First Choice Women's Resource Centers v. Platkin | 12/02/25 | Docket #: 24-781 24-781 FIRST CHOICE WOMEN'S RESOURCE CENTERS, INC. V. PLATKIN DECISION BELOW: 2024 WL 5088105 CERT. GRANTED 6/16/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: New Jersey's Attorney General served an investigatory subpoena on First Choice Women's Resource Centers, Inc., a faith-based pregnancy center, demanding that it turn over most of its donors' names. First Choice challenged the Subpoena under 42 U.S.C. 1983 in federal court, and the Attorney General filed a subsequent suit to enforce it in state court. The state court granted the Attorney General's motion to enforce the Subpoena but expressly did not decide First Choice's federal constitutional challenges. The Attorney General then moved in state court to sanction First Choice. Meanwhile, the district court held that First Choice's constitutional claims were not ripe in federal court. The Third Circuit affirmed in a divided per curiam decision. Judge Bibas would have held the action ripe as indistinguishable from . Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Banta , 594 U.S. 595, 618-19 (2021). But the majority concluded First Choice's claims were not yet ripe because First Choice could litigate its constitutional claims in state court. In doing so, the majority followed the rule of the Fifth Circuit and split from the Ninth Circuit. It did not address the likely loss of a federal forum once the state court rules on the federal constitutional issues. The question presented is: Where the subject of a state investigatory demand has established a reasonably objective chill of its First Amendment rights, is a federal court in a first-filed action deprived of jurisdiction because those rights must be adjudicated in state court? LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 24-3124

Campionii din lotul paralimpic al României au povești de viață incredibile. Deși s-a născut fără tibii, Gabriela Bantaș, este campioană națională la paracanoe iar Răzvan Nedu, nevăzător în proporție de 99 la sută, este cel mai medaliat sportiv român la para escaladă. Tudor Furdui ne spune povestea celor doi sportivi cu dizabilități care au arătat că voința poate învinge orice obstacol.  Campioană pe apă, profesoară pe uscat... Are 29 de ani și s-a născut fără tibii, dar nu a lăsat nici o limitare să o oprească în drumul ei spre performanță. Campioană națională la paracanoe, de profesie meditator de română și engleză, Gabi demonstrează zi de zi că voința poate învinge orice obstacol. Pentru ea nu există „nu pot”. La prima ediție a Campionatelor Naționale, sportiva a urcat de două ori pe prima treaptă a podiumului. „Foarte emoționată, mi-au dat și lacrimile, după competiție, mă emoționez foarte ușor. E ceva excepțional” - Gabriela Bantaș, componentă a lotului național. Când e în caiac, Gabi este cea mai fericită. Acolo se simte cel mai bine de când a încercat pentru prima dată acest sport. Video: Comitetul National Paralimpic, Romania, via Facebook „Este locul meu preferat, sincer, glumesc foarte des că aș dormi acolo, în caiac, îmi place foarte mult și s-a prins virusul ca să zic așa de la bun început. Mi-a plăcut foarte mult în caiac , m-am adaptat foarte rapid și e locul unde aș sta zi lumină” Mereu cu zâmbetul pe buze, tânăra este cea care are tot timpul o vorbă bună pentru fiecare dintre colegii ei. Ea a spus și ce handicap major are și cum a trecut peste:   „Vine natural cred să rămâi cu zâmbetul pe buze când faci ceva ce îți place! M-am născut fără tibie la ambele picioare, există practic  - cum văd eu - două opțiuni: ori să rămânem blocați în aceste limitări, ori mergem mai departe și vedem ce putem face” - Gabriela Bantaș, componentă a lotului național. Gabi și-a dorit tot timpul să își depășească limitele. Și face niște lucruri care până și pentru un om normal sunt dificile: „Îmi place și să merg pe role. Am mers pe role chiar și cu ortezele, port aceste dispozitive medicale să mă ajute să merg” - Gabriela Bantaș, componentă a lotului național. Atunci când nu e la antrenamente și la concursuri, ea nu are timp să se plictisească: „Predau limba română străinilor, dar și engleză românilor care vor să învețe. Mai și consiliez elevi care vor să aplice în străinătate”   Vede doar 1% și e campion mondial la paraescaladă! Un alt sportiv paralimpic care are o poveste de viață uluitoare este Răzvan Nedu, cel mai medaliat român la para escaladă sportul în care este și căpitanul echipei naționale. Răzvan și-a mai trecut în palmares o medalie strălucitoare: aurul la Campionatul Mondial de la Seul, acolo unde România s-a clasat pe locul 5 din 29 de țări. „Titlu de campion mondial este doar o încununare a muncii de aproape 9 ani jumate de când m-am apucat de cățărat și de antrenamente, de multe ore de antrenament”, spune el. Răzvan Nedu practică de aproape 20 de ani paraescalada și când s-a apucat de acest sport și-a făcut o promisiune! Să i se cânte Imnul României! „Când l-am ascultat, am simțit efectiv o relaxare în tot corpul și o bucurie și acel fior, acea emoție, care nu poate fi descrisă, dar care apare atunci când ascult imnul țării mele”  La Campionatul Mondial de la Seul, România a terminat pe locul 5 din 29 de țări! „A fost ceva ce nici măcar nu ne-am propus sau nu visam! Incredibil că am fost în fața unor țări ca Marea Britanie, Spania, Italia, care au o infrastructură mult mai dezvoltată. Secretul e să muncești pentru că degeaba ai condiții dacă nu ai sportiv”   Răzvan va fi și el prezent la Los Angeles în 2028 la Jocurile Paralimpice. Acum el are 29 de ani și nu știe cum arată lumea pentru că s-a născut cu o deficiență majoră de vedere. „Medicii spun că văd undeva aproximativ 1%. Este din naștere. Folosesc bastonul alb atunci când merg” Răzvan nu doar concurează, ci și antrenează! „Mă antrenez de la 9 la 13, iar apoi de la 13 la 9 lucrez. Deci e o zi full, eu lucrez ca și antrenor de escaladă, învăț copii tineri să se cațăre și să-și depășească limitele. Rămân mereu în sala de cățărat”

What happens when senior executives step into a room and speak with radical candor? In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, host Peter Winick sits down with Ken Banta, Founder and CEO of the Vanguard Network, to explore how real leaders grow stronger through dialogue—not monologues. Ken doesn't just advise on leadership—he builds ecosystems where executives learn directly from each other. The Vanguard Network creates peer-to-peer forums where GCs, CEOs, and senior leaders share their toughest challenges and unfiltered lessons. The power comes not from lectures or PowerPoint, but from raw, honest conversation. Members of his network walk away with two powerful outcomes. First, practical insights they can use immediately—solutions drawn from peers who've been there before. Second, the relief of knowing they're not alone. When a board chair demands instant answers, having the confidence that others face the same issues is invaluable. These conversations create resilience, credibility, and a stronger sense of leadership presence. Ken also shows how these networks spark new thought leadership. Dialogue around real problems fuels fresh ideas, posts, and even books like his "Seeing Around Corners". This isn't theory—it's leadership in action, captured and shared for broader impact. The results are tangible. Leaders leave with new strategies, new allies, and sometimes even new career opportunities. One member walked peers through a cyberattack disaster, openly admitting mistakes and lessons. Another two struck a career-changing deal over dinner. This is thought leadership at its highest level—intimate, applied, and deeply human. If you want to see how conversation transforms into influence, this episode is for you. Three Key Takeaways: • Dialogue beats monologue. Executives gain more from candid peer conversations than from lectures or presentations. • Leaders don't stand alone. Sharing challenges in trusted forums provides reassurance and practical solutions. • Conversations spark influence. Real stories and exchanges fuel new thought leadership, stronger presence, and fresh opportunities. If you found Ken Banta's episode insightful, you'll want to keep the momentum going with Karen Leland's conversation on the performance of thought leadership. Ken showed how peer-to-peer dialogue fuels fresh insights and builds executive presence. Karen takes it a step further, exploring how leaders can deliver their ideas with clarity, confidence, and authenticity so they truly land with an audience. Together, these two episodes connect the what and the how of thought leadership: Ken highlights the power of conversations that spark ideas, while Karen shows you how to perform those ideas so they inspire action. Listen to Karen's episode to learn practical strategies for elevating your communication, amplifying your presence, and making your thought leadership unforgettable.

In this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio, Denise Griffitts speaks with Ken Banta, a leadership advisor and founder of The Vanguard Network. Drawing on insights from his book Seeing Around Corners, Ken explains how leaders can navigate disruption and crisis while keeping their organizations aligned and resilient. The discussion highlights common mistakes executives make, the importance of communication, and how to anticipate change before it arrives. Listeners will gain actionable insights into making better decisions, strengthening their leadership presence, and guiding their teams through transformation.

Ken Banta, founder and CEO of the Vanguard Network, is a recognized expert in leadership and organizational change. With a rich background as a journalist—covering pivotal events like the Eastern European revolutions for Time magazine—Ken transitioned into corporate leadership, helping guide major turnarounds at companies such as Pharmacia and Bausch & Lomb. His latest book, Seeing Around Corners, gathers lessons from top leaders and is designed to inspire everyone, from emerging professionals to global executives. Ken's perspective on leadership is shaped by witnessing ordinary people drive extraordinary change, often guided by unexpected leaders like Vaclav Havel. These experiences reinforced his belief that leadership isn't just for those at the top; anyone, regardless of background or title, can play a vital role. True leaders are consistent in their purpose, adaptable, and agile—qualities that matter as much in everyday life as in the boardroom. Ken's key takeaway is simple: leadership is for everyone. Whether you're leading a team or contributing as an individual, you can make an impact by being clear on your purpose, staying flexible in your approach, and staying connected to those around you. Embrace your own ability to lead and remember—often, the most lasting change comes from ordinary people stepping up in extraordinary ways.

Det är dags att sluta banta och stressa kring att du måste tappa vikt, bli av med kilon, äta mindre och sluta med socker. Det är en lösning som är stressande och sällan motiverande. Vägen fram är att kliva in i en ny version av dig själv och börja tänka, känna och agera som den personen. Det kan låta svårt men om du lyssnar på det här avsnittet kommer du att förstå och jag hoppas verkligen att det kommer att skapa inspiration att göra vägen mot en lättare och gladare kropp enklare.

He and his firm help C-Suite executives and business owners fine-tune their management skills, build valuable new relationships, and elevate the performance of their organizations. One of Ken's surprising recommendations is that companies do away with long-term strategic plans and instead focus primarily on the immediate horizon. “The way things move today is so quick and so unpredictable that having detailed strategies …seems to me to be really antiquated,” he says, akin to trying to predict the location of the next lightning strike. Ken is the author of Seeing Around Corners: C-Suite Wisdom from America's Most Insightful Leaders, a powerful collection of leadership insights from dozens of wise CEOs, general counsels, and boardroom veterans.

In today's world, many people struggle with weight gain, a slow metabolism, brain fog, and difficulty building muscle, despite healthy diets and exercise. Health expert Sarah Banta says the cause is often in thyroid and liver health. Her insights, shared on a podcast with Wade Lightheart, highlight how these organs regulate metabolism, fat burning, and muscle building. When these organs are not working well due to toxins, stress, or poor nutrition, the body may have trouble losing fat and gaining muscle. Thyroid: Metabolic Master Switch The thyroid controls how the body makes energy. It affects our metabolism, body temperature, fat burning, mental clarity, mood, and hormone balance. Sarah notes that many people might have thyroid issues, even if tests look normal. Symptoms of a struggling thyroid include slow metabolism, fat gain, cold hands and feet, brain fog, fatigue, and muscle loss. Thyroid issues can prevent effective fat burning, no matter the diet or exercise. Liver: Metabolic Role The thyroid and liver work together. The liver converts inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to the active form (T3). If the liver is slow or congested, this conversion suffers, slowing down the thyroid. Modern lifestyles burden the liver with toxins, processed foods, and stress. This can lead to fat gain, slow metabolism, and hormonal imbalances. Liver stress can reduce thyroid and overall metabolic function. Iodine's Essential Role Iodine is important for thyroid function and every cell in the body. Many people are iodine deficient due to depleted soils, microplastics in salt, and competition from other chemicals. Iodine helps produce thyroid hormones, supports brain function, cellular energy, immune defense, and hormonal balance. It also helps detoxify heavy metals. Optimal iodine dosing is needed to overcome deficiency and remove toxins. Liver Detox for Results An overloaded liver can block fat burning, impair thyroid conversion, cause insulin resistance, and interfere with protein absorption. Sarah's approach uses herbs to stimulate bile flow, support detox, break down fatty liver, and optimize metabolism. Key ingredients include Milk Thistle and other herbs that help with liver health. A healthy liver allows the body to burn fat and build muscle safely. In this podcast you'll learn... Why iodine deficiency is a true health crisis. What are the causes of unexplained weight gain are. What the hidden causes of Insulin Resistance are. If you can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. How the spike protein affected our health. How thyroid health affects mental health.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram LinkedIn

ACC women's basketball powerhouse Louisville has been slightly off their game. Want to know why? We did too so we asked Chrissy Banta, the Co-Host of the Louisville women's basketball post-game show on 93.9 The Ville and Host of the podcast, 'Who Told You To Say That' to join us on ACC Nation. There may be multiple reasons but then again not one in particular. Find out what all those possibilities might be. Mike Barber | 1 Solid Hour Of Sports Banta takes us through the success of head coach Jeff Walz and looks at a team heavily loaded with first-year players. There's many stat lines to look at and you can see where players are struggling but are close to breaking through. If a late season and ACC Tournament surge doesn't occur the key to having the Cardinals return to form will be in keeping the roster intact. Louisville Banta has an affinity for and training in baking thus a reputation within The Ville for bringing the goods with cookies. She shares some of that passion and we find out where the 'foodie' in her comes out when it comes to Louisville area eateries. Anyone making a journey for games should make note as she covers a nice variety. Report Card | ACC Football '24. Did It Make The Grade? Our thanks to Chrissy Banta for taking the time to join us even as she was recovering from a 'please go away' persistent cough and we hope she's feeling better soon. Listen, like and subscribe to ACC Nation. You have multiple choices including our podcast, streaming radio and watching us on YouTube.

We have had a rash of KY "Republicans" not being very conservative this past week. I'll go over who the offenders are and what they have done. In this episode I cover Kim' Banta's new gun control bill. In one part I quoted her talking about if a 15 year old shoots a cow while hunting. In the show I wasn't as clear as I wanted to be on current hunting laws. The fact Banta was referencing shooting a cow I believe she was talking about hunting big game (like a deer). In KY it is not legal for a 15 year old to hunt a deer with a rifle on their own, a fact I call her out for not knowing despite making laws on the subject. What I did not make clear is that kids twelve or older can hunt small game on their own, I did not mention this in the show because she had brought up shooting a cow and not something smaller like a cat. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrew-cooperrider/support

Chronic stress can lead to increased cortisol levels, affecting metabolism and energy storage.Chronic stress can slow down metabolism, making it harder to lose weight eating the same foods - especially for menopausal and perimenopausal women. Extreme dieting and excessive exercise can backfire, increasing cortisol levels and storing fat as a protective mechanism. Knowledge is power! Tune in and learn.
