@govacctproj.bsky.social. Grateful to be a lawyer/advocate for #whistleblower heroes. Tweets mine only.
Hearing employees exercise ethical courage by choosing to blow the whistle on illegality & abuses of power still gives me the chills, followed by the will to keep fighting for them. Democracy depends on whistleblowers like @govacctproj.bsky.social client Erez Reuveni: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/p...

#Whistleblowers like DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni are heroes standing up for the rule of law and democracy. Proud to help him and other employees of conscience defend their rights to tell the truth about illegality and abuses of power and seek justice for reprisal w/ my team @govacctproj.bsky.social
🗞️ THIS JUST IN: DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni says senior Trump official Emil Bove suggested defying court orders to carry out deportations.

Our team represents Reuveni—and what he uncovered is alarming.

@protectdemocracy.org is representing @govacctproj.bsky.social and NARFE in a lawsuit to protect the rights of civil servants--including their #whistleblower rights. Nonpartisan civil servants are guardrails against abuses; we ALL need them to be protected against retaliation for speaking up.
Protect Democracy & Selendy Gay PLLC, today, filed suit in U.S. Dist. Court of D.C. on behalf of the Government Accountability Project, and National Active & Retired Federal Employees Assoc., challenging the Trump Admin’s attempt to dismantle a federal civil service rooted in merit & integrity. 1/7

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for gathering me from @govacctproj.bsky.social; @nteunion.bsky.social, @democracyforward.bsky.social & @AFGE to educate federal workers about their rights & options. This was more than a webinar. 👇
Americans are confused, scared and angered by President Trump’s escalating attacks on our independent, professional and dedicated civil service.

That's why I convened top federal workforce experts for this emergency webinar sharing crucial information.

So proud that @govacctproj.bsky.social's is the fiscal sponsor of Justice Connection, a vital new project launched to empower DOJ alums to support embattled DOJ employees and support the need for an apolitical DOJ filled with experienced, dedicated civil servants. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/u...
New Group Aims to Help Justice Dept. Employees Alarmed by Trump
The group, Justice Connection, intends to support employees who say they are facing professional and ethical crises under the new administration. It is likely to come under attack from Trump allies.

Whistleblowers keep America honest, so keep them safe | Opinion . Grateful for my colleagues @GovAcctProj who work with me every day to protect #whistleblowers to help ensure that #truthmatters. And most grateful, of course, to the #whistleblowers.

Women in this country are denied choice about their bodies not just b/c of #Dobbs but for those women in ICE detention who were subjected to nonconsensual, invasive gynecological procedures. It is horrifying & #whistleblower Dawn Wooten is a f'ing hero. Thank you @SenOssoff

Tomorrow & in the coming days, democracy is not just on the ballot, it is the ballot. @GovAcctProj created a free guide to help election workers know their rights if they see any threats to our midterm elections.

Election workers committed to the nonpartisan administration of our elections are in the best position to ensure this isn't our last free election. @GovAcctProj wrote this guide to have their backs so if they see shenanigans they can say something:
