This Day in Legal History: Homestead ActOn May 20, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act into law, creating one of the most consequential land distribution systems in American history. The statute allowed eligible settlers to claim 160 acres of federal land, so long as they lived on it, improved it, and cultivated it for a required period of time. At a basic level, the law treated land ownership as something that could be earned through residence and labor rather than purchased outright. That idea made the act especially powerful for many farmers, immigrants, formerly enslaved people, and poor white settlers who otherwise had limited access to property. But the promise of “free land” was never as simple as it sounded.Much of the land made available under the Homestead Act had already been occupied, used, or governed by Native nations, and federal land policy often operated alongside removal, broken treaties, and military force. The act therefore expanded private property rights for some while deepening dispossession for others. It also reflected the federal government's growing role in shaping settlement, agriculture, and economic development across the West. By requiring claimants to improve and farm the land, Congress used property law to encourage a particular vision of citizenship: independent, landowning, agricultural, and tied to national expansion. Over time, the law transferred vast amounts of public land into private hands. By the 1930s, roughly 270 million acres had been distributed under the Homestead Act, about 10% of the land area of the United States. Its legal legacy can be seen in debates over public lands, Indigenous sovereignty, property ownership, and the federal government's power to define who gets access to opportunity.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told senators that a nearly $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” tied to President Trump's IRS settlement is “not a slush fund,” but there are several reasons to treat that assurance cautiously. The DOJ says Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization will accept only a formal apology and no direct damages, while the fund will be available to other people who claim they were victims of government “weaponization” or “lawfare.” The problem is that DOJ has not clearly defined who qualifies, what proof is required, or what would disqualify someone from receiving money. When Sen. Chris Van Hollen asked whether people who assaulted police officers on January 6 could apply, Blanche did not rule it out and instead said anyone could apply if they believed they were a victim. Blanche also said he would not personally write the eligibility rules, though senators noted he will appoint most of the commissioners who will oversee the fund. DOJ's public announcement says the fund was created as part of Trump's settlement with the IRS after Trump agreed to drop his lawsuit over the leak of his tax documents.The comparison to the Obama-era Keepseagle settlement is shaky. Keepseagle involved a discrimination case brought by Native American farmers and was approved by a federal judge, while this fund appears to be created through a settlement involving the sitting president and the IRS, without the same kind of judicial approval described here. Democrats also objected that Obama was not personally a plaintiff in Keepseagle, while Trump is directly connected to this settlement. The most legally significant part may be the addendum saying the IRS is permanently barred from examining certain Trump-related tax matters, including returns filed before the settlement's effective date. That makes the deal look larger than a privacy settlement over leaked tax documents, because it may also limit future tax enforcement. Even Senate Majority Leader John Thune said there are “a lot of questions” the administration will have to answer, which is a notable sign that concern is not limited to Democrats.$1.8B IRS Deal Fund ‘Not Slush Fund,' Blanche Tells Senators - Law360Workers at another Wells Fargo branch have moved to drop their union, showing that a once-fast-moving labor campaign inside the bank has lost momentum. The Communication Workers of America gave up representing nine employees at a Wilmington, Delaware, branch after one worker sought a vote to decertify the union. That branch had voted unanimously to unionize in early 2024 and was part of a broader organizing push that brought hundreds of Wells Fargo workers at 28 locations into the union. The campaign was notable because union representation is extremely rare in U.S. banking, where less than 1% of workers are unionized. Organizers had focused on complaints about understaffing, flat wages, sales pressure, and the lingering effects of Wells Fargo's fake-accounts scandal.The recent Delaware development is the fifth Wells Fargo branch where workers have ousted the union, with other decertifications in Florida, New Jersey, and North Carolina, and another petition pending in Wyoming. Wells Fargo said it supports employees' right to choose whether they want union representation. The anti-union National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which has helped workers challenge union representation, framed the decertifications as evidence that employees are rejecting CWA involvement. The CWA, for its part, has blamed Wells Fargo for slowing contract talks and has accused the bank of retaliating against union supporters and cutting benefits at unionized branches. Wells Fargo denies wrongdoing and says delays are tied partly to the difficulty of negotiating some of the first union contracts in retail banking. The broader context is also unfavorable for unions, with fewer union elections held in 2025 than in 2024 and labor advocates arguing that changes at the National Labor Relations Board under President Trump have made organizing harder.Wells Fargo workers nix another union as tide turns in novel labor campaign | ReutersAnthropic is challenging the Defense Department's decision to label it a supply chain risk and bar it from government contracting, arguing that the move was an extreme response to a contract dispute over how its Claude AI models could be used. The dispute began during negotiations over the department's GenAI.mil platform, where the government wanted contract terms allowing all lawful uses of Claude, while Anthropic sought exceptions for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons systems. Anthropic argued that the department's main theory was wrong because once Claude was deployed on the department's classified network, it would be air-gapped and Anthropic could not secretly interfere with it during a military operation. The company also said the government had less drastic options, such as declining to buy future Claude models, instead of using a blacklisting authority that had apparently never been used this way before. One D.C. Circuit judge seemed strongly skeptical of the government's action, calling the supply-chain-risk designation a major overreach. Other judges were less certain, asking whether the opaque and unpredictable nature of AI models could justify the government's concern that hidden limits might affect military uses.The government argued that Anthropic's own proposed red lines created a real operational risk, especially if the company expected officials to seek real-time exceptions during military activity. But the judges also pressed the government on why it needed such broad freedom to use AI, including for fully autonomous weapons, given known concerns about AI reliability. They also questioned why the department went straight to a supply-chain-risk designation instead of simply ending or narrowing the relationship. Anthropic said the government skipped required procedural steps, including a joint recommendation and a 30-day response period, before issuing the designation. The government claimed it had to act quickly because Claude was already being used on several Defense Department platforms. Anthropic countered that this urgency argument was weakened by the department's decision to phase out Claude over six months rather than immediately remove it.Anthropic Says Defense Dept. Smeared It Over AI Red Lines - Law360A Massachusetts judge refused to let Morgan & Morgan lawyer T. Michael Morgan appear in civil litigation against Harvard Medical School over the theft and sale of body parts from donated cadavers. The judge said Morgan's earlier sanction in a Wyoming case, where court filings included fake AI-generated case citations, showed a failure to meet basic ethical duties. Morgan had disclosed the prior sanction when asking to appear as an out-of-state lawyer in the Harvard case, but the judge said he did not explain enough about how he had changed his practices to prevent the same problem from happening again. The judge also criticized Morgan for procedural problems with the Massachusetts application, including not having local counsel submit it and paying the wrong fee.Morgan & Morgan said Morgan had accepted responsibility for the earlier mistake and that the firm had added safeguards around AI use. The underlying Harvard litigation involves families who say Harvard mishandled donated bodies after its former morgue manager, Cedric Lodge, stole and sold body parts; Harvard has condemned Lodge's actions but denies civil liability. Lodge was sentenced to eight years in prison in December. The ruling adds to a growing line of cases where lawyers have been sanctioned or warned for relying on AI tools without verifying the accuracy of legal citations.Lawyer barred from Harvard morgue scandal case over fake AI citations | Reuters This is a public episode.

In this compelling hour of Rush to Reason, John Rush, alongside Andy Peth, takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey through Colorado politics, candidate electability, and the deeper role of faith in decision-making. The hour begins with a sharp look at the Colorado GOP—are candidates being chosen based on principle… or the ability to actually win in a blue state? As the conversation unfolds, a powerful theme emerges: hope is not a strategy. Can a campaign succeed without aligning with the political “market”? Then the focus shifts to real-world consequences, as Mark Mix from the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation exposes troubling stories of workers being fined thousands of dollars just for going to work. Is this worker protection—or coercion? Later in the hour, politics meets theology. John and Andy challenge listeners to rethink how faith, free will, and responsibility intersect in a modern republic. Are voters using the tools they've been given—or ignoring them? This hour doesn't just inform—it challenges. Are we thinking strategically… or simply hoping for the best? Guest Timestamps 30:35 — Mark Mix — https://www.nrtw.org/ HOUR 2 Global tension, local politics, and internal party battles. Hour 2 pulls listeners into a fast-moving, high-stakes conversation. The hour opens with a critical update on Iran, as President Trump's ceasefire strategy raises an important question: Is restraint the smartest move in a fractured and unpredictable region? With divided leadership inside Iran, John and Andy explore whether patience could prevent a wider conflict—or if one wrong move could change everything. But the focus quickly shifts closer to home. A heated breakdown of Colorado GOP strategy reveals a party at a crossroads. What happens if primaries disappear? Would a small group of insiders choose candidates for everyone? And what message does that send to half the state's voters? As the discussion intensifies, deeper concerns emerge, internal lawsuits, power struggles, and a system that may be working against itself. Is this about winning… or control? HOUR 3 What really broke the Colorado GOP—and can it be rebuilt? In Hour 3 of Rush to Reason, John Rush and Andy Peth take listeners behind the curtain, connecting past leadership decisions to today's political reality. The hour opens with a rapid-fire breakdown of controversial actions under former leadership, raising questions about neutrality, power, and trust. But this isn't just about the past… It's about what comes next. As the conversation shifts, John and Andy lay out a bold roadmap: reconnect voters, eliminate barriers like caucus, and completely rebrand the party around personal liberty. Could something as simple as community connection and better messaging change the trajectory? Then comes the biggest insight of the hour: elections aren't won in the final stretch; they're shaped long before. If the “market” isn't moved, no candidate can win. So why does the party keep focusing on the last four months instead of the full cycle? By the end, one question stands above the rest: is the party ready to think strategically… or repeat the same losing pattern?

Steve Gruber sits down with Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Committee and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, to discuss a bold new legislative push to protect independent-minded workers from unwanted union control. Sen. Bill Cassidy's Worker RESULTS Act aims to restore workplace democracy by mandating secret-ballot union elections, banning coercive “card check” organizing, and cutting back on union bosses' ability to block workers from voting out ineffective representation. Mark explains how this proposal stands in stark contrast to other plans, like Sen. Josh Hawley's “Faster Labor Contracts Act,” which could impose forced arbitration and strip workers of their rights. This conversation highlights the fight to defend worker freedom and choice in the workplace.

Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Committee and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, joins The Steve Gruber Show to discuss a major shift in labor policy: the Federal Bureau of Prisons has officially ended collective bargaining for its employees. Mark explains what this decision means for workers, unions, and the future of labor rights in federal institutions, and why protecting individual freedom in the workplace is more important than ever. 

UNIONS OPERATE LIKE THE MOB WHEN YOU TRY TO LEAVE Once you're in, you're NEVER supposed to be out. From a press release I got a week ago:Two King Soopers grocery workers have filed federal charges against the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 union in response to union officials illegally threatening to fine the workers, who chose to exercise their right to work during a strike. These cases, filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), follow a series of similar charges against UFCW union officials for issuing retaliatory fines against King Soopers employees in 2022. Both employees are receiving free legal aid from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys.According to the charges, Local 7 union bosses illegally retaliated against Ryan Lamb and Lucas Martin by assessing presumptive fines and scheduling “trials” for each of them, despite the union having no authority to punish non-members. The charges note that attempts to discipline the workers for post-resignation conduct violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).I've got Patrick Semmens from the National Right To Work organization at 1pm to talk about this.

(The Center Square) – A Washington state labor board is investigating a complaint filed by an employee with the city of Everett regarding dues paid to the local union after that employee attempted to opt out. While the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, representing the employee, claims the incident highlights ongoing problems with the process by which public workers can opt out of paying union dues, the local union and the city of Everett argue it was an administrative mistake that has since been resolved. In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in its Janus decision that forcing public sector employees to pay dues to the union represented a violation of their First Amendment rights. In response, states such as Washington enacted new laws regarding the process by which public workers can opt out.

This episode of The Job Judge podcast discusses the concept of the right to work in the USA, which is often confused with at-will employment. Right to work means that employees in certain states do not have to pay union dues as a condition of employment. Unionization rates in states with right to work laws are lower than those without, and typically, states that tend to vote Republican have right to work laws. There are 26 right to work states in the USA, and the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation website provides information on the laws in each state. The Job Judge Podcast is a podcast for anyone who works. This fun engaging program is a must-listen/watch for any manager, business owner, HR professional, or anyone who works. Relying on three decades of experience as an employment law attorney and HR Executive, Karen Michael uses real case studies in the news and navigates through the legal landmines and workplace dysfunction that we know is probably happening right now in your organization.

What You Need to Know is that the Narrative Machine is lying all around us! One of the best ways to keep track of the Narrative Machine's narrative is to follow Politico. Their rhetoric around democracy is just a talking point of the left, used to target the right. In the US, they use it to attack Trump, and in Europe, they criticize the people for wanting to democratically vote against mass-migration. All while being silent about Zelensky canceling elections in Ukraine. The left only cares about Democracy and the will of the people when it lines up with their will for the people. Do not fall into believing the Narrative Machine's dishonest rhetoric. Natalie Winters, co-host of Steve Bannon's War Room and founder of Sh e's So Right, joins Ed to discuss her new lifestyle brand for conservative women. Natalie discusses how most brands are enmeshed in the world of leftism and resent conservative values, which motivated her to create clothing that both looks nice and aligns with conservative values. Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, joins Ed to discuss how 33 Democrat Senators sent a letter to non-union automakers urging ‘neutrality' to UAW unionization. Mark explains how this plays into the electric vehicle transition, as well as how the taxpayer money in the Inflation Reduction Act is being used to control corporations in the United States. Wrap Up: Tomorrow is January 6, and we should take a moment to say thank you to Rachel Powell for her bravery and perseverance through the legal process, even after being sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison. NBC is very dishonest about her.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tom welcomes Stefan Gleason, president of Money Metals Exchange back to the show. They discuss the legalities and intricacies of purchasing and owning precious metals, as well as the taxation issues surrounding them. Stephen explains the importance of sound money and how it can be achieved through buying and storing gold and silver. He also highlights the legislative victories of the Sound Money Defense League, such as sales tax exemptions for precious metals in several states. Stephen then goes on to explain the difficulty of getting sales tax exemptions passed due to anticipated loss of revenue. He also explains that five states do not have income tax on gold and silver, and that Arkansas and Arizona recently passed laws exempting precious metals from income tax. Stephen then moves on to discuss Congressman Mooney's bill which requires an audit of the Federal Reserve's gold holdings and prohibits the Fed from doing research or development of a Central Bank Digital Currency. Finally, he discusses the idea of spending gold and silver and making it legal tender, as well as the difficulties in making it a viable option. Stephen acknowledges that people are mainly doing it out of ideological reasons, but suggests that it may gain more traction when it becomes the only payment method someone will accept.

He launched the company while president of a national newsletter publishing company dedicated to helping subscribers protect their freedoms, assets, and privacy. Gleason founded Money Metals Exchange in 2010 in response to the abusive practices of national advertisers of "rare" coins. These companies often mark up their coins to 50%, 100%, or even higher above their actual melt value. Money Metals believes the average investor should only purchase precious metals at or near their true melt value. The rare coin market is only suitable for highly experienced collectors with money to blow. Gleason also leads marketing, publishing, and real estate holding companies and legislative projects involving sound money and the precious metals industry. Previously, Gleason served as Vice President of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation in Springfield, Virginia. Gleason is a graduate of the University of Florida with a BA degree in Political Science.
