DC Pregnancy Center Vandalized: ‘Jane Says Revenge’ <[link removed]>
– The Capitol Hill Crisis Pregnancy Center, located just blocks away from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., was vandalized sometime between late Thursday night and Friday morning. The center’s front door was splattered with red paint and the words “Jane Says Revenge” were spray-painted on the side of the building. Heritage Expert: Douglas Blair <[link removed]>
Raising Red Flags on Federal Red Flag Gun
Laws <[link removed]> - While, theoretically, such laws could provide a valuable and constitutional tool to combat certain types of gun violence, none of the ones currently in existence at the state level
adequately address the very real concerns that come with depriving people of a fundamental right. The federal government’s limited forays into this space, such as the Justice Department’s model red flag bill, have also fallen abysmally short, and create additional constitutional and practical concerns.

Russia’s War on Ukraine: Four Lessons From the First 100
Days <[link removed]> - Sadly, we are probably months away from any resolution of this conflict. More will die, and additional lessons will be learned. Our hearts are with Zelensky and the brave Ukrainians. But it is not too early to start to draw insights that will help guide us in maintaining our own national security.

NATO Southern Flank Matters More Than Ever, But Who
Will Fix It? <[link removed]> - Strengthening NATO’s southern flank is more urgent than ever. No, that’s not where the Russians are fighting. At least, not now. But Russia’s invasions of Ukraine demonstrate that Putin is not afraid to strike wherever he senses opportunity and weakness along the alliance’s blue border.

Ukraine War, Day 100: Raising the Cost for Russia’s
Naval Blockade Can Avert a Prolonged War <[link removed]> - In the meantime, nations should look at ways to alleviate the loss of Ukrainian and Russian grains and fertilizer and pursue diplomatic solutions to allow
Ukrainian shipping of food, while at the same time helping Ukraine raise the cost of Russia’s blockade. As long as Russia can damage Ukraine’s economy by preventing its ability to export many of its agricultural products, Kyiv will face challenges. Raising the costs for Russia is one way to bring the blockade and the war to an earlier end. Heritage Expert: Brent Sadler <[link removed]>
The Fraud that Dare Not Speak its
Name <[link removed]> - D’Souza’s analysis indicates that the 2,000 mules were on average visiting 38 drop boxes, sometimes in the middle of the night, and often inserting multiple ballots. True the Vote obtained four million minutes of video surveillance footage, where it existed, of some of the drop boxes. The documentary is able to show who some of these mules were and what they were doing by coordinating the cellphone tracking data with the time they appeared at a drop box and the video surveillance. D’Souza presents one interview in which an anonymous mule confirms that this sort of coordinated fraud does occur at least in some locations. Heritage Expert: Hans von Spakovsky <[link removed]>
