吃瓜直播

On March 6, 2025, the 吃瓜直播; the 吃瓜直播 of Rhode Island; Lynette Labinger, cooperating attorney for the 吃瓜直播 of Rhode Island; and David Cole filed a federal lawsuit against the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), challenging a new requirement that all grant applicants certify that 鈥渇ederal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology,鈥� pursuant to President Trump鈥檚 Executive Order 14168, and a related prohibition on funding any projects that appear to 鈥減romote鈥� such messages.

The National Education Association, the National Education Association-New Hampshire, and the Center for Black Educator Development filed a challenge in federal court against the U.S. Department of Education鈥檚 Feb. 14, 2025 鈥淒ear Colleague Letter,鈥� which announced that ED will treat diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts as unlawful and threatens to move swiftly to cut schools鈥� federal funding. ED鈥檚 actions violate due process and the First Amendment, as well as basic requirements for agency action.

This case arises from the November 2024 election for state supreme court justice in North Carolina. Incumbent State Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs defeated Court of Appeals Judge Jefferson Griffin, but Griffin has filed a petition seeking to invalidate more than 65,000 votes from the election. He argues that the state Board of Elections impermissibly allowed 60,000 people to register without providing their driver鈥檚 licenses or social security numbers, and that the Board impermissibly allowed 5,500 overseas voters to cast absentee ballots without photo identification. The petition has resulted in both federal and state litigation, and the 吃瓜直播 has submitted amicus briefs in both venues. In the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, the 吃瓜直播鈥檚 Voting Rights Project and the 吃瓜直播 of North Carolina filed an amicus brief explaining that the petition鈥檚 attempt to cancel tens of thousands of votes threatens democratic backsliding in North Carolina. Separately, in the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the 吃瓜直播鈥檚 State Supreme Court Initiative and the 吃瓜直播 of North Carolina submitted an amicus brief explaining that, even if the Board did make mistakes, cancelling votes as a consequence of those mistakes would violate the popular sovereignty provision of the North Carolina Constitution because voters relied on the Board to know how to register and vote.
