Tuberville is Right to Hold the Line Against the Pentagon’s Taxpayer-Funded Abortions
- The Heritage Foundation is launching a signature drive for civilians and military veterans alike to show their support for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s effort to rescind the Pentagon’s taxpayer-funded abortion policy.
- The Pentagon’s new abortion policy has everything to do with activist politics and nothing to do with Congress’s obligation to raise and maintain armed forces to provide for the common defense.
- Senator Tuberville and a growing number of conservative lawmakers, recognize this policy for what it is: an abusive use of political power.

FBI Had No Basis for Opening Investigation into Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax
- The unclassified report released by Special Counsel John H. Durham on the misbehavior of the FBI in the Crossfire Hurricane operation – the investigation into the Trump-Russia collusion hoax – confirms that the FBI had no basis for even opening an investigation.
- Agency personnel disregarded the careful protocols that are designed to prevent abusive, meritless investigations, particularly politically biased investigations that could affect the outcome of an election.
- Agency personnel treated claims made against the Clinton campaign much more cautiously and favorably than claims made against the Trump campaign.

Attorney General Merrick Garland Should Immediately Reinstate the Department of Justice’s China Initiative
- As demonstrated by the recent arrest of a Chinese spy based in Boston, the Chinese communists also operate on U.S. soil.
- According to one assessment, at least 102 known or suspected Chinese overseas police stations are currently active in 53 countries. The real number is undoubtedly higher.
- In the U.S., stations have been identified in New York City, Los Angeles, Houston and San Francisco, as well as smaller cities in Nebraska and Minnesota.
- As the U.S. inches deeper into a new cold war with China, a crackdown on illegal Chinese police stations operating in the U.S. must be an urgent priority.
