Good morning  from Washington, where it looks like the Justice Department has avoided tying radical pro-abortion agitators to attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers. Mary Margaret Olohan reports. In a speech closing The Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Leadership Summit, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis outlines a winning strategy against the woke Left. Elizabeth Troutman and Tyler O’Neil report. On the podcast, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, shoots straight about how Congress could force President Biden to secure the border. Plus: a playbook for a conservative president; Chicago abandons law-abiding citizens; an electric-car pipe dream; and that flimsy Trump indictment. On this date in 1980, a military mission authorized by President Jimmy Carter to rescue 52 American hostages in Iran ends in a debacle as a  helicopter collides with a transport plane, killing eight U.S. servicemen.
