Courageous Conservatives PAC to Rep. Pat Curry Ahead of June 6 Hearing: You Can’t Sue Your Way Out of Accountability

Courageous Conservative PAC

The Courageous Conservatives Political Action Committee, dedicated to electing leaders who uphold the values of sovereignty, strength, and principled conservative governance, will argue against a baseless “SLAPP” lawsuit brought by Rep. Pat Curry in court this week. Courageous Conservatives PAC is confident the court will recognize Curry’s attempt to sue critics into silence for what it is: a politically motivated attempt to suppress free speech and silence grassroots conservatives. “This lawsuit isn’t about the law. It’s about power.” said Chris Ekstrom, Chairman of Courageous Conservatives PAC, “Pat Curry is trying to use the courts to muzzle those who dare to hold him accountable and remind him of the promises he made to his constituents. That’s not justice—that’s political retribution.” The Courageous Conservatives PAC has moved to dismiss the suit under the Texas Citizens Participation Act, citing its clear protections of free speech, the right to petition, and freedom of association. The communications in question—texts and Facebook posts—were fully independent and directed solely to the public, urging civic participation on an important issue: the election of the Texas House Speaker. “Our message to Pat Curry’s district and specifically the voters who elected him was straightforward,” Ekstrom added. “’Call Representative Curry and demand he keep his word’. That’s not just legal political messaging; it is how the American Republic was intended to function.” Curry’s lawyers filed a response to the motion last week. “Despite two months to think about it, amazingly, Curry’s lawyers made no attempt to explain why any of their claims have legal merit,” said Jerad Najvar of Chalmers, Adams, Backer & Kaufman LLC. “Our motion explained, point by point, why the PAC’s speech was legal and complied with Texas law. Instead of defending the substance of his frivolous claims, Curry makes the desperate argument that speech on an issue of public concern by a conservative group is somehow ‘commercial speech’ because the PAC paid to distribute it—and therefore not subject to dismissal under the TCPA. Curry’s argument wholly ignores decades of speech law.” “Rep. Curry’s lawsuit is meritless, and frankly, dangerous,” Ekstrom said. “It sets a chilling precedent if public officials can sue private citizens and organizations simply for encouraging civic engagement. We’re not backing down—and neither should any American who believes in the First Amendment.” Courageous Conservatives PAC is also seeking attorney’s fees and sanctions in response to the frivolous and retaliatory suit. “Our commitment to conservative values and political accountability will not be intimidated into silence,” said Ekstrom. “We will continue to defend the rights of the people to speak out and demand integrity from their elected officials—no matter who tries to stop us.” The hearing is scheduled for Friday, June 6, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. The Court is located at 501 Washington Ave., Waco, TX 76701. Interviews with Chris Ekstrom will be available in advance of and following the hearing. About Courageous Conservatives PAC Courageous Conservatives PAC is a grassroots-driven political action committee dedicated to electing principled conservative leaders who will fight for American values, national sovereignty, and an America First agenda. Led by Chairman Chris Ekstrom, the PAC works to ensure that the voices of patriotic Americans are heard — not silenced — locally and nationwide. ### For more information, or to schedule an interview with Chris Ekstrom please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details Courageous Conservatives PAC Dan Rene +1 202-329-8359 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://courageouspac.com/

Inspira Technologies Receives $2 Price Target and Buy Rating: Everything You Need to Know

Global Markets News

Litchfield Hills Research has initiated coverage of Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN)* with a Buy rating and a $2 price target, representing potential upside of over 225% from current trading levels of around $0.61 per share. This bullish outlook comes as the medical technology company continues to critical care technology addressing what the analyst describes as "a medical need without good options." The analyst notes that mechanical ventilators are "WWII technology in desperate need of an upgrade" with reports showing that 30% to 50% of ICU patients don't survive. Unlike mechanical ventilation, Inspira's ART500 technology would enable patients to remain awake during treatment while stabilizing oxygen levels without intubation and coma. What distinguishes Inspira from typical early-stage medical device companies is its proven regulatory execution and early commercial success. The company's first generation technology, the INSPIRA ART100 system, received FDA clearance in May 2024 and is already deployed in leading U.S. hospitals. The excitement around this technology reached a new high in April 2025 when the first successful patient treatment was completed at Westchester Medical Center. The commercial momentum seems to be accelerating. Inspira announced it received payment in the "low hundreds of thousands of dollars" from its U.S. distributor for delivered systems, marking the company's first revenues. CEO Dagi Ben-Noon called this "a transformative milestone for Inspira as we establish our presence in the U.S. medical landscape." The company has now initiated global commercial rollout discussions and expects additional deliveries in the second half of 2025. Central to Inspira's technology platform is the AI-powered HYLA blood sensor, which recently achieved 96% accuracy in clinical studies at Sheba Medical Center, one of the world's top hospitals. The system provides continuous monitoring without requiring blood draws, targeting the blood gas analyzer market projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2030. The analyst identifies massive market opportunities, with the global mechanical ventilators market expected to reach $20.69 billion by 2034. Inspira's flagship INSPIRA ART500 system in development aims to disrupt this market by providing respiratory support through direct blood oxygenation rather than forcing air into damaged lungs. Inspira has established strong intellectual property protection with multiple U.S. patents and novel patent claims protecting its core technologies. The company is executing a strategic approach of securing FDA clearance for individual components before integrating them into comprehensive systems. When comparing Inspira to similar medical device companies, the analyst found the stock trades at significant discounts despite having FDA-cleared technology already treating patients. The $2 price target reflects confidence in the company's ability to capitalize on its early commercial success and expand into the massive mechanical ventilation market. The analyst concludes that Inspira may represents a unique opportunity, combining proven FDA-cleared technology with substantial market opportunity and attractive valuation metrics in the high-growth medical device sector. Recent News from Inspira: Inspira Technologies Initiates Global Commercial Rollout of FDA-Cleared ART100 System INSPIRA ART100 System Approved by Israel's Largest Healthcare Provider for Use in Organ Transplant Patients Inspira Achieves above 99% Gas Exchange Efficiency in VORTX™ Technology In-Vivo Animal Testing * Legal Disclaimer & Disclosure: Nothing in this article constitutes financial or investment advice, nor does it represent an offer to buy or sell securities.

Sardius Media Powers Gather25

Digifora

Sardius Media was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. It exists to make mission-driven broadcasting and online event planning easier and more engaging. This is done through its first-in-class media platform as well as elite support from its experienced team of veteran software engineers and event specialists. Learn more at sardius.media. Sardius Media Powers Gather25 Sardius Media helped broadcast Gather25 for a non-stop 25-hour marathon on March 1, 2025. In that time, seven million Christians tuned in from around the globe. The event marked the debut and first full-scale test of Sardius Media’s AWS Elemental Anywhere, which amplified the reach of the event to 225 countries, providing live streaming and real-time AI and human interpretation in 87 different languages. The Global Impact of Gather25 Gather25 made history as an unprecedented 25-hour global broadcast uniting millions of Christians in prayer, worship, repentance, and commissioning. The broadcast streamed live sessions from seven locations in the United States, New Zealand, Malaysia, Romania, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, and Peru. This reached an audience of over 3.1 million unique users and over 21,000 self-organized gatherings (with a potential group reach of over seven million). These included a Dzaleka refugee camp in Malawi and 5,000 individuals gathered outdoors in Cebu City, Philippines. Notably, 117,000 U.S. prison inmates participated through the PandoApp from God Behind Bars. Amy Bay, Executive Director of Gather25, said, “What we saw at Gather25 was a picture of heaven — believers from every nation, tribe, and language coming together with one mission: to make Jesus known. We are so grateful to the Sardius team for the broadcast technology to pull it all together; it wouldn’t have happened without them.” Jonathan Sheehan (Future City Now, Renewed Vision), the producer of the event, said, "For decades, I’ve been producing large-scale events, and by any measure, Gather25 was a monumental undertaking. The sheer scope of the event, paired with the complexity of the technological challenges, demanded more than just vendors—we needed true partners. That’s exactly what we found in the Sardius team. Their skilled professionals dove into the trenches with us, collaborating tirelessly to bring this vision to life. The resulting millions who joined the event is a testament to a great partnership.” Architecting a Historical Broadcast Sardius Media was presented with a complex challenge to deliver a seamless broadcast delivery experience to this large global audience. In addition, they had to support real-time translation of AI and human interpretation in 87 different languages with a wide array of delivery options, including live interpreters, AI closed captions, voice interpretation, and core broadcast streams. Encoding numerous concurrent streams for such a long broadcast was a unique challenge, as well. The Sardius Team came together with event partner Future City Now to develop a global design aesthetic for the event. This incorporated complex workflows to seamlessly deliver the right content to the right audience in real time. Sardius Media accomplished this by leveraging AWS’s new Elemental MediaLive Anywhere product for its first large-scale deployment. They collaborated closely with the AWS team to ensure flawless performance and maintained this even when the popular Bible App YouVersion notified 36 million users to join the event, leading to a robust response. The AWS-powered streaming infrastructure managed the complexities without skipping a beat, delivering a resilient, scalable live stream for more than a full day and carrying the hope-filled message of Gather25 to every corner of the earth. Overcoming Unexpected Challenges With Agility and Innovation One challenge from Gather25 demonstrated the Sardius Media team’s agility in implementing its solutions and adapting to real-time barriers. Less than 24 hours before the event, the main fiber circuit into the studio master control was severed by an unexpected car accident. Sardius Media swiftly coordinated with various partners, secured alternate internet solutions, and rerouted encoder traffic. This ensured the stream was ready on time. Other unexpected challenges arose during the live stream, but each was efficiently addressed by the experienced Sardius team. Jason Shore, co-founder of Sardius Media, reflected on the milestone achievement, saying, “Gather25 pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in live streaming. Our team’s ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver under pressure made this a defining moment — not just for us, but for the global Church.” Gather25 showcased Sardius Media’s leadership in live streaming for mission-driven events — and this is just the beginning. Upcoming product updates and their continued AWS partnership promise even more innovation for future gatherings.
