NEW: CfA and @weareoversight sued the Trump administration over a scheme that gives paying subscribers early access to official government announcements posted on Truth Social — for a fee of up to $100,000 a month. https://t.co/e1ZBhNnlwC
BREAKING: A complaint has been filed with the California Bar against White House Press Secretary @KatieZacharia, citing Popular Information’s reporting, for “the Unauthorized Practice of Law and for Holding Herself Out as Entitled to Practice Law.”
“In another era, Congress would be outraged and take immediate action, but since that’s out of the question, a lawsuit offers the only possible remedy. We look forward to discovery so the public can learn exactly which companies are willing to pay up.”—CfA's Michelle Kuppersmith.

The complaint argues this scheme violates the 1st Amendment’s protection of the public’s right to receive government information and to access designated public fora, the 5th Amendment’s guarantees of equal protection and due process, and more. https://t.co/IO93SXZC9Q
NEW: With @Accountable_Org, we sued the Trump admin over its plan to give subscribers early access to government announcements posted on Truth Social—if they pay $100,000/ month to a company where Trump has a $1 billion stake.
This is textbook corruption.

“Evidence suggests AltaMed is spending a fortune to serve the interest of its CEO and his family, rather than focusing its spending on the low-income clients it was created to serve,” said CfA’s Michelle Kuppersmith https://t.co/C6Zyzsocgq
This week, CfA filed a complaint asking the IRS to investigate whether @AltaMedHealthS, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation and Section 501(c)(3) public charity, violated rules prohibiting private inurement and excess benefit transactions. https://t.co/C6Zyzsocgq
If the IRS determines that de la Rocha is using AltaMed for his private inurement, or AltaMed has engaged in excess benefit transactions with de la Rocha or his family, the agency has discretion to impose financial penalties and even revoke AltaMed’s tax-exempt status.
Most states lack an agency responsible for overseeing CPCs, but that doesn’t mean centers aren’t capable of violating the law. If they do, they should be held accountable.
The @NewYorkStateAG told States Newsroom they are investigating CfA’s complaint. https://t.co/AkiiyL7Huh
Anti-abortion "crisis pregnancy centers" often advertise medical services like ultrasound scans to lure in women who are considering their pregnancy options.
@statesnewsroom details how states often fail to provide oversight of these medical services. https://t.co/Xm8Ms3MECA
One registered diagnostic medical sonographer who has volunteered for CPCs for decades expressed worry over what she’s seen in the industry. She said many CPC nurses “have good hearts,” but “don’t know what they don’t know” and often leave ultrasound training “knowing nothing.”
