Due to overwhelming public backlash, Meta abandoned its invasive AI feature, which would have allowed public profiles to be used in AI-generated images unless users proactively opt out. Big Tech wanted to strip away our right to privacy. But the people spoke up, and we won.

Fewer than 4 in 10 non-homeowner households can afford a typical starter home. Yet Trump says he wanted to drive home prices even higher. That's great for rich developers, but what about the rest of us?!

Protecting Americans from forever chemicals contaminating their food shouldn’t be controversial. Yet here we are. “Make America Healthy Again?” Yeah right.

The Election Assistance Commission has no commissioners after Trump fired two Democrat members & the remaining Republican member resigned. This is a pathetic attempt by Trump to sow doubt in our elections. Since the states maintain control elections, this scheme will not work.

ICE detention facilities have faced years of complaints about unsafe and inhumane conditions. And the Trump administration’s plan to combat this problem is…scaling back inspections? This isn't just a "bad policy." This is putting real people's lives at serious risk.

On a recent flight, Trump swapped his Qatari-gifted Air Force One for the old Air Force One due to concerns over communications & military defense systems. Upgrading the luxury jet for Trump's use cost taxpayers upwards of $400 MILLION. How is it STILL not safe enough to use?!

One comment from Trump. One overnight oil spike. Big Oil loves volatility because it's great for their margins. Americans watching prices at the pump tick back up? Not so much.

DOGE promised to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. Instead, it delivered confusion, court battles and an $11 billion federal budget deficit. Quite the return on investment...

Iranian asylum seekers fled their home out of fear of torture or death. And now, the Trump administration is handing their confidential information to the very country they're trying to escape. It’s downright cruel and illegal. We’re suing to fight this dangerous breach of confidentiality.

Insurers raised ACA premiums by 20% on average this year. Next year? ANOTHER 14%. Republicans letting subsidies expire is the reason why we’re in this mess in the first place. Healthcare should be a right, not a luxury.

Meta's latest AI image generation feature allows public profiles to be used in AI-generated images unless users proactively opt out. Meta is quietly defaulting users into the system and burying the opt-out in account settings. This is a serious invasion of privacy.

The crypto industry is introducing insane risk to the entire financial system, facilitated by their massive political spending. Our co-president @Rob_Weissman explains:

Nearly 1 million investors who bought into the chief grifter’s meme coin collectively lost $3.8 BILLION. Meanwhile, Trump walked away with over $600 million. Trump's schemes always end with him on top.

Davey Hearn, a celebrated U.S. Olympian, was falsely accused of vandalizing the DC reflecting pool. Join us at 8:30 AM TOMORROW to rally outside the Court and fight these unfounded accusations: https://www.mobilize.us/publiccitizen/event/985930/

ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston yesterday. The Trump administration is pushing the same baseless narrative it used when ICE agents shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. The public deserves a transparent investigation - not ICE's self-serving lies.

Trump just called out "the Islamic Republic of Japan" in a press conference. The president doesn't know what country he's at war with, and THIS is who we're supposed to trust with the nuclear codes?

The guardrails are gone. Corporate money has flooded our elections since Citizens United, but now it's OFF THE CHARTS! Corporate money is destroying our democracy. Watch @Rob_Weissman explain what we found in our recent report:

One year ago, Congress passed the “Big Ugly Law.” Since then, working people faced higher costs, cuts to critical programs, & more handouts to powerful special interests. Join @lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social TODAY for a rally on the harmful impacts of this law: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Trump's slush fund was created to funnel taxpayer dollars into the pockets of his allies. DOJ failed to respond to our FOIA requests for information on how the DOJ & Trump's attorney came to this collusive deal. The American people deserve answers. We're suing to get them.

We joined more than two dozen groups in a letter to Governor Whitmer asking for her to recall the Michigan National Guard forces that she sent to DC, at Trump’s request. Stand up to Trump’s authoritarian agenda and bring the Guard home NOW. https://bit.ly/4aHEc6v

Trump's lackey Todd Blanche will have his Senate confirmation hearing for Attorney General next week. His glaring conflicts of interest & loyalty to Trump over the rule of law are absolutely disqualifying. His handling of the Epstein files has also been shameful and disturbing.

The number of Americans enrolled in the Affordable Care Act has dropped by a stagering 2.6 MILLION. People shouldn't have to choose between paying their bills or having health care. The system is broken.

BREAKING: The U.S. government is sharing Iranian asylum seekers' confidential information with the Iranian government. The Trump Administration is violating its own regulations & putting lives at risk. We are asking the court to order the admin to stop this dangerous policy.

NEW LAWSUIT: The Trump admin has been sharing Iranian asylum seekers' confidential information with the Iranian government. These asylum seekers are now at an increased risk of risk of persecution, torture, & death if they are sent back. We're suing to stop this heinous policy.

RIDICULOUS! Trump's DOJ appointed Exxon Mobil lawyer Robert Levy to lead their new "Energy & Natural Resources Division." Under this admin, Big Oil is practically in charge of policy. Real people will suffer as these polluters are given the green light to poison the planet.

Affordable housing? Too expensive. Affordable healthcare? Too expensive. Spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer money retrofitting a luxury jet illegally gifted to Trump by a foreign government? Apparently that’s in the budget.

The pointless border wall got “smarter.” The painful Taxpayer spending got bigger. When are Americans going to get the same upgrades for healthcare, housing and childcare? With this “billionaires first” admin, don’t hold your breath.

LAWSUIT WIN: The Trump Administration tried to use the USPS to make mail-in voting harder. And a federal judge blocked it, ruling in our favor. We’ll keep fighting to protect the freedom to vote.

While Americans are just trying to keep the lights on and stay cool… And Big Tech keeps building energy-hungry data centers… The power grid is crossing its fingers.

Remember that $1 TRILLION military budget Trump requested? This is how he decided to waste YOUR money.

$103 MILLION of your taxpayer dollars, down the drain.

Trump cut funding for Medicaid, food stamps, education…the list goes on. All on the pretense that we can’t afford it. Yet, apparently we can afford $330 million – and counting – on National Guards roaming D.C. with no clear strategy or measurable outcomes. There’s always money, just not for us.

Here’s a wild idea: Instead of institutionalizing people living with disabilities, FUND THE DAMN SERVICES THEY NEED! Newsflash, RFK Jr.: resurrecting failed policies isn’t a sound healthcare plan. Some things need to stay in the history books.

Trump awarded a $500 MILLION no-bid contract to construct his gaudy White House ballroom. He did another no-bid contract for his botched, peeling Reflecting Pool project. He's skirting the law to get what he wants. At least he’s consistent in how he chooses to waste taxpayer dollars.

A poll worker reported that two federal officers confronted her at the polls about her social media posts that were critical of ICE. This is a blatant intimidation tactic. Trump's DHS must stop these efforts to scare Americans out of using their First Amendment right.

[1/2] Giant insurance companies are overcharging taxpayers tens of billions each year for Medicare Advantage plans, which often only offer disadvantage to consumers being denied access to the doctor of their choice and necessary care.

WIN: Granting our motion in NAACP v. USPS, the court halted USPS's plan to interfere with mail-in voting. The plan threatened to disenfranchise millions of voters who rely on vote-by-mail to participate in elections. But USPS has an obligation to prioritize the timely delivery of election mail.

Over 160 MILLION people are under extreme heat warnings or heat advisories going into the 4th of July weekend. Thanks to Big Oil's pollution, lethal heat is only going to increase. This isn't a natural disaster - it's a climate crime. Big Oil must be held accountable.

This shit never stops. Trump has begun construction of an unannounced helipad on the white house lawn. The project funds were gifted to him by Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin gets tens of billions in federal contracts annually. Do you see what's happening here?

Corporations spent $517 MILLION in the 2026 election cycle alone. That's nearly 1/3 of ALL corporate political spending since the Citizens United Decision. Corporate spending is drowning out the voices of real voters. The system must change – our democracy is on the line!

BREAKING: Trump's financial disclosure was released today, showing he earned $1.4 BILLION from his crypto ventures. This grifter president is monetizing the presidency, and Congress needs to act, NOW!

Forcing Americans into bankruptcy simply because they sought care when they were sick is unconscionable. NO ONE should face financial ruin for getting a basic human right like healthcare. MEDICARE FOR ALL. NOW.

4 out of 10 Americans ration the drugs they need because they cannot afford them. Big Pharma's price gauging is out of control. As our co-president @Rob_Weissman notes: the government grants Big Pharma their monopolies, and it's time to stop!

BREAKING: In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump's effort to rewrite the Constitution. As the Constitution says, people born on American soil are citizens. Trump's abuse of power has been challenged. His xenophobia loses out to the rule of law.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down limits on how much political parties can raise and spend on candidates. Already, political spending is surging to record-shattering levels. With this ruling, the court has eliminated yet one more protection against political corruption.

Corporations spent $517 MILLION in the 2026 election cycle alone. That's nearly 1/3 of ALL corporate political spending since the 2010 Citizens United Decision. Corporate domination of our elections has long been a problem, and now it’s getting MUCH worse.

Trump is handing out victory lap talking points for a war that hasn’t even ended yet. Matter fact, a deal hasn’t even been SIGNED yet. The only thing “huge” and “historic” here is his audacity (and the billions he recklessly spent on this illegal war).

Turns out the government can deliver for everyday Americans when it has the right priorities. Imagine if the guy in the White House had actually focused on affordability for all Americans instead of grifting off the presidency and wasting our money on illegal wars.

You know the hard-earned money that YOU pay to visit and enjoy National Parks? Yeah well, Trump is eating up $76 million of that money on fountain repairs and D.C. “beautification.” The parks are crumbling as we speak. But his tacky party must go on, I guess.

BREAKING: Trump has tried time & time again to tear down Americans' right to vote by mail. But today, the Supreme Court ruled against Trump & affirmed that states may continue to count late-arriving mail-in ballots. This win helps more Americans participate in democracy.
