Biden Bails Out The Rich And The Reckless <[link removed]> - Just a
few days ago, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) became the second-largest bank failure in American history. This was followed shortly by Signature Bank — now the third largest bank failure — with possibly more to come. While these banks have been reckless, government intervention set the stage for this disaster and threatens to compound it with bailouts.

The Biden administration demands that TikTok be sold, or risk a nationwide ban <[link removed]> -“ByteDance's purported backup plan of divesting from TikTok is nothing more than a distraction
intended to derail the growing momentum towards a nationwide ban on the application. Since President Trump's attempt to ban TikTok in 2020, the company has persistently misled the American people and our lawmakers regarding its business practices, all to ensure their continued presence in the United States. This is more of the same from the China-based company. Our lawmakers should disregard the attempts of TikTok’s lobbyists to further delay what needs to be done. A nationwide ban on the application is the only viable option.” Heritage Expert: Jake Denton <[link removed]>
How Congress can help open up America’s healthcare markets <[link removed]> - Highly concentrated healthcare markets, regions where a relatively small number of big insurers and giant hospital
systems dominate, are now the norm. This lack of competition leaves patients with fewer choices for medical services, higher costs, and lower quality. Heritage Expert: Bob Moffit <[link removed]>
Six strategies to curb violent crime <[[ttps://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/mar/15/six-strategies-curb-violent-crime/]]> - Far too many of the people tasked with formulating good public policy on violent crime fail to understand violent crime. As a result, they end up pushing for laws that are ill-designed to address actual problems and that, even worse, sometimes exacerbate them. Heritage Expert: Amy Swearer <[link removed]>
Trump-allied group trained congressional staff on how to go after Biden <[link removed]> - The two-day event, which took place on Maryland’s Eastern shore, illustrates how Trump-allied activists are quietly shaping
House Republicans’ investigations of the Biden administration right as Trump himself mounts another White House bid. Topics discussed at the bootcamp included tutorials on obtaining records and deposing and interviewing witnesses, according to a flier in the filings. Among those who briefed the congressional aides was a former Trump administration official, an energy lobbyist <[link removed]> and a reporter from Epoch Times, a nonprofit media company <[link removed]> tied to the Falun Gong Chinese spiritual community and known for its conspiratorial <[link removed]>, pro-Trump views.
