $231.8 million to produce was just recalled, due to “higher-than-acceptable false positive test results,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The 2.2 million faulty kits were manufactured by Australian company Ellume, the company that produced the first over-the-counter antigen test. It was granted emergency authorization use on December…

The latest prong of the Biden administration’s open borders strategy is its negotiations to give away hundreds of millions of dollars to illegal aliens. The Wall Street Journal reported on October 28 that the administration is negotiating to pay criminal illegal entrants as much as $450,000 per person, and up to almost $1,000,000 per family.

The Biden administration debuted its radical gender agenda last week but the national strategy deemed a step towards “equity and equality” by the White House actually starts with eliminating protections for women. The White House touts proposals and legislation such as the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as a win for women but its language about “gender equality” masks a much…

Twelve months after Joe Biden claimed at the final presidential debate that “not one single person, private insurance, would lose their insurance under my [health] plan,” Democrats stand on the precipice of turning Biden’s statement into a reprise of Barack Obama’s “If you like your plan, you can keep it” Lie of The Year. The effort could cost millions of…

Like President Biden, who said in December 2020, “I don’t think it should be mandatory, I wouldn’t demand it be mandatory,” I was opposed to COVID-19 vaccine mandates from the start. Unlike President Biden, I haven’t flip-flopped. In fact, my opposition to mandates is growing stronger with each new anecdote and piece of information that shows not only how futile…

In recent weeks, the Biden administration has begun asserting that the spending bill independent experts believe could cost $5.5 trillion over a decade will actually cost “zero.” Putting aside the way these patronizing assertions insult voters’ intelligence, does the kernel of the Biden claim—that the Democratic reconciliation proposals will be fully paid-for—stand up to scrutiny? In a word, hardly. Multiple…

President Joe Biden’s administration reversed former President Donald Trump’s ban on taxpayer-funded abortions this week. “Our nation’s family planning clinics play a critical role in delivering health care, and today more than ever, we are making clear that access to quality family planning care includes accurate information and referrals — based on a patient’s needs and direction,” Health and Human…
