Federal courts at every level have now recognized that these unilateral tariffs, imposed without Congressional authorization, are unlawful and cannot stand. Our statement on the Supreme Court's decision in V.O.S. Selections, Inc. v. Trump @sarawynne @neal_katyal @JeffreyMSchwab

Politicians should never write laws that censor speech. But if they do, is it too much to ask that they not do so for the express purpose of maintaining political power? That's the question at the heart of Moving Oxnard Forward v. Lopez. Should SCOTUS choose not to hear this First Amendment case, the consequences could be dire. LJC's Tim Kilcullen explains: libertyjusticecenter.substack.com/p/is-silencing…

Public schools CANNOT force teachers to speak against their religious convictions or force them to keep parents in the dark about significant decisions involving their children. LJC's PARENTS Initiative has filed a brief in Polk v. MCPS, urging SCOTUS to protect the First Amendment rights of teachers and the constitutional rights of parents. libertyjusticecenter.org/pressrelease/l…

.@burlapandbarrel is one of America's fastest-growing spice companies. Its business depends on importing spices that can't be produced domestically. The company is challenging the administration's unlawful tariffs AGAIN and standing up for other American small businesses. reason.com/2026/07/31/mee…

@pjaicomo @IlyaSomin Great news!!!

A lot government cheerleaders taunted me that it would never happen, but thanks to @IlyaSomin and @LJCenter, I got my money back from the President’s illegal tariffs. Thank you, public-interest freedom fighters and the independent judicial branch!

@reason It's wild that big businesses and industry groups -- the Chamber of Commerce and the like -- haven't stepped up to fight the tariffs. Where would we be without the @LJCenter, which is undefeated against Trump's tariffs. A remarkable underdog story. reason.com/2026/07/31/mee…

The administration cannot take a targeted, country-specific, and practice-specific trade-remedy law and stretch it into a universal power to tax American imports. On behalf of @burlapandbarrel, an American spice company, and Collective Horology, an independent watchmaker, we're challenging the Section 301 tariffs. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…

National teachers' unions are more consumed with ideology, institutional power and political influence than the needs of educators. Thanks to @markjanusljc, there's a solution: Opt out. theblaze.com/columns/opinio…

The administration's attempt to transform Section 301 into authority for a sweeping global tariff regime crosses a constitutional line while harming American businesses and consumers. The executive branch may impose tariffs ONLY within the authority and limits established by Congress.

"Forced labor is a real and complicated problem, but disingenuously dressing tariff revenue recovery in human rights language discredits the tools that might actually address it, setting a precedent for Section 301 to be an all-purpose tariff generator that any future president can invoke for any reason." cato.org/blog/more-sham… @scottlincicome @CatoInstitute

The Constitution does not disappear during a crisis. Americans do not surrender their rights when government officials declare an emergency.

AND we didn't stop there. We also: -Defeated the federal Head Start vaccine and mask mandate -Challenged vaccine-passport requirements in Chicago and Cook County -Defended workers threatened by the federal-contractor vaccine mandate -Struck down California’s AB 2098, which punished doctors for COVID-related advice that departed from the government’s preferred view

Fauci's testimony has renewed serious questions about the government’s response to COVID-19—what officials knew, what they told the public and how much power they claimed during the emergency. When Biden attempted to impose a vaccine-or-testing mandate on more than 80M private-sector workers, we acted immediately.🧵

Our challenge to the unlawful Section 301 tariffs isn't about the president—it's about the presidency and how that power could be used by future administrations. libertyjusticecenter.org/cases/burlap-a…

New on Substack: My take on Tariff Week 2026. (Actual analysis if you click the link in the replies).

Too many students are trapped in a failing system, while teachers' unions prioritize politics over student outcomes. When a school spends $93k per student, yet not a single 11th grader is proficient in reading or math and 100% of 12th graders are chronically absent, the system isn't serving students or taxpayers—it's serving unions. libertyjusticecenter.substack.com/p/douglass-v-t… @markjanusLJC

@Suntimes CPS teachers shot down five furlough days in the budget. The irony? Five days of the average teacher’s pay is roughly equal to annual union dues. Want a five-day raise? Leave the union. libertyjusticecenter.org/about/the-janu…

Chicago Public Schools had planned to furlough staff for five days to save money in the upcoming school year. After facing pushback from staff unions and members of the public, the district nixed the idea. chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-school…

"The president’s own words indicate that these tariffs are simply another, more cumbersome way of achieving the same result after the Supreme Court ruled against him." - LJC Chairman and CEO @sarawynne cnbc.com/2026/07/28/tru…
