Red-handed: It’s undeniable: Crime is up across the nation. A new documentary from The Heritage Foundation exposes why American cities are suffering and how radical district attorneys are enabling widespread lawlessness.

• “This documentary tells the full story, through the mouths of the radicals who support the movement, the real prosecutors who protect victims, and victims whose lives were destroyed by the worst social experiment ever unleashed on civil society,” says co-narrator Charles Stimson, senior legal fellow and deputy director of Heritage’s Edwin Meese III Center.

Uninvited: Earlier this month, Young Leaders Program intern Matthew Lee and policy adviser Wilson Beaver broke a story about how the Naval Academy had invited left-wing professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat to speak to midshipmen, and that she planned to use the venue to attack Donald Trump as an “authoritarian.”

• Their story sparked a firestorm, including accusations of election interference. Five days later the Navy announced it was “postponing” the speech.
• That’s not the end of the story. Seventeen House members signed a letter to the school’s superintendent asking why Ben-Ghiat was invited in the first place.

Some Justice Department: Why is the Biden administration trying to stop states from removing aliens from their registration lists?

• “The Justice Department has sued Alabama over its transfer of aliens to ‘inactive status,’” writes Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow in the Meese Center. But the law cited by the DOJ refers only to removing eligible registrants who have changed residency, not to aliens who shouldn’t be voting at all.

Gaslighting: Americans have been told that renewable energy sources are better for the planet and for them. But limited benefits and rising costs in Blue states that pushed "green" energy tell a different story.

• “The growing divergence in electricity rates among U.S. states highlights the critical need for sensible energy policies that put people first,” write senior research fellow Mario Loyola, chief statistician Kevin D. Dayaratna, Ph.D., and research assistant Andrew Weiss in a detailed Backgrounder.

Back to basics: School districts in Wisconsin—and around the country—are violating parents’ fundamental rights.

• “It’s time for parents to fight back against policies in their children’s schools,” write Heritage senior legal fellows Tom Jipping and Sarah Parshall Perry.
• Another solution? Universal education choice.
