My office just put @saintlouismayor on notice that her proposed legislation would violate Missourians’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

Image
Let me be clear – I will zealously perform my constitutional duty to defend the rights of each law-abiding citizen to keep and bear arms in defense of their home, person, family and property, which is the promise made to them by the Missouri Constitution.
Not only would the proposed legislation be unconstitutional, it wouldn't work. Even @saintlouismayor admits stricter gun laws don't deter gun violence, as evidenced by her texts. Image
I encourage Mayor Jones to go after criminals, not guns.
As the Attorney General for the State of Missouri, I will discharge my duties under the Constitution and resist any effort to infringe on the right of the people of Missouri to keep and bear arms.

Our first day in court standing against child mutilation went well.

Here are the highlights:
We got the leftist activists to admit that the leading health studies “supporting” gender transition interventions for children were based on weak science.
Their expert also admitted that they didn’t know that the Swedish health authorities assert that the harms to gender transition interventions outweigh the benefits.

Today's oral argument in Missouri v. Biden proved what we've known all along: the Biden Administration has shamelessly and relentlessly coerced and colluded with social media platforms to censor free speech,

Some highlights from the hearing:
Biden’s lawyer seriously insinuated COVID caused a lot in the world to change, and thus, government censorship is permissible.
Biden's lawyer also said that Americans have not been harmed by the vast censorship enterprise emanating from the Biden White House.

Every American who has had a post removed or deplatformed would beg to differ.

I will always fight for Missouri consumers when their rights are being violated.

To that end, I filed suit against H&R Block, Taxslayer LLC, and TaxAct, Inc. for illegally sharing the sensitive data of Missouri taxpayers with Meta, Google and other Big Tech companies. Image
These companies violated state law when they shared sensitive personal and financial information with the Big Tech companies, which use the data for diverse advertising purposes, without customers’ consent.
If there’s anything we’ve discovered in our federal censorship lawsuit, it’s that these Big Tech companies do not have Americans’ best interests at heart.

Yesterday, we obtained an order to HALT what the court described as the Biden administration’s "massive attack against free speech” unseen before in United States history.

Some notable points from the judge’s order in our landmark free speech case, Missouri v. Biden:
The judge noted the censorship emanating from the federal government looks a lot like George Orwell’s “1984,” that “the evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario” and that the feds appear to have “assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.”
The Court points out that the 20,000+ pages of evidence my office uncovered display the frightening coercion and collusion occurring between the feds and social media companies.

🚨BREAKING: The Court has granted our motion to BLOCK top officials in the federal government from violating the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans.

What a way to celebrate Independence Day.
The preliminary injunction prohibits nearly all of the federal government, including DHS, DOJ, and HHS, from coercing and colluding with social media companies to censor free speech, amongst other things:

Key officials of the White House, CDC, FBI, State Department, and other agencies are also blocked from participating in the federal government’s vast censorship enterprise.

As Attorney General, I will always fight for the rights of states to protect the unborn.

I've joined 16 other AGs in filing an amicus brief at the Arizona Supreme Court in support of Arizona's pro-life law that has been tied up in litigation. Image
In its Dobbs ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court correctly recognized that the Constitution allows states to protect life. After that decision, Arizona asked the state courts to allow it to enforce its elective-abortion ban.
The trial court agreed, but the Arizona Court of Appeals reversed and essentially declared Arizona’s pro-life law had been repealed. It concluded that physicians may perform abortions through 15 weeks gestation.
