We sued @CTULocal1 because they refused to follow their own bylaws. 13 months later, the audits are still missing. The House Education & Workforce Committee is now digging too—and we welcome the investigation. Transparency is long overdue, and we'll hold them accountable.

After SCOTUS’s 2018 decision in @markjanusLJC v. AFSCME, public employee, Luis Rigau, resigned from UFCW Local 481. The dues deductions stopped—but only until 2022. The union has collected dues from our client's wages ever since. That's unconstitutional, so we're fighting

If Illinoisans are to have confidence that campaign finance laws will achieve their intended goal of preventing corruption, they MUST be enforced correctly and consistently. https://t.co/ZpMVt4FJOs

The Constitution is clear after Janus: Government cannot take union dues from a public employee w/o affirmative consent. PRIC and UFCW seized wages anyway. We look forward to holding them accountable in court alongside @RightToWork. https://t.co/OxCMFPOH8f

SCOTUS made clear: Title VI and the Constitution do NOT allow the use of racial preferences. Our lawsuit will hold the U. of New Mexico accountable for its discriminatory admissions and remind other schools that these practices are illegal.

Don Harmon violated Illinois campaign finance law. The SBE’s own hearing officer agreed. If the board deadlocks again, we’re stepping in. The courts can decide whether members broke state law or compel them to act. https://t.co/SXGSC1168e

NEW SUBSTACK: Elected officials from top to bottom hate being criticized & too many think they can silence dissent. From local speech rules (like our case in Monroe, NC) to presidential pressure on social platforms, the threat to free speech is real. Ryan Morrison breaks down

A Virginia public school hosted a political rally for Abigail Spanberger—for free. They NOW claim they didn't know it was a campaign event. But emails show the district coordinated directly with the campaign staff. This misuse of public assets is illegal and should be
