The Wall Street Journal's editorial board recently tallied the federal agencies that are harassing Elon Musk and his companies for one reason or another. Those efforts, backed by Mr. Musk's opponents in Congress and elsewhere, have already blocked progress on SpaceX's Starship, which could take humans back to the moon and eventually Mars. The Biden administration is using similar strategies to stifle innovation and progress in higher education. As my colleague Beth Akers recently pointed out, student loan servicer MOHELA was tangentially involved in the lawsuit that blocked President Biden's first illegal effort to forgive hundreds of billions of dollars…

Thank you Jason White for boosting my fading hopes that good government conservatives might one day lift Mississippi out of the abyss. If you haven't already read the speaker's April 8 interview with Mississippi Today writers Taylor Vance and Geoff Pender, you should. In it, White, a conservative Republican, reveals his good government conservatism as he explains his rationale for supporting Medicaid expansion. Here are some examples. “My Republican colleagues think it's a smart, common sense, pro-business move,” White said, explaining that the first four years of the expansion would be fully funded with federal funds. “I'll admit this.

Many individual states like New Jersey, Colorado, Massachusetts,…
