This is yet another example of Trump assembling a team of henchmen whose primary qualification is doing his own bidding, rather than serving the nation, to staff the government.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... Sharing this piece based on new @publiccitizen.bsky.social research!

The blatant corruption of a slush fund explicitly for insurrectionists & Trump cronies simply could not be ignored. If the Trump administration drops the fund, as reported, it is simply a nod to the realities of how appalling & toxic this fund truly was. www.citizen.org/news/trumps-...

Amazing work from our great allies at Democracy Defenders!

The price of food and everything else is skyrocketing, so Trump is helping by putting his face on a new bill that will hopefully cover a bag of groceries at the end of his term.

Trump’s DOJ has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, per an exclusive report from CNN. It's a blatant act of political revenge and intimidation against the woman who successfully sued Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. Link to the article in reply.

On point from Jesse Lee!

Fantastic to join this great team to talk about our Trump accountability work!

Virginia was a setback But the math still points to a pro-democracy pickup The South is rising up — protests in Tennessee Alabama & beyond And a national mobilization in Montgomery is set for May 16 The movement is growing and here's how to join on my Publisher's note on @contrariannews.org -TN

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states. The people decided in VA and this is appalling.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! ALL EYES ON ALABAMA! Amid tornado sirens, flooding, and evacuations, the AL State Senate rammed through a bill to disenfranchise voters and strip representation But ppl are still showing up b/c this is an attack on us all & our democracy -TN

Reconciliation text drops. In addition to the 70 B we do NOT need for more ICE cruelty, Rs tacked on 1 billion for the corrupt corporate ballroom… www.judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/re...

NEW: The Clean Budget Coalition has reviewed the six FY 27 spending bills that have been released so far. House Republicans have already added more than 125 new poison pills to these bills. Congress must remove all of these toxic, harmful, and unpopular measures from any final package.

www.reuters.com/world/us/tru... Casey Means should never have been appointed and the end of her confirmation push is a clear win for public health in a dangerous moment.

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

Great piece from @Peter Nicholas of @nbcnews.com Trump uses the Correspondents' dinner shooting to renew his White House ballroom push www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... I close with: "The argument is an absurdity. No one would expect the president to be locked in a bunker for all events."

Public Citizen’s Rick Claypool documents how Big Tech firms have engaged in deliberate campaigns to ingratiate themselves with the Trump administration, heaping excessive praise on the President while going along with his unpopular and authoritarian policies.

As our co-president @lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social put it, "this is a craven attempt to silence dissent" by Trump's authoritarian administration. We condemn this appalling move, and we stand in solidarity with the @splcenter.org

Read our co-president @lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social’s op-ed: dcjournal.com/republican-p...

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie. The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative. False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants. Reality: “We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."

dcjournal.com/republican-p... As the new GOP budget resolution drops, it shows how out of touch the GOP is with what Americans want. We don't want to invest 140M in ICE...we want affordable healthcare, groceries and housing.

www.citizen.org/news/pam-bon... I testified against Bondi saying she was riddled w conflicts of interest, we watched her abuse and undermine DOJ, and now she is out. If she isn’t “loyal enough” who is?

This EO is an attempt to create additional barriers for Americans seeking to cast their ballots. Trump is a hypocrite who uses mail in voting. But what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander when voter suppression is the goal. This EO is inappropriate, undemocratic, & unconstitutional

In an important win for free speech... apnews.com/article/trum... First Amendment, federal judge blocks Trump order to end funding for NPR and PBS

Our new report shows that Trump’s Medicaid cuts threaten hundreds of hospitals with closure: www.citizen.org/news/trumps-...

Holy New York.

Still 90 mins out and Boston crowd is massive…millions taking to the street today saying “no kings!”

Let this sink in: FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS has massive crowds in the streets today. 🔥 Deep red America is showing up and showing out for democracy. This was never just a blue state movement. This is Americans from everywhere saying NO KINGS. We the people have the power! #NoKings2026

www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... The headline says it all: “Trump rejects off-ramp to fund DHS as airport delays worsen”

www.citizen.org/news/decisio... Moving Senator Markwayne Mullin out of committee and one step closer to the helm of the Department of Homeland Security is simply inappropriate.

As always, incredibly impt work from @rgoodlaw.bsky.social and his great Just Security team

Yet another Trump nominee is refusing to say he would put country before president. Newsflash: Trump is the most lawless president of our lifetimes. The last thing DHS needs is another Trump lackey with no regard for the rule of law.

WTF?! DHS Secretary nominee Markwayne Mullin excused physical violence against a sitting Senator. Is this the guy to put in charge of ICE whose violence is already out of control & has killed Americans? HELL NO!

www.citizen.org/news/mullins... Sharing our new research on this aggressive stock trading. @zacheverson.com

Tune in tomorrow to hear how Mullin plans to stay the course at DHS w/ more aggressive enforcement, more detention, more defense of ICE immunity. He should not be confirmed. www.hsgac.senate.gov/hearings/nom...
