, I'm excited to share the latest from CRC with you:
Who's hurting American democracy? ([link removed]
In her latest book, Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel's reveals the cabal that formed to destroy President Donald Trump, even before he became President. It's quite the combination of ultra-wealthy special interests, influential media, "dark money," and radicals. But in trying to take down Trump, the "Resistance" has undermined the Constitution and respect for democratic institutions. CRC's Hayden Ludwig reviews Resistance (At All Costs) ([link removed]
Which foolish Californian labor law from California threatens the whole nation? ([link removed]
In another episode of "I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help," House Democrats pushing the PRO Act are trying to "protect" gig economy workers from "unsafe working conditions." Of course, it's purely coincidence that Big Labor fears the independence that workers have in the gig economy. CRC's Michael Watson exposes the Act's flaws here ([link removed] a related article, Watson skewers the claims of some conservatives that granting privileges to private-sector unions is a way to fight crony capitalism. Actually, unions are allies of crony capitalists, Watson explains here ([link removed]
Why are "conservatives" calling for big government solutions? ([link removed]
The "eco-Right" may be the biggest threat to the future of the conservative movement. These so-called conservatives support the Left's global warming policies, including big government "solutions." CRC's Hayden Ludwig navigates the bad policy and bad science to examine the eco-Right's conservative roots--and finds them mostly missing--here ([link removed]

Youth Policy Institute ran a plethora of programs to fight poverty in Los Angeles, partially funded by federal grants in the tens of millions of dollars. But in October 2019, the Institute suddenly closed its doors and filed for bankruptcy under a cloud of misappropriated funds and violations of federal lobbying laws. Did its close relationships to the Obama administration and other politicians secure funding that more worthy grant recipients could have used to better effect? CRC's Kristiann Koris explores these questions here ([link removed]
