You mean the world to us. Thank you.

Why would I credit this? All of my reporting was independent and I obtained this recording separately from the Beacon.

When I tell you *a lot* went into this story, I mean it.

- Recordings of internal meetings
- Leaked audio from phone calls
- Internal chat logs
- Drafts of secret policy papers
- Interviews with nearly two dozen sources

Thank you for supporting journalism that does this kind of work.

The war inside Heritage has been described to me as the start of the post-Trump civil war within the GOP.

Sources told me it’s not really about antisemitism. And I think that’s true.

But antisemitism animated a lot of how this blew up.

The emphasis on family policy is very evident in Heritage’s policy work.

One draft paper we obtained proposed a “Manhattan Project” for more babies.

A subsequent draft floats giving straight married couples an extra “half vote” in federal elections for each of their children.

Reporting this story, I heard near universal concern from Heritage staff of discrimination against unmarried women.

Then I obtained a letter to the Heritage board from anonymous staffers that alleged the same thing — and more.

Heritage is aware that alleged behavior could create legal trouble.

At a meeting yesterday, staff voiced deep concern about anti-Jewish sentiment at Heritage and on the right.

That was followed by a Heritage staffer complaining about attending a Shabbat dinner.

It is. But most people have no idea how to use it.

I would also grudgingly accept Yamamoto.

Props for doing the original Springsteen lyric rather than The Band.
