Good morning  from Washington, where the administrative state fancies itself as smarter than individual Americans. With that same attitude, our Katrina Trinko writes, two state governments are fixing to replace parents. Want to know virtually every word Tucker Carlson said to a Heritage Foundation audience as his final Fox News show aired? We’ve got a transcript. And the think tank’s president meant it when he said Carlson can come home, Tyler O’Neil reports. On the podcast, a key congressman isn’t buying excuses for Hunter Biden’s questionable actions. Plus: why work requirements for welfare are so important; the president’s electric-car misstep; and colleges that aren’t going woke. On this date in 1950,  Chuck Cooper, an All-American forward at Duquesne University, breaks the NBA’s color barrier when the Boston Celtics pick him as a draft choice.
