Heritage Foundation declares new Cold War with China: ‘More capable and dangerous’ than Soviet Union - The Heritage Foundation released a report Tuesday that says the U.S. is in a new Cold War with China, and that the U.S. must take several steps to defend itself from China’s economic, military and cultural efforts to supplant American leadership. "Whether politicians and pundits in Washington care to acknowledge it or not, the United States is in a new Cold War with the PRC, an adversary even more capable and dangerous than the Soviet Union was at the height of its power," Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said in a forward to the report.

Florida sets shining example on school choice. Here’s how - Last week, the Florida Senate passed House Bill 1, which expands the state’s groundbreaking education savings account (ESA) policy to all K-12 students "regardless of race, income, background, or zip code," said House Speaker Paul Renner. Until now, only students with special needs were eligible. With an ESA, families can customize their child’s education. They can use ESA funds to pay for private school tuition, tutoring, textbooks, homeschool curriculum, online learning, special-needs therapy, and more. Florida was the second state, after Arizona, to enact an ESA policy. Heritage Expert: Jason Bedrick and Lindsey Burke
Parents are fed up with public schools secretly transitioning children - Parents — once viewed as the natural authority figures in their children’s lives — now find themselves largely spectators: locked out, lied to, and gaslit in a national effort to secretly gender-transition children in public schools behind their parents’ backs. But parents are fighting back. Heritage Experts: Sarah Parshall Perry
The Left will regret opening up the woke Pandora’s box - How all this came about is also instructive. On March 14, a leftist commentator named Briahna Joy Gray interviewed one of the most delightful people working on the conservative side, Bethany Mandel, and asked her at one point to define the term woke. As all of us whose living includes broadcast interviews have done, Mandel at first froze for about 10 seconds. That was it! Like Inspector Clouseau often did, the Left thought it had its smoking gun!

SPLC Lawyer on Federal Court Would ‘Corrupt the Sanctity of Our Judiciary,’ State AG Warns - The top law enforcement officials in 18 states sent U.S. Senate leaders a letter opposing the confirmation of Nancy Abudu, a Southern Poverty Law Center attorney whom President Joe Biden nominated to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. “I believe in an independent judiciary,” Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador, a Republican and one of the letter’s signers, told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement Tuesday. “The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is one of the most important courts in the country. Ms. Abudu’s public comments and relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center fails to display an ability to judge a case independent of her personal political opinions.” Heritage Expert: Tyler O’Neil
‘We Are in a Conflict’ With China, Sen. Marco Rubio Says - Rubio, along with Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., and Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., introduced legislation in December aimed at banning the popular Chinese app TikTok nationwide. Rubio reintroduced the legislation with Sen. Angus King, I-Maine., in February. During Tuesday’s address, Rubio also discussed “three things that we have to focus on”—starting with ourselves. “We have to rebuild our society from the ground up by reminding ourselves of things that matter. No. 1, America is something to be proud of. I won’t go into the long litany of it here today, but this is not just ‘wave the flag, apple pie’ stuff. I think America really has an incredible story to tell,” the Florida senator said. “I think it’s an unrivaled story, and it’s one that we should not be shy about telling, and it’s frankly something that we should not be funding schools that say the opposite.” Heritage Expert: Samantha Renke-Aschieris
