The Supreme Court is set to hear a case involving commercial fishermen opposing a government fee, but the lawyers behind the case are linked to Charles Koch and have a broader agenda to limit federal regulatory authority. A victory for the fishermen could significantly curtail the power of federal agencies to regulate various sectors, including fisheries, the environment, health care, finance, and telecommunications. The lawyers representing the fishermen are associated with a public-interest law firm that is connected to Americans for Prosperity, a group funded by Koch Industries.

"DeSantis' Presidential Hopes Dim as GOP Struggles Mount"

Ron DeSantis's presidential campaign is facing turmoil as internal disputes within his team become public, leading to the resignation of the chairman and CEO of his super PAC. As Republicans seek an alternative to Donald Trump, the influential Charles Koch network has endorsed Nikki Haley, further complicating DeSantis's bid. Some senior campaign aides are pessimistic about their chances, while DeSantis's struggles as a candidate and his strategy of appealing to Trump supporters have drawn attention. Despite the challenges, DeSantis's team remains optimistic and is focusing on Iowa, where he has high-profile surrogates and is attempting to peel away Trump supporters.

"Nikki Haley's Rise: Can She Overcome Trump's Criticism and Secure Victory?"

Former President Donald Trump criticized a conservative super PAC backed by billionaire Charles Koch for endorsing former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the 2024 presidential election, calling the group "bad for our Country." Trump also escalated his attacks on Haley, referring to her as "weak and ineffective." The PAC, Americans for Prosperity Action, endorsed Haley, citing her as a new generation of conservative leaders, despite trailing Trump significantly in early primary polling.

Internal polling shows Haley in a strong position to defeat Trump in the primaries and outperform him against Joe Biden in key battleground states. The Koch network's endorsement is seen as a significant boost for Haley's campaign, although critics argue that she is not a conservative moderate.

"Inside Charles Koch's Billion-Dollar Philanthropic Legacy"

Billionaire Charles Koch, chairman and co-CEO of Koch Industries, has revealed his secret plan for passing on his fortune and influence. He has already transferred equal amounts of his nonvoting Koch Industries shares to his son Chase and daughter Elizabeth. The rest of his wealth will go towards funding his free-market focused charities and causes. After Charles' death, Chase will inherit all of his father's voting stock, giving him 42% control of Koch Industries. Chase's venture capital subsidiary, Koch Disruptive Technologies, will play a significant role in the company's future. Charles dismisses speculation that Chase will replace him as CEO, stating that Chase wants to focus where he can contribute the most. Charles' nonprofit network, Stand Together, is run by another protege, Brian Hooks.
