The federal government's Earth Day 2026 gift to the planet: a highway expansion initiative. No, really. New piece on what that actually means. open.substack.com/pub/tysonlordg…

Trump’s New DEI Contractor Order Doesn’t Just Ban DEI. It Requires Companies to Certify Compliance With a Standard That Doesn’t Legally Exist. open.substack.com/pub/tysonlordg…

The same weekend the Pentagon threatened to blacklist Anthropic as a national security risk, the U.S. military was using Claude to plan the Iran strikes. Same weekend!! New piece on what Congress must do before the next standoff 🧵👇 substack.com/home/post/p-19…

I was quoted in @USATODAY on SNAP food restrictions rolling out across 22 states. For 60 years, USDA denied these exact requests. Nothing in the law changed, only the administration. usatoday.com/story/news/pol… #SNAP #FoodPolicy #MAHA #AdministrativeLaw

"Keep hope alive" was never naive optimism. It was a command. A moral imperative. A refusal to let despair be the final word. We need that same fire today. 🕊️ #JesseJackson #KeepHopeAlive substack.com/profile/111284…

Black women die from asthma at 4x the rate of White men. Black children at 8x the rate. Trump's EPA just stopped calculating the costs & two new policies guarantee it gets worse!! New on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/tysonlordg… #environmentallaw #fossilfuels #asthma

5/ Oklahoma. West Virginia. Arkansas. They all used the same model language. If the Fifth Circuit affirms, those laws face the same vulnerability. Full analysis on my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/tysonlordg…

4/ Here's the kicker: Albright used Texas's own anti-Israel boycott precedent to strike it down. Same "any action" language. Same constitutional flaw. Texas's courts already set the trap.

3/ The vagueness problem was just as fatal. Companies landed on the blacklist for their views, not their conduct. The Comptroller couldn't explain why. That's arbitrary enforcement.

2/ The problem: SB 13 defined boycott so broadly it swept in protected speech — talking about climate risk, associating with sustainability orgs. That's a First Amendment violation.

Texas built the anti-ESG playbook. A federal judge just threw it out. 🧵 1/ Judge Alan Albright — a Trump appointee in the Western District of Texas — permanently blocked SB 13, the 2021 law that blacklisted firms for "boycotting" fossil fuels.

Same day. Same federal agency. Idaho says flour exempts a product from the candy ban. Oklahoma says flour doesn't exempt it. Both go into effect TODAY. Read my latest Substack explaining the SNAP food restriction problem in one grocery item. open.substack.com/pub/tysonlordg…

@shannonrwatts It’s time for him to go!

Waiting it out for two years and hoping Republicans come to their senses is not an effective strategy for a party with a 27 percent approval rating.

@HostageAmerica Someone didn’t actually read Article II and apparently didn’t make it to Article III 🤦🏾‍♂️

Article II of the Constitution vests the power of the Executive in the President. Any implied power of the Judiciary has been taken by itself. Presidential acquiescence to the Judiciary is to cede the Presidency to the Judiciary, effectvely making it President. *Presidential acquiescence to the Judiciary is to nullify an election to an appointed Judiciary. @POTUS @elonmusk @DOGE @SecRubio @SpeakerJohnson @SenTedCruz
