• “Chairman Steil Introduces the Voter ID Act” By The Committee on House Administration: Congressman Bryan Steil has moved to implement something that most developed nations have been using for decades: voter ID. This common-sense policy has been successful in virtually every country that has it. In Europe, western democracies use voter ID to ensure that elections are as safe as possible. In these countries, voters can use simple documents, such as a driver’s license or a passport, to prove their identity before they cast their ballot. Despite arguments from liberal naysayers, voter ID laws do not dampen turnout in nations such as France or the United Kingdom. Rep. Steil’s legislation does three things: requires an ID to participate in federal elections, creates a grant to reimburse states for providing free IDs, and allows provisional ballots to be cast if a voter accidentally leaves behind their ID. Each of these objectives are widespread throughout the world. Why should the U.S. be left behind?

• The American Revolution of 1800: How Jefferson Rescued Democracy from Tyranny and Faction—and What This Means Today By Thom Hartmann argues that the American elections of 1800 was a defining moment that reshaped American history and ensured the survival of America’s democratic system into the present day. Compared to 1776, 1800 proved to the world that peaceful transfers of power were possible in non-monarchial systems. Hartmann investigates the divide between the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, the crisis of Washington’s succession, and the crucial role Thomas Jefferson played in the process. The book showcases how this election defined the role of political parties, drawing lessons on the danger of polarization, attacks on civil liberties, the importance of respecting election outcomes, and the need to prioritize common principles over partisan gain. He suggests that modern democracy needs restraint, legitimate opposition, and peaceful transitions of power to survive.

• California’s November Surprise: There Isn’t One By John Heubusch: Heubusch argues that despite the well-publicized campaigns of Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt, California’s electoral system all but guarantees a Democratic Party victory. In what he calls “one party rule” in California, Heubusch shows how California prohibits voter identification measures, pushes for mail-in ballots, and created the “Jungle Primary” system that no longer guarantees Republican candidates get a spot in general state elections. For instance, in LA’s mayoral race Spencer Pratt does not meet the threshold for continuing onto the runoff election, forcing Democratic voters to decide between two Democrat candidates. Along with the larger share of registered Democrat voters, he concludes that the races for California Governor and Los Angeles Mayor were long been decided before they even began.

• An Autopsy of the DNC Campaign Autopsy by David Winston: Political strategist David Winston argues that the Democratic National Committee’s post-2024 election “autopsy” fails to answer the most important questions about why Kamala Harris lost. He contends the report overlooks key factors such as inflation, voter shifts among independents, women, and Hispanics, and why Democratic Senate candidates outperformed Harris in critical battleground states. The column challenges Democrats to conduct a more honest assessment if they hope to rebuild and win future elections.

• “Budget Bloat: $5.7 billion deficit prompts prediction of ‘crisis’ in Pennsylvania” by Ford Turner (The Center Square): The deadline to pass a state budget in Pennsylvania is fast approaching, and lawmakers are bracing themselves for a deficit of about $5.7 billion. The political will to reduce that incoming deficit has already evaporated, perhaps as a consequence of last year’s state budget coming 135 days late. However, there are many unanswered questions that must be addressed in the upcoming budget negotiations.

America does not have a healthcare spending problem because of a lack of government involvement. We have a healthcare spending problem because decades of government policies have distorted prices, reduced competition, rewarded consolidation, and disconnected patients from real market forces.

In my recent podcast with Brian Blase of the Paragon Health Institute, we discussed how hospital prices have risen much faster than inflation and wages. Hospital systems now spend enormous amounts lobbying Washington to preserve policies that reward size, bureaucracy, and higher spending rather than efficiency or better patient outcomes.

• “Trump admin seeks health care price transparency” by Andrew Rice (The Center Square):

  Pricing in health care has been deliberately cryptic for the longest time. Insurance companies are reluctant to share their methods for determining the cost of drugs or medical procedures, leaving patients in the dark up until they receive the final bill. President Trump wants to change that.

I truly value our Inner Circle, the conversations, the ideas, and the thoughtful questions you bring each month. It’s both encouraging and enriching to be part of a community so engaged and committed.

This Easter, I’ve been reflecting on my time attending the Easter Vigil at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome while Callista served as Ambassador to the Vatican. Standing there, above the resting place of St. Peter, surrounded by centuries of history, is a powerful reminder of the depth and continuity of the Christian faith.

British parliamentarian Tom Tugendhat recently published a powerful warning titled “Britain’s Hidden War.” His message is simple: Russia is already at war with the West but not in a traditional way.

Through cyberattacks, sabotage, propaganda, and deception, Moscow is waging what it calls “hybrid warfare.” Russian-linked hackers have attacked British hospitals, disrupting surgeries and blood transfusions. These are not acts of espionage, they are acts of sabotage.
