Jan. 30, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging President Donald Trump to release any remaining documents from the FBI’s 2016-2019 investigation into false allegations by the DNC and Hillary Clinton that the President was a Russian agent after former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News with Sean Hannity that many documents are “stuff that you could only read in the office” that “involved the collusion hoax, Crossfire Hurricane”:

“Almost a decade ago, the FBI launched the ill-fated Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Trump, making false allegations that the 2016 campaign was conspiring with Russia that ultimately has led to a dangerous escalation, risking war, and almost a decade later, the American people still do not have all of the documents about what happened, and how it was the Justice Department utilized Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign-generated false ‘intelligence’ in a high level operation to conduct surveillance against the opposition party in an election year and then to continue the top secret investigation into the sitting president, undermining the President’s foreign policy and the overall administration of the executive branch and the Justice Department. We’re still picking up the constitutional wreckage from this very dark chapter of American history.

“Judicial Watch is suing for additional documents, and now former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino has confirmed there are still things ‘you can only read in the office’. Maybe it’s the subject of an active investigation, which is interesting, but given the realities of judicial and jury nullification in John Durham’s ill-fated attempts to prosecute Russiagate crimes (or more recent attempts to prosecute violent agitators from 2025 anti-ICE riots), the likelihood of seeing justice appears slim.

“They neither fear prosecution nor conviction. The only thing the perpetrators do fear is exposure and transparency. And it might be the only card left to play. Don’t just tell us what happened — show us — and bring the American people with you. It might be the only way to ultimately prevent this from every happening again, regardless of which party is in the White House. Declassify everything, Mr. President.”

Jan. 26, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement praising President Donald Trump and Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz for speaking and reportedly having a “productive” call:

“It is very good for America that President Trump and Governor Walz talk this out, and now they finally have — and not a moment too soon. It is imperative that the federal government and states work together on matters that the federal government has purview, including immigration enforcement. No more sanctuary states. Crowds of people should not be anywhere near enforcement operations, but they are. It’s not safe for the officers or the people trying to get in the way. There should be perimeters so the only people federal agents are interacting with are the targets of the investigations. Unfortunately, the ICE Watch groups are too well organized and are spotting federal agents’ vehicles to disrupt regular enforcement operations in real-time, which the Justice Department should disrupt and arrest the ringleaders of.

“If state and local police cannot or will not provide coordination — can’t DHS just arrest the illegal aliens at the courthouse and jails? — and are unable to get these groups out of federal officers’ ways, then there is a much bigger problem. The National Guard is probably better at crowd control than DHS, and both the Governor and the President have the power to put them out there and restore order if necessary. Hopefully, the discussion underway is at a beginning and not an end and results in the normalization of federal immigration enforcement operations there and the end of Minnesota being a sanctuary state. The current escalation would be almost entirely preventable if Minnesota and Minneapolis would just cooperate with federal enforcement efforts underway.”

Jan. 16, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz and all governors to cooperate with federal immigration law enforcement efforts:

“The real constitutional crisis are sanctuary cities and states that actively encourage illegal aliens to become enrolled in public services, schools, health care — the works — as a magnet to expand their political power. Dangerously, they are encouraging their citizens to act as human shields for those illegal aliens, obstructing federal law enforcement efforts, now with deadly consequences. This is a national tragedy in the making. The Supremacy Clause of Article VI of the Constitution is very clear that all laws made pursuant to the Constitution are the supreme law of the land, including immigration laws. There is no nullification. Enough already. We already fought a Civil War over this. All cities and states, including Minneapolis and Minnesota, should be cooperating with federal authority.

“Instead, Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz is repeatedly stating he is ‘at war with our federal government,’ when asked said he would use the National Guard to target ‘rogue federal agents’ and fantasizes he is winning ‘hearts and minds’ (quoting Field Marshall Gerald Templer) in his war against Washington, D.C. If states will not stop putting their own citizens in harm’s way and actively urging rebellion by joining groups like ICE Watch to obstruct immigration enforcement, President Donald Trump will be left with no choice but to invoke the Insurrection Act not just in Minnesota, but in all sanctuary cities and states, to restore constitutional federal authority. The President and Governor Walz should be speaking about how best to coordinate federal and state efforts to enforce immigration laws and to stop the fraud that is occurring. Yes, turn down the temperature. It’s not too late, but states must accept the Constitution and federal authority as a fact of life and finally bring an end to their fantastic, alternative political society where those laws don’t exist or maybe even where Trump isn’t president. No more sanctuary cities and states.”

Jan. 9, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement in response to the latest jobs numbers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

“After rising for 34 months, unemployment took a dip in December, with the unemployment rate dropping from a revised 4.5 percent down to 4.4 percent, and the unemployment level from 7.78 million down to 7.5 million, falling 278,000. This is great news for the economy, and could mean — although only time will tell — that peak unemployment might have been reached in November. For the current cycle, the unemployment level is currently up 1.75 million since January 2023, 1.3 million of which happened before President Trump was sworn into office.

“Looking at real-time data, continued jobless claims increased the week of December 27 by 56,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis and 323,000 on an unadjusted basis, but that’s rather normal right after Christmas. There could still be a little bit of time left on the cycle, and depending how the population adjustment is ascertained this month, next month’s jobs report could also show further uptick. The longest period for increasing unemployment in modern history was 39 months, from March 1989 to June 1992 when it rose 3.8 million to 10 million, so the current trend is bound to end likely sooner rather than later, if it did not just end altogether. That’s the good news, which is, whatever weakness economically arose out of the great inflation of the Biden era should almost be over.

“More good news comes from average weekly earnings, which are growing on an annual basis of 3.75 percent, still outpacing the current inflation rate of 2.7 percent.

“Going forward, if unemployment continues falling, more Americans will be finding jobs, moving into new rentals, buying homes and spending more money, and demand will increase. That’s usually when inflation begins to heat up again. How that manifests itself will depend greatly on the supply side of the equation. Are we growing more food? Breeding more cows? Overall, are markets being flooded with goods in the supplies necessary to keep inflation cool or to even help prices to fall? And will incomes and wages continue to stay ahead of inflation, as they have since mid-2023? If so, then the worst might be behind us, but it could still be a little while before the American people feel it.”

Jan. 8, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to resign in disgrace:

“The nation once again reaches a boiling point, with the lame duck Minnesota Governor Tim Walz talking about being at war with the federal government, prohibited by 18 U.S. Code Sec. 253, as he attempts to officially obstruct federal authority, as if enforcing federal immigration and other laws was waging ‘war’ on the states. When asked how he planned to use the National Guard, which he now has on stand-by, Walz said, ‘We’ve never been at war with our federal government.’ What an irresponsible thing for a governor to say. Walz is saying he wants to use the National Guard against the federal government. Why?

“In the course of detaining a suspect who was obstructing federal law enforcement activity, prohibited by 18 U.S. Code Sec. 111, in Minneapolis with her SUV, an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officer used deadly force as the woman was using her SUV to speed into the officer who was standing directly in front of the vehicle while she was being detained. The event was captured on video and shows the woman initiating her vehicle’s accelerator while officers were surrounding the car, including the officer who was positioned right in front of the SUV. It was reasonable for the officer to believe this was attempted murder of a federal agent, prohibited by 18 U.S. Code Sec. 1113.

“Federal officers cannot tackle an SUV. A car is a potentially deadly weapon. She was not engaged in self-defense, the officer was. If you are being surrounded by law enforcement and they’re drawing their weapons, the only thing to do is put your hands up and surrender, not hit the gas pedal. If you’re standing directly in front of a vehicle and the person driving jams on their accelerator, your life is in danger no question.

“In this case, the officer appears to have used appropriate force pursuant to Department of Homeland Security policies, including 2023’s Update to the Department Policy on the Use of Force that states, ‘DHS [Law Enforcement Officers] LEOs may use deadly force only when necessary, that is when the LEO has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to the LEO or to another person.’

“Many commentators have suggested the woman was attempting to flee. But deadly force also applies even if the suspect is attempting to escape, as explicitly noted by the policy, ‘deadly force is authorized to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect where the LEO has a reasonable belief that the subject poses a significant threat of death or serious physical harm to the LEO or others and such force is necessary to prevent escape…’ This absolutely comes into play because the officer was standing directly in front of her vehicle, and who followed his training to protect his own life and anyone else who might have been struck by the vehicle.

“This was a preventable tragedy. It was preventable because nobody should be obstructing federal law enforcement activities. The states could help, but they aren’t. And these kinds of tragedies, and much worse, are what have happened when the states refuse to cooperate with the federal government.

“Walz could have said he was going to assist federal law enforcement to get illegal aliens and others who are defrauding the federal government and taxpayers of billions of dollars, maintain order as officers execute their duties and to above all keep radical agitators away from federal law enforcement. Instead, he joined the ICE obstructors and said he would use the Guard to wage war against the federal government. Is he nuts?

“It’s also untrue. ‘We’ve never been at war with our federal government?’ States definitely were at war with the federal government in the Civil War. It’s happened before and hundreds of thousands of Americans died because states would not submit to federal authority. You think Ukraine looks bad? Well, that’s what civil wars look like. It could happen again, with the most likely cause and historically the only cause ever for a civil war here was states rebelling against the federal government. It’s fair to say Democrats hate Donald Trump just as much as they hated Abraham Lincoln. To prevent a war, the President should first communicate with the Governor directly in a meaningful way. Have a meeting, call or something. Let’s talk this out. And then immediately take action to federalize the National Guard in Minnesota as Walz’ actions appear to be to deliberately provoke war. Walz doesn’t want to enforce the law, leaving the President with little choice. But it’s also worth considering the Governor appears to want Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and federalize the Guard for political reasons apparently because it polls well for Democrats and energizes their voters. In 2020, the President failed to use the Guard to stop the riots. The Civil War started for political reasons, too. Walz has lost his mind, and he should resign but he can just sit in the Governor’s mansion and watch while the President does his job for him and enforces the laws. Put the fuse out before it gets lit, Mr. President.”

Jan. 5, 2026, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement urging approval of the Netflix-Warner Brothers Discovery merger by the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission:

“The proposed merger of Netflix and Warner Brothers Discovery will help American consumers save money on their ever expanding monthly streaming budgets and make Warner’s library of titles more widely available than ever before. It will also keep the Warner and Discovery studios owned independently of Disney, Paramount and Universal, ensuring all four remain competitive, dramatically reducing anti-trust concerns and protecting Warner and Discovery workers who still work at the studios. Similarly, the marketplace for streaming options will remain competitive as Netflix competes with Amazon, Disney, Paramount, Apple and so forth. Finally, and most importantly, the deal puts America first by keeping iconic and historic American cinema — spanning generations of beloved films and franchises — under American ownership.”

Dec. 18, 2025, Fairfax, Va.—A chorus of conservative content creators are sharing a new whitepaper from Americans for Limited Government (ALG) that shows the stark disconnect between labor union bosses and the workers they claim to represent.  In fact, unions, like the Teamsters and others, are promoting a narrow agenda that ignores the real concerns of workers.

The report shows that while President Donald Trump captured the vote of millions of working-class Americans with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, leaders of the nation’s biggest labor unions have actively worked against the president and his MAGA agenda.

What conservative voices are saying about the new findings from ALG:

Dave Bondy on TikTok: “I have been looking at a new report from Americans for Limited Government about how union leadership is using member dues. The group says a significant amount of that money is being directed towards political activity that many everyday workers, just like many of you watching this, may not even realize they are funding.”

April Silverman on Instagram: “Look, most people don’t know this, but union bosses are using worker’s money to attack the very candidate most of their members support, and it needs to be said plainly… Some unions are even bankrolling lawfare against [President Trump].”

Ruohan Ding on TikTok: “A devastating report by Americans for Limited Government details how the leaders of the nation’s biggest workers unions, whose members include a large number of Trump supporters, have been channeling vast amounts of union funds collected by mandatory members fees to support Democrats in orchestrating these political efforts aimed at taking down Trump.”

Ivory Hecker on Facebook: “Union workers used to be solidly Democrat, but in the past decade, Trump has successfully shifted a ton of these union workers over to the Republican party. Now, there is a huge disconnect between the workers themselves, who have no choice but to pay dues, and the bosses in charge of those unions who are using their dues against Trump.”

Jeffrey McGlothin on Instagram: “Remember in 2024 when union workers overwhelming supported Donald Trump, but the unions themselves wouldn’t make an endorsement? … Americans for Limited Government were able to uncover that over 90% of political contributions from unions go to people that oppose Donald Trump. Weird, I thought unions were supposed to support the workers?”

Brett Moore on Facebook: “Union leaders are funneling money into fights that are again lowering taxes, energy independence, and strong American jobs. That’s not representation. That’s straight up abuse. Millions of union members supported President Trump because of his policies that helped working Americans. But now the same union bosses are using your dues to silence your voice and undermine the very agenda you voted for.”

Dec. 9, 2025, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement supporting President Donald Trump’s $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program in response to unfair trade practices from abroad:

“President Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to protect American industries including agriculture from unfair trade practices, subsidies, dumping and tariffs from abroad that have hurt U.S. farmers and other industries for decades. For years, trade partners have waged a trade war on the U.S., but we had forgotten how to fight back, until President Trump delivered us the most pro-American trade agenda in modern history. The $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance Program is an important stage of the Make America Great Again agenda that puts America first by putting American farmers first.

“The program is practically identical to the $28 billion 2018-2019 Market Facilitation Program, and both are authorized by Congress under 15 U.S. Code Sec. 714c, the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, to make direct payments to farmers who are harmed by foreign trade practices and barriers. The Commodity Credit Corporation was established by Congress to ‘Support the prices of agricultural commodities (other than tobacco) through loans, purchases, payments, and other operations.’

“Congress has the long-settled power — now delegated to all presidents — to spend money via the Commodity Credit Corporation it also had the power to create on agriculture and other industries to support the general welfare, to regulate international trade — trade subsidies are used globally to create trade advantage — and ultimately to protect national security by preventing agricultural depressions (historically, those have led to the collapse of governments), and this is one of the manners in which it chose to do so. That is the power of the purse that Congress has authorized presidents to use — and President Trump is now wisely putting the money to use just as he did during his first administration to support his America first trade agenda by increasing domestic supplies. Many aspects of the New Deal were struck down, but spending money wasn’t one of them.

“In practice, the payments should make it easier for farmers to boost production and help bring food prices down in the wake of the Covid and post-Covid expansion of the money supply and simultaneous contraction of global production that fueled the inflation seen since 2021 and 2022 that is still being felt by the American people.

“Like all other countries, we desperately need to boost production, but very similarly, with such a short memory everyone has forgotten the temporary global supply chain crisis price shock caused by the pandemic and the pandemic response that caused the inflation in the first place — except for President Trump. You have all forgotten that shutting down the country has years-long consequences, and this is one of them.

“Americans for Limited Government has long supported a zero-for-zero approach for agricultural subsidies. That is, when other countries stop subsidizing their exports, then maybe we will, too. But there is no agreement to do that and so today subsidies are the cost of doing business. If you just went back to Joe Biden’s tariff levels, all the foreign farm subsidies would still be there, hurting our ability to boost domestic production and bring down prices. Biden was wasting the Commodity Credit Corporation on fighting climate change, and doing nothing to bring down food prices or even advance the U.S. trade position. President Trump, once again, has corrected that problem. They broke it, and he’s fixing it.

“Every day the President’s critics in Congress failingly try to knock down the President’s trade program but some of you obviously don’t know much about it, or do know and are falsely misrepresenting it to the future detriment of all presidents. The President needs to be able to do this when necessary. Just the framing of this issue to serve some failed globalist, liberal, free trade narrative that trade adjustment assistance is somehow a response to U.S. tariffs when it’s the opposite, it’s a response to foreign tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers Congress has long since granted the President the authority to regulate international trade via the Necessary and Proper Clause to counter with tariffs, sanctions, subsidies and everything else that strong, sovereign countries have utilized for centuries, and from his absolute Article II responsibility to engage in foreign discourse, make commercial agreements with other countries and protect the U.S. economy, all of which the Supreme Court would be very wise to uphold in its coming tariff decision. That’s a big one.

“Either way, one of the ways foreign governments exert and will continue to exert trade advantage particularly in agriculture is via subsidies. President Trump is restoring the U.S. trade position globally versus our competitors, and, yes, there’s this thing called competition. America forgot how to compete and that the U.S. has a strong interest or any interest at all for that matter in defending our economic borders and our producers against unfair foreign trade practices. We must be able to control the domestic food supply and push prices down. No serious person would object to that. It is vitally important. We’d still be living in the stone age if it wasn’t for agriculture, and in the modern world, cheap food is the best anti-poverty program ever devised.

“President Trump’s commitment to agriculture is one of the ways farmers will be able to afford to boost domestic production and reduce food prices. Every day the President’s critics all complain about inflation but then mindlessly work against the policies that increase supplies and bring down food prices. It’s called supply and demand. With $12 billion for farmers, President Trump is by definition boosting domestic food production to bring down prices and you’re all senselessly wringing your hands about prices. Make up your minds already. Boost production and supplies or not? Everyone against boosting production is pro-inflation. Thankfully, President Trump is teaching the next generation of leaders how to run a country. You can thank him later.”
