"If Labor takes up @ConsumersFirst’s request, or if state AGs launch their own investigations, Randi Weingarten’s days of threatening companies for political purposes may soon be over." @ThePolForum (with shout outs to @WillHild and @DeAngelisCorey) wokecapital.org/public-pension…

Teachers’ pension systems shouldn’t be used to advance a political agenda. @AFTunion leadership is encouraging teachers and trustees to economically pressure companies based on their political motives. Our Executive Director @WillHild joined @NTDNews to break down this abrogation of pension fund trustees’ duty to focus on returns for beneficiaries.

Is America's 2nd largest teachers union trying to bend public pension funds toward their political goals? @ConsumersFirst urges the @USDOL to investigate if they are in a new letter. @DailyCaller New Foundation👇

No surprise Randi's obsession with activism extends beyond classrooms leaving students and teachers behind. Thanks @ConsumersFirst for raising concerns that teachers' retirement savings are a vehicle for AFT's political agenda, putting teacher's hard-earned dollars at risk.

The American Federation of Teachers’ political activism, targeting companies in which its pension systems hold investments, may conflict with the duty of loyalty owed to its pension beneficiaries. Our Executive Director @WillHild is sounding the alarm:

🚨 One of the nation’s largest teachers, unions, @AFTunion (led by the infamous left-wing activist @RWeingarten), has made clear that political activism is its top priority — and that prioritization of politics, over the well being of its members, may have just landed Randi and her cronies in hot water 👇 Today, we’re calling on the Department of Labor to investigate whether @AFTunion is using its influence over teacher pension systems to advance a political agenda. Our belief is that @AFTunion’s political activism directly conflicts with the fiduciary obligations owed by public pension trustees (which the @AFTunion openly acknowledges it influences). There are a litany of examples of this. To name a few, @AFTunion and @RWeingarten have supported: - Pressure campaigns targeting firearm manufacturers - Fossil fuel divestment initiatives - Consumer boycotts against Target over its DEI policies - Threats of divestment from GM and Stellantis over union demands In 2025, Weingarten even demanded asset managers divest from Tesla, citing purely political concerns about @ElonMusk, claiming she was “safeguarding workers’ retirements.” (Tesla stock has increased by more than 40% since she made those comments.) It appears clear to us that union leadership is encouraging teachers and trustees to economically pressure companies that may also be generating returns for teacher retirement systems. We’re calling on @USDOL Acting Secretary @Sonderling47 to take a closer look to ensure that teachers’ retirement systems aren’t being used to push a political agenda.

This is huge for restoring fairness in hiring. Disparate impact liability has been used by bureaucrats and activists to push racial balancing over merit. President Trump first took a sledgehammer to disparate impact liability last year when he signed an EO dismantling the theory. Now, the Justice Department is taking the next step to ensure equal opportunities within the American workplace.

You mean the procedures they “don’t do?” Months ago, @JonesDay said claims that @ClevelandClinic performed child sex changes were “demonstrably false.”

NEW: Samsung and ExxonMobil are reincorporating their businesses in Texas. The two companies are the latest in a growing trend to move to pro-growth states like Texas that protect businesses from rogue woke actors like proxy advisors. 📺 @FoxNews

Samsung’s decision to reincorporate in a pro-growth state like Texas is a clear indictment of radical, business-crushing policies. Our Executive Director @WillHild on the move in the @DailyCaller ⬇️ “By making this sensible move, Samsung and other companies are demonstrating that they’re done being battered by far-left government hacks and woke Wall Street firms and will fight to put the interests of their investors and customers first.”

Two competing academic worldviews will train the next generation of economic, legal, and policy leaders. The conservative movement cannot afford to miss this moment and ignore academia. Consumers’ Research Senior Research Fellow Professor @TomMillerJr and George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law @ToddZywicki share more about this pivotal moment in the fight to preserve consumer choice and economic freedom.
