A new Kansas law bans public university employees from using “gender ideology” in any communication. What does that mean exactly? We don't know. Employees using words like “boy,” “women,” or “maternity” will now need to stop and think whether their words follow the law.

Without identifying any law alleged to have been broken, the outright creep occupying the Florida Attorney General's Office wants a bar to hand over a list of people who attended a constitutionally protected drag show.

Good morning, early birds! Gov. Kevin Stitt issued an executive order Thursday that directs state agencies to cease all public funding for any individual or organization affiliated with abortion providers.

Calling for the deportation of an American citizen for saying something you don't like is 100000x more un-American than criticizing the government--the right to do so being a foundational principle of our nation. Putz.

It is appalling how little coverage the shootings at the CDC received. A government agency was attacked with over 180 rounds of gunfire and David Rose, a responding police officer, was killed in the line of duty. Vaccine disinformation and hostility against science have

A University of Kentucky law professor was suspended and banned from campus after complaints about his out-of-class speech criticizing Israel, including calls for military action. But University of Kentucky must uphold expressive freedoms across the political spectrum.

College Football has a transfer portal. My office now has an Open Records Portal. No citizen should have to sue their own government to get the records they are entitled to receive. If a government agency in Oklahoma is not giving you the records you request, then file a

My favorite part of this curious cattle case is the other #KayCounty commissioner getting mad Tristan Loveless asked Shane Jones about his indictment in the meeting room AFTER the meeting. "This is the sacred space where we vote on road funding!" (I imagined) nondoc.com/2025/08/13/kay…

FYI: In late June, Tulsa County judge dismissed a 2023 ORA lawsuit against 3 Tulsa council members for exchanging texts among themselves about a 4th member during public meeting. The case drew a lot of media attention at the time. FOIoklahoma oscn.net/dockets/GetCas…

It shouldn't need to be said, but with this FCC it apparently does: The FCC has no business and no right to revoke licenses because it disagrees with how a station covers the news. foxnews.com/media/arizona-…

Last spring, the University of North Texas ordered an indefinite, system-wide “pause” on all drag performances over the perceived “ideology” of drag shows. But this open-ended pause is just a ban in disguise. FIRE and ACLU of Texas urge UNT to lift this restraint on campus expression.

This is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement calling for a federal investigation into a state representative for... saying its agents were, at some point, somewhere in his district and urging them to "remain vigilant."

A Columbus, OH high school reportedly warned students not to speak to the press after a problematic bathroom policy caused long lines, UTIs, and girls menstruating through their clothes. FIRE stepped in—securing a commitment to student speech rights in the Buckeye State.
