Kansas AG sues Pfizer for misleading Kansans on COVID vaccine ()
Today, Kansas won a nationwide preliminary injunction stopping the latest version of President Biden’s student loan cancellation scheme. The order stops the Biden administration from cancelling student loans under its latest regulation, which was scheduled to take effect on 7/1.
all Kansas school districts are now on notice that they must abide by the court's injunction and that they are prohibited from changing any of the schools' policies to reflect Biden's Title IX transgender rule.
AG Kobach: Kansas Legislature votes to eliminate state fee for concealed carry permit. Fulfills campaign promise. Kansans should not have to pay a fee to exercise constitutional rights.

KU has many hallowed traditions, but siding with antisemitic terrorists is not one of them. KU should enforce all applicable rules and regs so the edu mission of KU is not disrupted. The taxpayers of KS expect and deserve the very best from KU.

This is not only unconstitutional, it’s unfair. Blue collar Kansas workers who didn’t go to college shouldn’t have to pay off the student loans of New Yorkers with gender studies degrees. END
Kansas’s victory today is a victory for the entire country. As the court correctly held, whether to forgive billions of dollars of student debt is a major question that only Congress can answer. Biden’s administration is attempting to usurp Congress’s authority.
The Biden-Harris administration has taken an America last position. In this case, they were trying to give alien ag workers rights that Americans do not have. That's why KS took the lead in filing this lawsuit. The rule of law has prevailed.

The fact of the matter is this: it is not amongst the President's abilities to bypass Congress and earmark 100s of billions of dollars for what they see fit. This is called the "Major Questions Doctrine," and it is crucial to maintaining the separation of powers in our system.
It's evident protesters at KU didn't do their homework before they started protesting. They demanded KU divest from companies that do business with Israel. KS law prohibits any entities of the state of divesting from Israel.
