A 1990 law meant to protect Native American skeletons and sacred items has spiraled out of control, say anthropologists. Tribes are appropriating and burying non-indigenous items, including a Chinese vase, X-rays, and photographs. Now, the ransacking threatens medical science.

The City of Phoenix is at it again... and so are we.

Phoenix is trying to sell a parcel of downtown land to a private, out-of-state developer at a $3.3 million discount with no real public benefit in return.

That's Illegal, and Goldwater is suing the city to put a stop to it.

Arizona has an incredible opportunity to strike a decisive blow to DEI in higher ed, but it requires one important step from House Speaker @SteveMontenegro and Senate President Warren Petersen @votewarren.

It's time to move on HCR2044.

Big case from the great people at @GoldwaterInst https://t.co/Djp5LNIcOC

[Cactus Politics @cactus_politics]

Big ruling in Arizona’s housing fight.

A judge just struck down the state’s water policy that was blocking new construction in parts of Maricopa County, saying officials did not follow the law.

The University of California, Los Angeles is being sued for refusing to turn over records related to a radical activist it hosted on campus.

The Goldwater Institute sued UCLA Tuesday for not releasing records concerning Lisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia, a self-proclaimed “formerly unhoused, incarcerated poverty scholar, revolutionary journalist [and] lecturer” who is one of the “Activists-in-Residence” the school hosted in 2024.

The program’s stated goal is to “turn the university inside out” by promoting “racial, economic and social justice.”

Gray-Garcia generated controversy when she told first-year medical students at a required lecture on “structural racism” to bow to “mama earth”; called private property a “crapatalist lie”; and led chants of “Free Palestine.”

Taxpayer-funded radicals. Secret records. Months of delay.

The Goldwater Institute is suing @UCLA for hiding public records about its “Activist-in-Residence” program.

Here's what we know - and why we're taking legal action...

[Goldwater Institute @GoldwaterInst]

136,000+ regulations.

That’s what entrepreneurs in South Carolina face before opening a business.

The Small Business Regulatory Freedom Act (H.3021) would change that.

It’s time for reform. https://t.co/KpIvAOSO7k

America turns 250 soon. The question is: are we preparing the next generation to preserve it? 🇺🇸

Goldwater just launched a $300,000 American Civics Initiative to support civics education, teachers, and Arizona students!

A federally appointed, out-of-state monitor selected under the Obama-Biden DOJ has exercised sweeping authority over a local sheriff’s office at taxpayer expense.

ASU forced a professor to take DEI training as a condition of employment.

That's illegal.

📣 Big win for economic freedom!

The Montana Supreme Court ruled that entrepreneurs can challenge a licensing law that lets existing businesses block new competition. That’s a big step for the right to earn a living.

After 6 years, @GoldwaterInst won a victory for economic liberty when the US District Court in Oregon entered a final judgement in favor of two lawyers who argued they shouldn’t be forced to support speech by the state bar that they disapprove of. https://t.co/GDrtqdPTXS

A Maine public school secretly advised a 13-year-old on “gender transitioning”—and deliberately hid it from her mother.

School leaders approved the cover-up.

Now Goldwater is taking the fight for parental rights to the U.S. Supreme Court: https://t.co/XlliPa8bTN
