President Trump's intervention to force the criminal prosecution of James Comey—who he views as a political opponent—is a blaring alarm for our democracy. Political prosecution won't stop here unless we all speak up and call this what it is: unacceptable and antidemocratic.

President Trump's deployment of the DC National Guard to patrol national monuments, pick up trash and shovel mulch in its home city is projected to cost taxpayers $201 million. That's more than $1.8 million per day.

It is hard to overstate how dangerous for democracy the indictment of former FBI Director Comey is. The President of the United States specifically called for prosecution of perceived political opponents, including Comey, calling them guilty before trial or even indictment. 🧵

The Supreme Court must deny the Trump administration's attempt to block a lower court order requiring the release of foreign aid Congress already approved. The Impoundment Control Act is clear: Congress has the power of the purse, NOT the president.

The fact that the president and his allies are attacking sitting federal judges is concerning. That's why, in the midst of these threats, 42 former judges published a letter defending an “independent judiciary, free from political pressure.”

NEW: Trump's OMB is still controlling agency spending in secret despite a court order requiring transparency—and they're doing it by abusing footnotes. Today, we asked the Court to ensure that OMB makes all of this information public.

Congress has already appropriated money to foreign aid. And the president doesn't have the authority to withhold those funds through their expiration date. We've let the courts know.

More 👏 of 👏 this 👏 Members of Congress are signaling that they're serious about banning congressional stock trading. Now it's time they get it done. www.notus.org/congress/jul...

Stephen Miran was confirmed for a posting to the Federal Reserve Board, despite not resigning as a White House economic advisor. The Fed is designed to operate independently from partisan politics. This posting could threaten that independence.

CREW recently filed an amicus brief on behalf of Rep. Rosa DeLauro in a Supreme Court case over frozen foreign aid funds that Congress already approved. Here's what you should know. 🧵

NEW: We just sent a letter to Chief Justice Roberts and the Judicial Conference urging them to examine the US Marshal Service's role in protecting judicial independence at their upcoming meeting.

Today is Constitution Day—the anniversary of the signing that gave us the blueprint for democracy. The Constitution isn’t just history. It’s the rulebook for how our government must serve the people. 🧵

Election officials have checked the citizenship status of over 33 million voters using a controversial tool offered by the Trump administration. Where's the data going? Is the data protected? How accurate is the system? We need transparency now.

The USMS's current placement within the executive branch raises concerns for judicial independence. That's why we're urging the Judicial Conference to discuss the possibility of the judiciary having control over judicial security at its upcoming meeting.

If the Trump administration does not change its secretive ways and commit to the transparency it touts publicly, then the courts, and the American people, must step up and ensure that we’re not all left in the dark.

NEW: We just sent a letter to Chief Justice Roberts and the Judicial Conference urging them to examine the US Marshal Service's role in protecting judicial independence at their upcoming meeting.

We filed a brief with Rep. Rosa DeLauro urging the Supreme Court to reject the Trump administration's attempt to block a lower court order releasing foreign aid Congress approved. The law is clear: Congress decides where the money goes.

NEW: We filed a brief, on behalf of Rep. Rosa DeLauro, urging the Supreme Court to reject the Trump admin’s attempt to block a lower court order requiring the release of foreign aid that Congress approved. Congress controls the purse, not the president.

Members of Congress are elected to serve the public, not their stock portfolios. But questionable actions by them keep showing what’s at stake when lawmakers have the ability to trade on insider info. A ban on congressional stock trading cannot wait any longer.🧵

The National Guard has assessed that its deployment in the DC takeover is "leveraging fear" and driving a "wedge between citizens and the military." Clearly, Trump's actions are further weakening an already shaky public trust in government institutions.

NEW: Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in LA lacks justification from American history or judicial precedent. We filed an amicus brief asking the 9th Circuit to affirm the lower court's temporary restraining order blocking these actions.

Political violence is never acceptable.

End the federal takeover in DC. DC statehood now!

Trump is hosting the 2026 G20 Summit at his Doral resort, which will require world leaders to literally pay him tribute. Despite claims he won't profit from it, it will generate priceless publicity to his business. That's beyond corrupt...

An independent judiciary provides an essential check on abuse of power. If Trump were to successfully cow courts, our entire system of government would be undermined, and our rights would be forever less secure.

Crypto billionaires are paying to shape policies that affect us all—bending politics to serve their interests, no matter the cost to the public good. It's a massive problem that should concern every American.

Trump officially announced that the 2026 G20 summit will be held at his Doral resort. He claims he won't profit from it, but bringing world leaders to his own property will bring incalculable publicity and free advertising to his business. So corrupt.

NEW: We sent a letter to Congress urging them to pass House Joint Resolution 115, which would end the DC emergency declared by Trump via executive order—ending the takeover. Congress must stand up against this attack on DC and the Constitution.

Courts are fulfilling their constitutional responsibility by refusing to bless blatantly unlawful EO's and calling out defiance of their orders. That's why Trump has effectively declared war on the courts—risking the backbone of our justice system.

BREAKING: A bipartisan group of members of Congress have come to a compromise on a bill to ban congressional stock trading. This is a hugely popular reform and it's encouraging that Congress is finally listening. Now it's time to get it passed!
