‘Last best hope’: Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts officially endorsed the Convention of States, which would, under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, consider amendments that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, and term limits on lawmakers. 

• “We have a limited window of opportunity left to save our Republic. I call on states to pass the Convention of the States resolution, which just might be our last best hope,” Roberts said.   
• The endorsement “not only reaffirms the importance of the grassroots movement but also strengthens our collective dedication to upholding the nation’s founding principles,” the Convention of States Action said in a statement.

We get results: Recently, Jay Greene, Ph.D., a senior research fellow in the Center for Education Policy, alerted Heritage Action for America about a scheduled panel on the Israel-Hamas war at the University of Arkansas packed with Israel-haters. 

• Heritage Action alerted state senators, representatives, and the governor, and got Greene on a political news outlet. 
• The university later “postponed” the event until next spring “due to increased interest.”   

Absurd: Heritage’s Oversight Project uncovered a U.S. Customs and Border Protection memo telling Border Patrol agents not to use “he” or “she” pronouns lest they “misgender” members of the public.  

• The “members of the public” with whom Border Patrol agents most often interact are illegal border crossers. 
• Fox News broke the news. Elon Musk, Charlie Kirk, lawmakers, and a popular conservative account with 1.7 million followers picked up the story.
