"Revealed: Right-Wing Group's Influence on GOP Leaders Through Emails"

Emails obtained by CNN and Documented reveal how the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), a right-wing think tank with ties to conservative billionaires, has steered GOP leaders like Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft on major policy issues, including "anti-woke" investment regulations and voting restrictions. The group's influence has led to laws that can cost states millions of dollars and impact public services, while also advocating for deregulating child labor and slashing food stamps. FGA's tax-exempt status allows it to lobby for partisan political goals, and its efforts have been met with swift backlash and legal challenges.

SWAT Team Searches Home of Man Behind 'Doxxing Trucks' Targeting Pro-Palestine Ivy League Students

The president of Accuracy in Media, a right-wing group that used "doxxing trucks" to expose pro-Palestine activists at Ivy League schools, had his home searched by a SWAT team after a false call claimed he was armed and threatening his wife. Adam Guillette believes someone lied to the police in an attempt to harm him in retaliation for his group's campaign. Guillette has received threatening messages since the campaign began and takes precautions for his and his wife's safety. The controversial campaign involved driving trucks with the faces of accused students and the label "anti-Semites" around Harvard Square and to the homes of some students.
