No More Blank Checks to Ukraine
- The Heritage Foundation is adamantly opposed to the $24 billion Ukraine aid package. This support is fiscally irresponsible, lacks transparency and accountability, isn't focused on military aid, and has no plan or end-game attached to it. No more.
- The Ukraine aid also should not be tied to emergency aid for hurricanes and fires. That’s the typical D.C. swamp game of playing hostage with the people’s money.
- We have to take care of our interests at home before spending any more money on Ukraine.
- During last night’s official debate pre-show, The Heritage Foundation debuted a new ad opposing any more funding until Biden presents a direct and immediate path to end the conflict in Ukraine, and Congress comes up with a way to ensure that our aid is responsibly distributed.

The Biden Admin Is Evading SCOTUS’ Affirmative Action Ban
- For Americans hoping the rest of Washington would follow the Supreme Court’s rejection of prejudice, the Education Department has plans to keep racial preferences around.
- The race-based policies Education Secretary Miguel Cardona is supporting make it easier for colleges to exercise racial preferences in hiring and admissions, including by requiring “loyalty oaths” on faculty job applications.
- The Education Department’s new guidance also advocates for offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) on campus, despite the significant evidence that DEI training programs do not change individual attitudes and behavior.
- Families and students everywhere should condemn the department’s persistent support of racism and low standards.

Bidenomics: Nothing to Brag About, Though Biden Keeps Trying
- As the Left-wing bureaucracy continues to suck the oxygen out of the economy, American workers are facing the brunt of Bidenomics head-on in the form of persistent inflation, stagnant wages, and poor job gains.
- The administration’s own data show the average American worker’s wages were effectively reduced over $4.50 an hour last month via the hidden tax of inflation.
- Biden can’t spend a dime without taking it from you first, even if he does it secretly. That’s worth remembering the next time you hear how well Bidenomics is working for the middle class.
