Possible collusion: Heritage’s Oversight Project exposed emails showing that U.S. Attorney David Weiss (recently appointed special counsel to the Hunter Biden criminal probe) might have “conspired to mislead Congress.” The Federalist broke the story. 

• Emails unearthed by the Oversight Project’s Freedom of Information Act request reveal that the DOJ intervened for Weiss in previous letters to Congress.  
• Attorney General Merrick Garland was “simultaneously running communications from Weiss to [Iowa Sen. Chuck] Grassley through the political controls of Main Justice,” stated Mike Howell, Oversight Project director. “It is a slap in the face.” 
• This suggests that Weiss did not have “ultimate authority” over Hunter’s charges as he claimed, reports the New York Post.

Just say no: President Biden’s $40 billion supplemental spending plan (mostly for the Ukraine war) includes $4 billion for “border security.” But it’s a cynical ploy. 

• “If Republicans want to address the border crisis, they must oppose this radical supplemental request,” write Lora Reis, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center, and RJ Hauman, a visiting advisor. 
• Read their analysis here, and Fox News coverage here.

Breaking: Project 2025 is getting noticed by the left-leaning corporate media, now with a feature piece from the Associated Press. 

• AP describes the “Mandate for Leadership” as “both ambitious and parochial,” “sprinkled with apocalyptic language,” and full of “stark, head-turning proposals.” 
• Project 2025 has been featured in the New York Times, MSNBC, and other outlets. Read AP’s coverage here.

Obscure No More: Administrative law is the big thing in the Supreme Court’s fall term.  

• “These three cases remind us how excessive judicial deference coupled with congressional laziness has created our all-powerful administrative state,” write Heritage legal fellows Jack Fitzhenry and GianCarlo Canaparo. 
• Now, the Court could rein in the bureaucrats.
