No Border Security, No Funding

• As lawmakers negotiate spending packages, Conservatives must make sure that any funding deal delivers on the promises they made to the American people: to cut spending, secure the border, and end the woke and weaponized misuse of the federal government.
• With the clock ticking toward a government shutdown, Heritage supports the continuing resolution proposal announced by the Freedom Caucus last week because it includes spending cuts AND H.R. 2 — the Secure the Border Act — which would reverse the invasion at our southern border.
• By ignoring the law, refusing to detain and deport illegal aliens, and thwarting any effort to secure the border, Biden has created a historic security crisis that is killing Americans.
• Lawmakers can protect their constituents by passing the Secure the Border Act.

Smithsonian's Planned Latino Museum Is Woke Move Designed to Radicalize US Hispanics

• The growing controversy over the Smithsonian Institute’s planned Latino Museum is making one thing perfectly clear: the once august organization cannot now be trusted to refrain from "decolonizing" history.
• One need only consider that the museum’s 18-member Scholarly Advisory Committee, which is responsible for reviewing all exhibits, is dominated almost completely by woke professors, researchers, and activists whose work focus on advancing culturally Marxist concepts like critical race theory and gender and queer theory.
• Despite the assurances of bipartisanship by Smithsonian leadership, the museum is controlled by woke academic elites who only want to recruit Hispanics into the victimhood Olympics.

United Auto Workers Union Is Singing the Blues Because of the Greens

• After a week on strike, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has now moved to expand their strike to 38 locations in 20 states.
• The nation’s self-proclaimed most pro-union president, Joe Biden, created a climate of inflation and heaped subsidies onto electric vehicles, sending these workers to the picket line.
• This strike not only threatens to further spike prices on major goods, but also pits two traditional left-wing constituencies against one another.
• The UAW is demanding a 35 percent hike in pay and benefits over four years, moderating its initial request for a 45 percent hike. The union is asking for automatic cost-of-living adjustments just as in the 1970s and a four-day rather than a five-day work week.
• The electrification of vehicles is leading not only to shrinking worker incomes but to a fundamental fracturing of the Democratic Party coalition.
