Trump went after Tish James and James Comey because he can’t stand anyone who tells the truth and holds him accountable—and today, the judge made it clear that the courtroom isn’t his personal revenge tour.

The time to be loud is now. We're honored that Maggie Rogers joined us alongside other incredible musicians for the Creatives for Freedom concert, a night of music that benefitted the work of the ACLU.

What I told Spectrum last week still holds: I remain hopeful that the Supreme Court will agree with the District Court that the Trump/Abbott map, which is so damaging to Austin, constitutes an illegal racial gerrymander. It should not be used in 2026.

With a new generation of American leadership we can turn the page on this dark and divided era.

The Trump regime can neither keep its lies straight, nor ever do enough to help war criminal Putin to whom it has apparently outsourced preparing a plan for Ukrainian surrender.

Wisdom from Charles Schulz.

It is not treason or sedition to remind our military to follow the law and their oaths — it is patriotism. That Trump called for the deaths of Democratic officials in response underscores the need for such warnings.

Trump's EPA is moving to strip protections from wetlands all across the country. This rule will have disastrous consequences for many American communities by polluting their drinking water and skyrocketing water treatment costs for taxpayers.

Apple and Google have immense power to shape what content is available on our smartphones. When they cave to government pressure to remove certain apps, politicians get to shape how we communicate. We should be in control of what happens on our own phones — not the government or corporations.

Today’s letter to TX Senators—let’s all contact our Representatives & tell them our democracy is at stake

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for banning transgender federal employees from using the restroom that aligns with their gender. This needless and discriminatory policy is another effort to push trans people out of public life — but we aren't going anywhere.

Our new report highlights how wrongful convictions are a common feature of the death penalty. Black people are more likely to be wrongfully convicted and executed despite their innocence.

Congresswoman Crockett’s Statement on Federal Court Blocking Texas’ Discriminatory Congressional Maps

Fearmongering was rejected in this election. Voters want real solutions that better our communities, not attacks on abortion access, LGBTQ rights, and other freedoms for every person in the country.

If Trump had the slightest interest in disclosure, he would have told AG Pam Bondi to release them immediately. Today, he covered for himself. Tomorrow, the focus will turn to the Senate. We are still a long way from seeing those secreted files, but today was a big step forward.

I just voted YES to release all Epstein files. After months of intimidation and misinformation, once Trump realized that finally a number of House GOP would no longer protect him, he suddenly granted permission for all of them to vote for release.

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone. Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it. (2/2)

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long. Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays. (1/2)

Alex Padilla lays it plain.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked Texas from implementing its new congressional map that discriminates against voters of color for the 2026 midterm elections. This ruling reaffirms that voters get to choose our politicians, not the other way around.

Faith without works is dead.

We sued the first Trump administration for its cruel practice of separating families and won. Now, Trump is failing to uphold the settlement by continuing this cruel practice and refusing to reunite families. We will continue fighting until all families have the services they need to stay together.

Urge Congress to stop the expansion of the ICE mass detention system, demand access to these facilities, and hold ICE accountable.

BREAKING: Today, in a win for our constitutional rights, a federal judge ruled that DHS and ICE likely violated the Fifth Amendment by denying detained immigrants’ lawful access to their attorneys.

ICE abducted a 57 year old US Citizen and Veteran along with 11 others, outside of the Portland ICE Detention Center. 11/11/25

The UK, our closest ally, stopped sharing intelligence with the Trump Administration about suspected drug boats in the Caribbean because it didn't want to be complicit in their violations of international law. Trump is killing people without due process while undermining the fight against drugs.

A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

There Will Be Dancing in the Street, Pete......

The DOJ is suing to stop California’s redistricting map. Apparently vote approved maps are a problem, but partisan gerrymanders done without public input are just democracy working as intended?

I will continue fighting every single day to protect our kids, our rights, and our history. We should all recommit to honoring Ruby and her bravery by ensuring that all our children, regardless of background, have access to a fair, just, and equal education. (3/3)

Now, we're witnessing an administration attempt to drag us back. Here are the facts: Trump and his billionaire buddies have cut HBCU funding, limited Pell grants, and attacked DEI. (2/3)

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation. (1/3)

In a win for justice, Tremane Wood was granted clemency today, saving his life.

Let’s be clear: the hold-up isn’t on our side. This was his campaign promise—so he needs to go ahead and fulfill it. Release the files. All of them.

With Rep. Adelita Grijalva finally sworn in, she’ll be the final signature on the discharge petition to force a vote to release the full Epstein files. While December is the best-case scenario, GOP will surely try to delay or block it. I’ll continue to push for the justice these survivors deserve.

We know military troops on our streets don't keep our communities safe, yet taxpayers are footing the bill for President Trump's reckless and unnecessary National Guard deployments. Congress must act.

Barbara Cameron was a Hunkpapa Lakota artist and pillar of the San Francisco community who advocated for lesbian and Two-Spirit people, people with HIV/AIDS, and women impacted by violence. In 1975, she co-founded Gay American Indians, the first association for gay Native Americans in the U.S.

While I am pleased that those who suffered during the shutdown are getting some relief, this shameful bill completely abandons the millions of hardworking citizens who are likely to soon lose access to a physician.

After enacting the largest health care cut in American history, Trump and Republicans now seek to replace Obamacare with Nothingcare.

The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear this case says it all. They keep trying to take us backward, but we’re not going. Love always wins.

NEW: We just filed an amicus brief with other free speech groups urging the Supreme Court to maintain the block on President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago. Our First Amendment right to protest must be protected.

Too much is never enough when it comes to rewarding the wealthy and well-connected in Trump’s inner circle. Trump is now gutting the law that says the largest corporations must pay at least a minimal amount of tax on the profits they report to investors. Outrageous!
