BREAKING: The Supreme Court will hear our case challenging admissions policies aimed at racial balancing that discriminate against Asian students for selective middle school magnet programs in Maryland. This will be Pacific Legal’s 22nd time before the Court.

Great testimony by @jaimiecavanaugh before an Oklahoma interim committee on how @PacificLegal's Golden Girls Act (abolishing arbitrary occupancy limits based on relatedness) can increase housing supply, save people money, and even address the loneliness epidemic. #coliving

VICTORY! When Ralph and Suzanne announced plans to build affordable housing on their land, the Mayor of Johnston, RI announced he would “use all the power of government” to stop it.
Today, a federal court struck down the town’s attempt to seize a family's land.

BREAKING: South Carolina bans tattoo studios within 1,000 feet of any church, school, or playground — a rule so broad it wipes out most of the state. And the state criminalized tattooing anyone’s head, face, or neck. We're challenging these on First Amendment grounds.
I am joining a panel at 2026 National Settlement Services Summit (NS3) on From FinCEN to Tax Foreclosure Sales: Property Rights and the Courts. Hoping for a great turnout! @TheSummit_NS3 #NS32026 - via #Whova event app

BREAKING: The California Supreme Court just unanimously ruled that the California Coastal Commission unlawfully overrode a county-approved building permit — one of the most significant checks on the Commission's power in the 40 years since Nollan v. CCC.

BREAKING: Hawaii took Don Williams' property through eminent domain for $3 million less than it was worth. Then, the State lowered its offer, claiming Don now owes them 1.5 million. After a 13-year legal battle, a trial court agreed that Hawaii owed $7 million for his land.

HB819, sponsored by @JohnnyGarrett, cuts red tape and expands healthcare access for families across Tennessee, especially in rural counties.
This is what conservative leadership looks like, and I urge you to join me in supporting this commonsense legislation. #StoptheCON

DHS agents in MN swerved in front of an unarmed woman who was recording them, once again WALK IN FRONT OF A CAR with guns drawn. The only thing they've learned from Renee Good is how to get away with killing people. A local cop intervened to stop the illegal arrest!

“Imagine if we had to get a warrant every time we wanted to search a home. We don’t have enough judges. We don’t have enough time. The people demanding that we follow the Fourth Amendment must just not care about catching criminals.”

Yeah, these Epstein drops are bad, but it’s not like he kicked a tail-light or something.

Going to jail for filming ICE raiding your neighbor's home is what FREEDOM, American Eagles, and MAGA is all about.
And we thought Russians were slaves.

Can the FBI just enforce the law without adopting every leftist gun banner talking point?
🚫Carrying a gun = bad intentions.
🚫Loaded guns = bad guns.
🚫Spare magazines = extra bad.
🚫More than 10 rounds = bad.

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...
Arizona, November 2020
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have the right to break the law and incite violence."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There are no laws either federally or in Minnesota about carrying “multiple magazines in a public place not named as restricted by Minnesota’s carry laws.
Patel is simply making things up.

This is completely incorrect on Minnesota law.
There is no prohibition on a permit holder carrying a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines at a protest or rally in Minnesota.
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Under the Second Amendment and MN Stat. 624.714, permit holders may legally carry firearms in public, including during protests. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that public carry is a constitutional right. Carrying a firearm does not legally constitute "inciting violence."
