Accountability is coming for Rogue Cities (SB 822 Update)

Your relentless pressure worked!

The Senate Local Government Committee reported SB 822 on a 7-3 vote today. This brings us one massive step closer to strengthening Pennsylvania’s firearms preemption law and holding lawless local governments accountable.

For years, “gun grabbers” in cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have treated our state preemption law like a suggestion rather than a mandate. They continue to pass illegal local gun control ordinances with zero fear of repercussions because they wrongly believe that gun owners like you and I don’t have the “teeth” in the law to hold them accountable.

But GOA and our members are holding them accountable.

As a reminder, SB 822 is “Preemption with Teeth!” It provides gun owners with the resources to end local gun control once and for all:

• RECOVER DAMAGES: If a court finds a local ordinance violates state law, the municipality must pay damages and attorney fees.
• PROTECT THE INNOCENT: It awards costs to unsuspecting citizens charged under illegal ordinances who are later acquitted.
• GOA CAN FIGHT FOR YOU: It allows membership organizations like GOA to sue on your behalf, stopping the “financial war of attrition” waged by Bloomberg-funded front organizations.

Rogue mayors and council members have the unlimited resources of Everytown USA and Bloomberg behind them. They want to bankrupt you in court just for exercising your constitutionally protected rights.

But SB 822 levels the playing field. It permanently ends the ability of local governments to pass illegal gun control without consequences.

The fight isn’t over yet! We must keep the pressure on the full Senate to schedule SB 822 for a final vote immediately.

That’s why I need you to send a message to your state senator (by using the form above). Let them know that gun owners demand local governments be held accountable for trampling on the constitutional rights of their citizens and urge them to pass SB 822 immediately.

U.S. — In an explosive interview conducted by The New York Times, media personality Tucker Carlson denied ever hearing of this Tucker Carlson fellow.

The United States has sunk Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said in a statement on Monday as the Navy worked to reopen the global shipping lane.

“We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, ‘fast’ Boats. It’s all they have left,” Trump wrote on social media, saying the strikes came in response to an Iranian attack on a South Korean cargo ship.

“Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait,” Trump added.

“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning,” he added.

The United States entered a ceasefire with Iran on April 8, which has continued despite Iranian disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli-Lebanese combat, and an American blockade on Iranian commerce.

On Monday, the United States began to attempt to escort ships through the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passed before the conflict.

Global oil and gasoline prices have soared since the start of the conflict.

The United Arab Emirates said on Monday that it was receiving missile and drone strikes from Iran.

Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of United States Central Command, said on Monday, “We’ve reached out to dozens of ships and shipping companies to encourage traffic flow.”

Asked what the renewed combat means for the ceasefire and the future of the conflict, a Pentagon spokesperson directed The Daily Signal to contact the White House, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Friday, Trump sent letters to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, saying that hostilities with Iran “have terminated,” which, in theory, would absolve him of the need to seek a congressional extension of his war powers.

In a troubling development, a terrorist front group that has gained tremendous influence by suing and lobbying to embed Islam in American public institutions has succeeded in getting the nation’s federal prison system to submit to Islamic law. The case involves the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a radical Muslim charity that was named as a co-conspirator in a federal terror-finance case involving the Hamas front group Holy Land Foundation. CAIR was founded in 1994 by three Middle Eastern extremists (Omar Ahmad, Nihad Awad and Rafeeq Jaber) who ran the American propaganda wing of Hamas, known then as the Islamic Association for Palestine. For years CAIR has used the U.S. legal system and widespread pressure campaigns to influence various areas of American public life, most recently by strong-arming Maryland’s largest taxpayer-funded school district to give students the day off in observance of a Muslim religious holiday known as Eid al-Fitr.

Now the extremist group that claims to advance Muslim civil rights is celebrating a huge legal victory that will impact a central component of the U.S. criminal justice system, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FOB). The agency with over 33,000 employees oversees the custody of some 154,000 federal inmates throughout the country. The FOB as well as the state prison system bans hats and other head covers for security and safety reasons. A few years ago, a Somali Muslim woman, Muna Jama, was required to remove her hijab—a head scarf used as a symbol of modesty in the Islamic dress code—during booking and official prison identification photos were taken. Jama was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for conspiracy to provide material support to the Somali terrorist group al-Shabaab, which has strong ties to al-Qaeda. Jama helped operate an online network that raised and disbursed money to al-Shabaab for jihadists plots, military operations and safehouses.

CAIR sued the BOP on the terrorist’s behalf, asserting that the prison system’s policy is unconstitutional and violates her religious rights. Forcing the convicted extremist to remove her hijab, photographing her uncovered and requiring her to carry that uncovered photo on an ID she must present throughout the prison everyday is a violation of federal law, according to the complaint. Jama’s faith requires her to always wear a hijab when she is in mixed-gender spaces outside of her immediate family, the court document states, adding that her religious beliefs are deeply rooted in Islamic texts and teachings. “Her hijab is a pillar of her religious practice and integral to her identity as a Muslim woman,” CAIR’s lawsuit reads. Appearing in public or being photographed without the and having that photo accessible to strangers is a serious breach of Jama’s faith and deeply humiliating, the group states. As a result, the convicted terrorist “has sustained damages, and has suffered and continues to suffer mental anguish, physical and emotional distress, humiliation, and embarrassment,” according to the complaint.

A Biden-appointed federal judge in Minnesota, Jeffrey M. Bryan, agreed and recently issued an order affirming the rights of incarcerated Muslim women to wear a hijab despite established security protocols banning all head covers. The judge also directs the FOB to destroy all of Jama’s booking photographs without her hijab, writing that “the retention of Jama’s uncovered photo further substantially burdens Jama’s religious exercise because the photo’s mere existence means a non-familial male could potentially view the photo, thereby violating Jama’s religious beliefs.” The case is the latest of many in which CAIR has altered the way American law enforcement agencies do their job. Years ago, an Atlanta jail caved into CAIR’s demand that Muslim inmates be allowed to wear hijabs. Under Obama CAIR got the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to purge anti-terrorism training curricula of material coined “offensive” to Muslims, a scandal uncovered by Judicial Watch and documented in an in-depth report. The terror front group also got several local police departments and the U.S. military to eliminate anti-terrorism training materials and instructors deemed anti-Muslim. At CAIR’s request, Obama’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, actually ordered the U.S. military to “scour its training material to ensure it doesn’t contain anti-Islamic content.”

Reality TV personality and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt released a hard-hitting ad last week criticizing Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman for their “failed leadership” in response to the Palisades fires and homelessness crisis—so far it has received more than 12 million views.

Released April 29, the ad shows the two Democrats’ posh homes and neighborhoods, which are contrasted with Pratt’s own neighborhood, which burned to the ground in the Palisades fires of January 2025.

“They don’t have to live in the mess they created … they let my home burn down,” Pratt says in the video.

The fires devastated 56% of the Palisades-area structures and 55% of single-family homes, according to the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation report. Bass has received widespread criticism from fire, police, and other disaster response teams for her effort in protecting residents from a major disaster.

In a comment to The Daily Signal, Pratt shared his discontent with Karen Bass and Nithya Raman.

“They’ve been in office for years now, and we can judge them with our own two eyes,” he said. “When people look around Nithya’s district, they see drug needles in their children’s playgrounds, and Nithya is constantly rolling her eyes at concerned parents who beg her to do something about it. You do not roll your eyes at a concerned mom and survive politically to tell the tale.”

On Pratt’s campaign website — where he calls himself “Karen Bass’ Worst Nightmare” — the candidate outlined his mission as being “committed to accountability and growth” and “fighting for the communities too often ignored by those in power.”

In response to the Pratt campaign ad, Alex Stack, spokesperson for Bass, told The Daily Signal, “Spencer is doing his best Trump impression but it’s not going to work in LA.”

Latest Polling

A UCLA poll conducted at the end of March shows Bass ahead of the pack at 25%, followed by Pratt at 11% and Raman at 9%.

However, on Polymarket last week, Pratt surged past Bass with 24% support compared to Bass’ 20%, although Pratt said he favors actual polling to Polymarket predictions.

“It’s very easy to manipulate Polymarket by having bots and donors buy stock, so I’m not very concerned about that,” he said. “The real polls show it’s me versus Karen Bass. Ultimately, they both have a fatal flaw … their record.”

Pratt vs. Raman

According to Raman’s campaign website, she plans to improve Los Angeles by tackling homelessness, housing, transportation, Hollywood jobs, and parks. The LA council member has come under fire, however, after a recording of a mother asking her about homeless encampments near schools went viral.

Raman’s team did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.

In an interview with The Daily Signal regarding the Los Angeles homelessness crisis, Pratt said, “I’m going to enforce SB 43. These people need mandatory treatment. … We need to treat the drug addicts, get them sober, and give them a chance.”
