A lot of words to say he hates the Fourth Amendment.

Get a warrant!

Earlier today, I filed a motion and memo of law in support of my clients' effort to have Virginia's so-called "assault weapons" ban & so-called "large capacity magazine" ban held unconstitutional under Art. I, Sec. 13 of Virginia's Constitution (not the 2nd Amendment).

A vehicle Kill Switch is a complete betrayal of liberty.

It can never be accepted.

Congress must Kill the Kill Switch before it goes into effect in 2027.

@VIRNow @IMSA @Michelin_Sport Right about here.

[Libertarian Party of New York @lpnyofficial]

In a recent speech, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated the following:

“When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves.”

We ask @NYCMayor the following:

1. Who exactly gets to define “negligent” or “chronic neglect”? Will it be objective standards, or a broad, subjective catch-all that punishes landlords strangled by rent controls, taxes, and regulations?

2. What due process protections will private property owners receive before the city seizes their assets? Or is this just another shortcut around constitutional property rights?

3. If government regulations and rent controls are the primary drivers of disrepair in the first place, how does confiscating property from owners fix the problem instead of making it worse?

4. When you transfer buildings to “community land trusts,” nonprofits, or tenants, who becomes liable for maintenance, taxes, and lawsuits when those new “stewards” inevitably fail?

5. If aggressive seizures become policy, why would any rational investor ever build or maintain housing in New York again?

[Free Talk Live @FreeTalkLive]

The absolute tyranny of property taxes.

The core conceit is that you do not actually own your property. The government owns it and they are leasing it back to you under permanent threat of confiscation.

Thomas Massie is actually trying to drain the swamp.

Trump's trying to make it into a protected wetlands.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

DOGE found the waste, but Big Spenders in both parties put it right back in.

Zero of it became law. Zero. The debt is still climbing, interest payments are approaching $2 trillion a year, and both parties are to blame.

Hey Virginia Beach residents, Project Hummingbird is a data center they're trying to sneak in behind your back. That's why they're discussing it in a closed session. Speak loudly now or forever hold your peace.

Once the paper is signed the Sunken Cost Fallacy will be in effect.

Imagine paying for your home for years, only to be told the land underneath it was never yours.

Seniors at Marin Valley Mobile Country Club in Novato, CA are now at risk of losing their housing security after the city claims ownership of the land they believed they were working toward owning for years.

Many residents are elderly, living on fixed incomes, and have few options if displaced. The residents paid to maintain this community themselves, not the city.

YATP Operations Director Ryan Ralston spoke before the Novato City Council to stand with these seniors and support their fight for resident-controlled ownership and long-term stability

[Spike Cohen @RealSpikeCohen]

@TweetNovato When do you plan to recognize the senior citizens whose land you're trying to take after they just spent 30 years paying off the loan?
