Judge orders University of Oregon to pay $191,000 to censored conservative professor
A federal judge ordered the University of Oregon to pay $191,000 to Portland State University professor Bruce Gilley to cover his legal fees in a successful First Amendment challenge to its censorship of Gilley's comment "all men are created equal" in his retweet from UO's diversity, equity and inclusion office Twitter page, according to Gilley's lawyers.
Gilley secured a preliminary injunction last summer that stops UO Equity's account on X, formerly Twitter, from blocking his interactions or "hiding, muting, or deleting" several kinds of his posts to its account. They settled in full this spring after nearly three years in court, with UO changing some policies, but how much UO would have to pay Gilley in legal fees was still hanging. Click here to read more.
Contrary to what one commissioner might think, the Constitution comes before any government official
“To the end it may be a government of laws and not of men.” This ideal comes from the part of the Massachusetts Constitution establishing the state’s separation of powers between its three branches of government. The separation of powers is indispensable to the rule of law.
Whether at the state or federal level, the separation of powers keeps the branches of government at bay and restrains government officials’ exercise of power. And without it, nothing would stop government officials from wielding all three powers of government and rising above accountability.
A recent episode of the Trump administration brought this to light.
In early May, President Trump fired three commissioners of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an independent agency that protects consumers from unsafe products. One of these commissioners is Richard Trumka Jr., who responded by suing the president, arguing Trump doesn’t have the authority to remove him from his position. Click here to read more.

USAID Gave Known Con Man $800M Contract To Do Kamala’s Work On ‘Root Causes Of Migration’
President Joe Biden’s USAID awarded an $800 million contract to a business operating out of a Virginia home even after it formally ruled that its key manager lacked “honesty or integrity” — a reference to the fact that, according to a May 12 guilty plea, he had secured USAID contracts through bribery for a decade.
The contract was for addressing “issues affecting the root causes of irregular migration from Central America to the United States” — the work that Biden assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris, but which she never appeared to address, a Daily Wire investigation found.
The Department of Justice announced that Walter Barnes III, the founder of government contractor Vistant (previously known as PM Consulting Group, or PMCG) and Roderick Watson, a USAID contracting official, pleaded guilty to a bribery scheme in which Barnes and two others conspired to pay Watson $1 million in exchange for $544 million in contracts.

Officers who cover their faces could be charged with misdemeanor under Calif. proposal
SAN FRANCISCO — Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers who cover their faces while conducting official business could face a misdemeanor charge in California under a new proposal announced Monday.
If approved, the bill would require all law enforcement officials to show their faces and be identifiable by their uniform, which should carry their name or other identifier. It would not apply to the National Guard or other troops and it would exempt SWAT teams and officers responding to natural disasters.
State Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat representing San Francisco, and State Sen. Jesse Arreguin, a Democrat representing Berkeley and Oakland, said the proposal seeks to boost transparency and public trust in law enforcement. It also looks to protect against people trying to impersonate law enforcement, they said. Click here to read more.
I can see where that would be a problem. I have heard of people posing as officers wearing masks pulling people from their homes in the middle of the night. Most of these groups are vigilantes on
some mission to rid the world of people they just don't like for whatever reason.
Toss these shisters in a jail cell with hardened criminals and lose the key. Also freeze their assets and sell their homes and cars until all the money is repaid to the Federal Government. If we haven't shut down USAID, it better be damn close to closing it's doors.
