"They're firing the judges because they think they're not going to need them. Instead of empowering the courts to process more cases, the administration appears to be eviscerating the system to potentially undermine legal proceedings altogether."

We are a peaceful, nonviolent movement, because that’s what’s most effective at taking down tyrants.

But we WILL drop F bombs.

Listen to Robert De Niro “King Donald The First. F*ck that.”

In 8 days we RISE to say No F*cking Kings!

Mikie Sherrill respects hard work, family values, and economic growth. Her commitment to accountability, public safety, and good-paying jobs aligns with New Jersey’s proud traditions. She’s a leader who honors our values while moving us forward.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

This baseless indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James is yet another part of Donald Trump’s corrupt weaponization of the criminal justice system against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.
