This has been an exciting year for Legal Insurrection. In March, we launched the Legal Insurrection Foundation and we haven't slowed down since. In the few months since creating LIF, we have been busy putting together a team to research, investigate and expose anti-capitalist, anti-American, and anti-Zionist activists, groups, and movements, with a focus on the ‘intersectional’ left and red-green alliance.

Well, y'all, it finally happened. Several weeks after talking about how he was able to work with segregationist Senators in the 1970s, and just a couple of weeks after he was dramatically confronted by Sen.

The $11 million compensatory and $33 million punitive damage verdicts won by Gibson's Bakery and its owners against Oberlin College later were reduced to $25 million under Ohio tort reform caps.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a law on Monday morning that allows Congress to access President Donald Trump's state tax returns. From The New York Times:
The bill requires state tax officials to release the president’s state returns for any “specified and legitimate legislative purpose” on the request of the chair of one of three congressional committees: the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation.
