New on the CLC Blog: The Libertarian Case for Expanding the House of Representatives: A Clarification to the Confusion This is not about making government bigger. It is about making political power harder to capture. lpclc.org/2026/08/14/the-lib…

We elect leaders based on trust, yet many govern at our expense. Holding them accountable is crucial. Our vote matters; let's use it wisely this November. Shout out to Zuriel Nayamutsaka and @thescforum for the distinction. #VoteBetter #1MillionKnow #Accountability #VoteSmart

“The whole of civilized society is based on the principle that people should be allowed to do what they like until good reason is shown to the contrary.” - Edwin Cannan 👀

If we’re considering a counterfactual in which the Jones Act never existed, why rule out the possibility that US shipyards, including smaller ones on the Gulf Coast, would have become stronger and more competitive? That the US is the world’s #2 manufacturer yet ranked #19 in commercial shipbuilding output last year shows the law has not set a terribly high bar to improve upon. Consider the Netherlands, which has no Jones Act–style build requirement, yet has about 20 shipyards that deliver inland vessels each year (and many others that outfit and/or repair them): ccr-zkr.org/files/documents/… Why couldn’t Louisiana and other US yards have found a similar niche?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 25, 2026 Libertarian Party of New York Statement on Dutchess County Withdrawal of Support for Flock Cameras The Libertarian Party of New York commends the residents of Dutchess County who showed up, asked hard questions, and refused to accept a countywide license-plate dragnet as the price of “public safety.” Today’s announcement that District Attorney Anthony Parisi and Sheriff Kirk Imperati are withdrawing support for continued use of Flock Safety technology is not a gift from Albany. It is the result of residents packing community forums, reading contracts, mapping cameras, and insisting that public trust is not optional. Sheriff Imperati put it plainly: public safety depends on public trust. Dutchess residents made that principle impossible to ignore. (Daily Voice) That work did not happen in a vacuum. Dutchess County Libertarians and their neighbors organized locally, showed up at town halls, and kept the pressure on after cameras appeared on private land, after a town contract was quietly signed, and after a real-time crime center began vacuuming plates by the hundreds of thousands. Milan’s vote to temporarily ban this class of surveillance on town property was a first in the county. That is liberty from below. LPNY is proud of the Dutchess County affiliate and of every New Yorker who used deflockny.org to find the cameras on their street, learn who operates them, and tell their officials their thoughts and concerns. Get involved locally: dutchesscountylp.org | lpny.org/affiliates/dutchess. “It is quite evident that the overwhelming opposition to Flock camera and ALPRs in general is a uniting issue in Dutchess County, bridging various party lines. It is great news that our DA, Sheriff and members of the Legislature have pulled their support for these violations of our rights. While it is a good first step, we will continue to monitor the actions of the County government and show up to keep them accountable.”
— Rob Cocomello, Chair, Dutchess County Libertarian Party Automated license plate readers do not wait for a warrant. They do not need suspicion. They log plate, vehicle, time, and place, and the network lets agencies far beyond the county search that record. One camera is a picture. A county of them is a map of daily life. Residents treated that as a political fact, not a technical footnote. This is not a Dutchess-only problem. Yesterday, The Intercept reported that Flock’s real footprint is far larger than the company has advertised, and that Flock is now trying to take down the most detailed public map of it. Flock has told the press it operates more than 120,000 cameras nationwide. A map published by cybersecurity researcher Joshua Michael, built from Flock’s own location records, shows more than 170,000 cameras plus more than 130,000 accompanying devices, about 300,000 Flock surveillance devices across the United States. That map was cited in a Senate hearing the same day. Flock has since moved to have the site taken down. (The Intercept) A vendor that sells warrantless tracking to local government should not get to decide whether the public can see where the hardware is. Dutchess residents already learned that lesson the hard way: cameras on private land, incomplete official maps, and a network that does not stop at the county line. New Yorkers should keep mapping what officials will not. See a camera. Send the tip. If you spot a new reader, a pole that was not there last month, a quiet vote, a private-property install, or misuse of the system, send it to tips@deflockny.org. You can also use the tip form on deflockny.org. They review tips the same way either way. They do not publish who sent them. A mapped camera is harder to hide. An unmapped camera is how these networks grow one town at a time.

Government couldn't launch a working healthcare website. Now it wants to run AI.

Republicans think Libertarians want wars with Iran and Cuba, trade bans, a crashed economy, and government control of private businesses? Wow, no wonder Republicans keep failing to get the Libertarian nomination for President

Absolutely this

“Paid for by the US Taxpayer” is more accurate. And questionably legal.

The Trump administration even scammed ICE agents The story gets better too… The sign-on bonus was immediately taxed 35%, so ICE agents never received 50K. They got around 32-33K, BUT they still have to pay back the full 50K even though they never received the full amount. 😂

Democrats said we were misogynistic because we didn't vote for a woman candidate in 2016. We listened. We learned. In 2020, we voted for a woman candidate. Democrats, misogynistically, refused. Hypocrites.

The opposite is happening. So maybe you’re wrong.

Time to take them to school and teach them the business

It's official. I'll be on stage for the debate with the other two candidates for US Senate in South Carolina. This is a job interview. Let's #votebetter SC. #1millionknow scetv.org/stories/2026/south…

The leftists have won the last few Republican primaries. So yes. We're voting Libertarian to save the country from leftists in the general. Both the Democratic Socialists and the Republican Socialists.

How to speak to your elected “Representatives” – A master class 🔥

Like…. cake????

I would prefer if no one was killing civilians. I don't think the response to the indiscriminate killing of civilians should be airstrikes that kill tens of thousands more civilians. I won't pretend like such actions will bring about peace and stability. Israelis and Palestinians both deserve better than the governments that claim to represent them. And I want to United States to stop funding the cycle of violence.
