While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth — a reminder of the ongoing fight for freedom, justice, and equity.

We recommit to using the law to dismantle injustice and build a democracy that truly serves us all.

Project 2025 is in action – but so are we.

We’ve sued the Trump-Vance administration 70+ times over their attempts to institute Project 2025 policies and we’re winning in court on behalf of the American people.

BREAKING: Judge blocks President Trump’s unconstitutional campaign to radically restructure and dismantle the federal government.

This ruling is one of many that prove Elon Musk, DOGE, and even the president himself are not above the rule of law and the will of the American people.

The American public understands the difference between being deported and being sent to a foreign prison.

Right now, a mass murderer in a maximum security American prison has more rights than the people being sent to CECOT for a lifetime sentence.

In a quixotic attempt to increase employment in the manufacturing sector (13m jobs), Trump has cratered the tourism industry (18m jobs).
