Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Watch our LIVE Sunshine Week Panel with transparency experts to discuss cutting-edge issues related to the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and state open-records laws. youtube.com/watch?v=jW7_Xh…

@AFPMichigan & @AFPfoundation filed regulatory comments on @MichiganHHS certificate of need (CON) Review Standards for 6 services: hospital beds, cardiac cath, MRT, open-heart surgery, PET, & surgical services.

@RPMulvey As @RPMulvey writes, “Federal agencies are now more firmly subject to the rule of law. They must operate within clear bounds, and courts must ensure those bounds are respected.”

@RPMulvey Loper Bright restores the judiciary’s role in interpreting laws and empowers Congress to reclaim its constitutional authority. It’s a win for liberty and accountability.

On Constitution Day, @RPMulvey reflects on the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo—a ruling that ended Chevron deference and reaffirmed the separation of powers.

Congress wrote the CHIPS Act. But @SecRaimondo abused its vague language to impose child care mandates, profit-sharing schemes, and stock buyback bans, even when Congress specifically debated and rejected some of them during the legislative process. Now, after Loper Bright, Congress must reclaim its authority from rogue agencies. washingtonreporter.news/p/op-ed-kevin-…

A Rhode Island judge upheld that fishermen must pay costly onboard observers, even after SCOTUS ended Chevron deference. This shows why courts now need to interpret laws, not defer to bureaucrats. Learn why this matters for anyone touched by federal rule-making. afplink.org/3Guq057

For those following #LoperBright (@CauseofActionDC) and #Relentless (@NCLAlegal), the judge in the latter case has issued his opinion on remand, ruling against the fishermen.

Governments shouldn’t misuse copyright law to hide public records. AFPF’s @RPMulvey joined @jimwatersbipps on @ky_voice to explain why transparency matters — and how courts are pushing back.

🚨 @AFPFoundation & @RPMulvey just filed an amicus brief in @slf_liberty’s Stovall v. Jefferson County. Schools shouldn't use copyright law to hide what they are teaching from parents. Transparency matters.

Overregulation can lock out competition and limit opportunity. AFPF submitted input to @TheJusticeDept urging a review of Certificate of Need laws that restrict innovation, especially in health care. Regulations should protect people, not entrenched interests. bit.ly/3HIs9Kz

When VA leaders bypass their own policies to keep veterans from accessing care in the community, it undermines trust—and puts patient outcomes at risk. Transparency and accountability are essential to a system that serves veterans well. bit.ly/438DITs

ICYMI: At the Supreme Court this week, AFP Foundation joined others to highlight a key question: Should families be limited in their public education options based on who operates the school? School choice expands opportunity. This case could shape how broadly that opportunity is available. bit.ly/3Exa8xK

Families are speaking up—and the conversation matters. The case involving St. Isidore raises broader questions about how states approve charter schools and how that process affects access to diverse education options. foxnews.com/politics/bad-p…
