Good morning from  Washington, where President Biden’s push to use the government to register voters gets good reviews from interest groups on the Left. Fred Lucas reports. Florida is implementing major education reforms that protect both teachers and students from union abuses, Tony Kinnett writes. On the podcast, Heritage Foundation border security expert Lora Ries previews what the lifting of Title 42 late tonight will mean for illegal immigration. Plus: Tucker Carlson and the future of cable news; the Senate’s top Democrat appears to coddle criminals in the nation’s capital; and what the latest inflation rate means for Americans.  On this date in 1934, a huge dust storm sends millions of tons of topsoil flying across the Great Plains as far east as New York, Boston, and Atlanta.
