Rubicon Crossed: “For the first time in our nation’s history, a former president has been indicted by the federal government. And not just a former president, but the current front-runner in the race for the Republican presidential nomination,” write John Malcolm, vice president of the Institute for Constitutional Government, and Charles “Cully” Stimson, senior legal fellow.

• They lay out the federal grand jury’s 37-count indictment against Trump, which includes charges of obstruction and lying to investigators, and how it comes amid evidence of the “weaponization” of law enforcement.

Is Reform Possible? Distinguished fellow Steve Bradbury details reforms that political leaders can take to put an end to the abuses of the FBI and the weaponized use of the Justice Department’s investigatory and prosecutorial powers.

Crime & Punishment: Why are crime rates skyrocketing in select cities across the country? If there’s one man to blame, it’s George Soros. 

• In their forthcoming book, Heritage Senior Legal Fellow Charles “Cully” Stimson and Legal Fellow Zack Smith show how rogue prosecutors funded or inspired by the leftist billionaire refuse to prosecute crimes, won't hold criminals accountable, ignore justice for victims, and why minorities bear the brunt of their pro-criminal, anti-victim policies. 

Pre-order: The book is set to be released on June 27. You can pre-order it now on Amazon or directly from the publisher, Post Hill Press. 

EV Madness: A proposed rule by the Environmental Protection Agency would force as many as 67% of new cars to be all-electric within a decade. We call it "Government Grand Theft Auto."

• You can fight back against this unprecedented intrusion by the federal government. Heritage Action for America created a website that makes it easy to file public comments opposing the rule.

Despicable: In a deluded, but not-too-unpredictable move, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) lumped pro-family groups like Moms for Liberty in with groups like the KKK on its hate groups map.  

• Heritage President Kevin Roberts responded with a scathing message, defending the conservative groups, and declaring that “the SPLC’s shameless tactics will not work. We and our brave allies will not cower. We will not yield.” 

Read his statement here.  

Be Prepared: If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative administration.  

• That’s why Heritage created Project 2025’s Presidential Personnel Database. Fill out the questionnaire and upload your résumé if you’d like to be considered for positions.
