Palmetto Promise Institute's founding chairman & longtime REINS Act champion @JimDeMint recently released this open letter to SC legislators drawing attention to the importance of getting regulatory reform done this year. Read below

Billboards on I-77 near Statesville send a clear message. NC has one of the worst nursing shortages in the country — and outdated laws are part of the problem. Let's fix that. NC joins a minority of 12 states that require advanced nurses to maintain an agreement with a supervising physician in order to practice independently despite research that shows that patients in states that don't require CPAs have greater access to health care without any decrease in quality or safety. Let’s let qualified nurses care for patients where they’re needed most. Independent nurses don’t harm patients — they expand care, lower wait times, and help serve rural communities. #ncpol #ncga #ncnurses pacificlegal.org/north-carolina…

Two great roundtables today. First, with @RowanCo_Chamber. Second, with my friends at @JohnLockeNC, @LukeFarleyNC, @GroverNorquist, @donaldbryson, @mitchkokai, @hmniles, and others. Now time to pack for DC for our son's college graduation this weekend!

Department of Justice Rule Restores Equal Protection for All in Civil Rights Enforcement “The prior ‘disparate impact’ regulations encouraged people to file lawsuits challenging racially neutral policies, without evidence of intentional discrimination,” said @AAGDhillon. “Our rejection of this theory will restore true equality under the law by requiring proof of actual discrimination, rather than enforcing race- or sex-based quotas or assumptions.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/departm…

BREAKING: PLF heads back to the Supreme Court to fight Home Equity Theft! A decade ago, the Pung family of Isabella County, Michigan, was hit with an improper property tax bill totaling $2,240. The government foreclosed on the Pungs’ property, confiscating the whole home for a tax that never should have been due. What followed has been a bureaucratic torture chamber that ended with the Pung property being seized and sold out from underneath them. Not only did the Pungs lose their property, but they also lost all the home equity they had built in the years they owned the land and residence. The Pungs deserve payment for what was taken — a $200,000 home minus any “debt.” Mike Pung is now our client at the Supreme Court, where we’ll back up the Pungs’ long-time attorney, Philip Ellison. Winning at the Supreme Court would bring an end to the Pungs’ years-long nightmare. Mike Pung said, “It would mean that a whole bunch of people are going to get some justice.” supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25/2…

@PacificLegal is at @WomenInGovt this week. Come say hello if you’re here!

Learning to find my voice! Grateful to the Ewing School and @PacificLegal for getting me out of my comfort zone and providing this opportunity for growth

Well done! 👏🏻

Great fun (and a bit of nerves) doing a mock interview with @TimBoyumTV at the Spectrum News Studio on healthcare access in North Carolina this weekend through @NC_IOPL! I always appreciate the opportunity to share how certificate of need reform and securing full practice authority improve access to high-quality care (h/t @PacificLegal)

“Today, the Court places a tombstone on Chevron no one can miss.” - Gorsuch, J., concurring, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 144 S. Ct. 2244, 2275 (2024.) Happy Halloween everyone!

Thanks to our panelists Sen. Jim Burgin, Sen. Gale Adcock, Sec. Devdutta Sangvai & Josh Dobson — and to @JohnstonCC & moderator @SarahRudlang — for kicking off the 2025 Hometown Forum Series last night! 👏

ICYMI: Senate Majority Leader @shanemassey was on with @PointRadioSC last week talking about the Small Business Regulatory Freedom Act! This bill will reduce outdated and unnecessary regulatory burdens on small businesses, making it easier for South Carolinians to thrive 🚀 Thank you for your support, Senator Massey - we’re looking forward to the @scsenategop passing H.3021 in January!

Excellent upcoming series on healthcare in our state. Come join the conversation #ncpol #nchealthcare

@jaimiecavanaugh @PacificLegal on how occupational licensing impacts consumers and the ability to earn a living. Thanks to @ryan_j_owens and @fsuigc for hosting!

Two years after our victory in Sackett v. EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers continues to defy the law and trap property owners in regulatory nightmares that the Supreme Court explicitly ended. We're continuing to help property owners fight back against bureaucratic overreach. 🧵

We kicked off the Fall 2025 IOPL Fellows Program this weekend! Grateful for the 18 community leaders who have committed to this journey, and a special thanks to @billywarden , @LorenzoPedro , and @joeytwogloves for their insight, energy, and inspiration in weekend 1.

Joint Statement from the Young Democrats of NC & the NC Young Republicans #ncpol

Grateful to begin the @NC_IOPL Fellows Program this weekend. At a time when leadership is being tested across the country, the ability to both listen across divides and remain grounded in principle is more important than ever. I look forward to learning from and alongside this talented group of fellows in the months ahead. #ncpol

@JortsTheCat This wasn't an endorsement of crime.
