Take a hypothetical walk with me about 18 months into the future to November 3, 2026. Americans (well, likely less than half of the eligible voting population) have just voted in a hard-fought midterm election to determine which party will control the House of Representatives. Despite economic uncertainty and the expectation that the incumbent president’s party typically takes a hit in a midterm, the outcome between Democrats and Republicans is still too close to call.

Picture a world where, rather than simply punishing a bigot for discriminating against a couple on the basis of race, the authorities target the local library instead. See, when they did an investigation, the authorities noticed the bigot had checked out a number of books that clearly inspired and informed his actions. As a result, they decided the library must be punished for providing them.

Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Vaccines do not cause autism. There are important biological differences between men and women. These are, to the best of our current knowledge, facts. And it matters whether or not we believe them. It directly affects our democratic process, our health, and our culture. It could determine whether we’d have found ourselves storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Or whether our children are among the growing number currently contracting the measles.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve explored how (despite numerous, contradictory, and ridiculous accusations to the contrary) FIRE has been able to remain non-partisan even in an era punctuated by intense partisanship. I also tried to turn that reflection into advice for others on how they can do the same.

Shuttering the department would likely require congressional action, but efforts to curb its activities have already begun. Published February 18, 2025 Judging from the rhetoric emanating from Washington, D.C., the U.S. Department of Education appears to be living on borrowed time.

Baseless SLAPP suits threaten the speech rights of all Americans (The Dispatch) by meIt’s difficult to imagine a more thorough and obvious violation of basic First Amendment principles than this lawsuit. Polling the electorate is election participation, not interference—and reporting your findings is protected speech whether your findings turn out to be right or wrong. Iowa’s laws on election “interference” are about conduct such as using a counterfeit ballot or changing someone else’s ballot.
