UPDATE: In a win against government censorship, our coalition just defeated the Trump-Vance admin’s attempt to dismiss this case.

We will keep fighting to protect science and history for all who visit our national parks. #OurParksOurHistory

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

We’re suing to stop the Trump-Vance administration from erasing history and science at national parks across the country.

Censoring “America’s largest classroom” cannot erase this country's truths. We will fight in court to ensure everyone can learn about the real American experience.

Despite what President Trump may want you to believe, federal agents are not above the law.

We’re partnering with @WeAreUnidosUS to hold ICE and federal law enforcement officers accountable and equip attorneys with resources for bringing FTCA claims involving federal law enforcement misconduct.

This further proves Trump's illegal slush fund is not a partisan issue — it affects all taxpayers.

This brazen abuse of taxpayer dollars and complete disregard for the Constitution cannot continue.

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

ALERT: Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) files court brief urging judge to HALT Trump slush fund

Cassidy & Sen. Cory Booker argue the case "is a question of whether the machinery of democratic government may be turned, by design and with explicit intent, against the democratic foundations it exists to serve"

It is shameful that the Trump Administration is—yet again—attempting to strip health care coverage for millions of working people, including many here in Baltimore.

Quality health care should be a basic right for every citizen, and we will continue to fight against any attempt to slash lifesaving benefits under the ACA.

NEWS: In an 8-1 decision, SCOTUS rejects attempts by major corporations to evade accountability for failing to protect consumers' rights.

This decision allows the FCC, and all government agencies, to do their job.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

Did you know that four major wireless carriers sold access to their customers’ location information without protecting it from unauthorized use?

Today our clients told SCOTUS that it must affirm FCC’s ability to protect consumers’ privacy rights.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

The Trump-Vance admin’s new policy is an attack on Americans’ healthcare that would deny coverage to millions, increase insurance premiums, and raise out-of-pocket costs.

We’ve won in court before, and we’ll do it again to protect access to affordable healthcare.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

President Trump’s EO makes it easier for political appointees to remove experienced public servants.

This isn’t just harmful to federal workers — it’s harmful to the people across the country who rely on essential government services.

We sent a letter demanding the Trump-Vance admin confirm – in writing – their plan to end this illegal scheme and have yet to hear back.

We built the largest, most successful legal resistance against an administration’s authoritarian actions in modern U.S. history.

Rachel, Director of Democracy 2025, breaks it down.

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

Democracy Forward, a watchdog group that sued to halt to Trump slush fund, is asking Justice Dept to *put in writing* the Admin’s alleged plan to abandon the $1.7 billion fund

If you can say it on TV, you should say it in court.

[Jaime Harrison @harrisonjaime]

A DOGE team member signed a voter data agreement with an organization the government's own filings say tried to undermine state elections. @SkyePerryman of @DemocracyFwd tells us all about it in today's new episode: https://t.co/7T4fLkke01

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

Trump’s $1.778 billion slush fund is corrupt and illegal. Our lawsuit froze it, but it's time for members of Congress to join us in using their power and authority to ensure that this fund is dead in its tracks.

The person who has been weaponizing his position to go after the President's enemies is now going to be in charge of our nation's intelligence.

What could go wrong?

The Trump-Vance admin is suing a New Jersey township to stop its law combatting climate change and protecting residents from adverse health effects associated with gas appliances.

We’re demanding the court dismiss this unlawful, overreaching attempt.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

We’re used to shutting down unlawful schemes — and that’s exactly what the court order we secured against Trump’s slush fund did on Friday.

As @skyeperryman says, we will continue our case until we have assurances the fund is abandoned, will not recur, and harm is remedied.

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

Until the administration fully abandons the scheme, it's beyond dispute that it will not recur, and our clients' harm is remedied, we will be in court challenging it.

We look forward to the government’s response to the courts and to our filings, and to prevailing on behalf of our clients.

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

We have seen time and again the president have to abandon corrupt and unlawful schemes in the face of litigation and public pressure.

If these rumors are true, the administration abandoning its illegal slush fund would be a major victory for people in America.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

Reproductive rights are under attack. But we’re not letting anti-abortion extremists win.

CEO @skyeperryman joined @mintimm on @reproforall's podcast to talk about how we’re defending mifepristone, protecting healthcare, and keeping your rights alive. https://t.co/S6gtK2TdMK
