Why do we have government? -->To secure fundamental rights. That's it. How does government do that? -->By making, enforcing, and consistently interpreting clear laws tailored to that purpose, and defending national security. That's it.

Huh? They must have left off the word “support,” or “sentences,” or “cereal.”

More details on the @GoldwaterInst's favorable ruling for transparency today from the Arizona Supreme Court! The unanimous decision makes clear that the government cannot withhold public records for "de minimis, vague, or purely speculative" reasons, and that all Arizona courts must meaningfully scrutinze nondisclosure when reviewing public records cases.

Government officials can't keep taxpayers in the dark just because it's more convenient. Today, the Arizona Supreme Court unanimously ruled for the Goldwater Institute, reaffirming that Arizona's public records laws carry a strong presumption of transparency—not secrecy. It's a major win for open government.

This is not just about "child labor" that's borne out of family necessity. There is active child trafficking and child slavery. I know because I once worked with a man who escaped a cacao plantation in the Ivory Coast as a child. It's also been documented for years, with almost no industry movement. youtu.be/7Vfbv6hNeng?is…

@byuhawaii Sadly, it seems child slavery is still alive and well in certain parts of the world, particularly in the chocolate industry. @MrBeast is right to call attention to it. We must all stand for liberty and human dignity throughout the world, and appreciate the freedoms we do have.

As an undergrad @byuhawaii, I studied and worked alongside Sery Kone, who escaped child slavery and made a better life for himself. He founded a nonprofit called Well Africa that seeks to end the legacy of child trafficking and labor in the Ivory Coast. wellafrica.org/about-our-foun…
