Taxpayers' money is meant to make life better for all in our nation, not to be handed out as payouts to Trump's political allies.

This court win proves that no one is above the law.

This Pride, we're honoring the trans people who came before us: visionaries like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Lorena Borjas, Cecilia Gentili, Monica Roberts, and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, alongside the countless trans people whose courage & leadership shaped our movement.

We just secured a first-of-its-kind court order pausing the Trump-Vance administration from processing claims, transferring money, or distributing payments from the president’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.”

This is a win for transparency, the rule of law, and the American people.

This should shock every single American. ICE's increasingly violent tactics are out of control.

[Congressional Equality Caucus @EqualityCaucus]

The House just DEFEATED the GOP's hijacked Women's History Museum bill that would have handed Trump unilateral control over the museum's location & banned the inclusion of transgender women.

Americans need a government that is more dedicated to keeping our food and well-being safe than it is to spouting Christian Nationalist views. We will see you in court.

A new study from the Trevor Project highlights how anti-equality extremism is having a profoundly negative impact on the wellbeing of young LGBTQI+ people.

Our members are fighting for equality to give every young person a chance to live happily, safely, and authentically.

Mifepristone saves lives.

CEO @SkyePerryman joined @weeknightmsnow to discuss the latest developments in Louisiana v. FDA.

The legal resistance is making an undeniable impact.

This Law Day, we’re highlighting some of our lawyers who are in court every day to defend our Constitutional rights and the rule of law.

[Congressional Equality Caucus @EqualityCaucus]

As we celebrate #AANHPIHeritageMonth, the Equality Caucus is proud to celebrate the leadership of @RepMarkTakano, the first openly-gay Asian American elected to Congress.

Our fight for equality will always include fighting for the rights & dignity of queer AANHPI people!

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

The Supreme Court majority has dealt a blow to voting rights and, in so doing, to the American people.

The path forward is clear: we must recommit to protecting and exercising our right to vote and to using our voices to oppose extreme power grabs that seek to subvert the voices of the people.

President Trump tried to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services. We fought back – and won.

Watch our Legal Fellow, Kayla, explain why the IMLS is critical to libraries and communities across the country. #NationalLibraryWeek

It's almost as if pay-to-play visas were always a bad idea.

This failed attempt to sell to the highest bidder, while at the same time targeting people who followed the legal process for denaturalization, are two more reminders that President Trump continues to disrespect the rule of law.

[Congressional Equality Caucus @EqualityCaucus]

A new study by @WilliamsPolicy reveals the impact of Trump’s anti-trans policies on trans & nonbinary parents and their children.

No one should have to live in fear because of who they are or what their family looks like—but under Trump, that’s exactly what is happening.

“People who become U.S. citizens are extensively vetted. Applicants must provide biometric data and answer wide-ranging questions about their travel history, run-ins with the law.… The final steps of the naturalization process include passing civics and English tests.”

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

This fear-mongering is the latest attempt by President Trump to push a racist, anti-immigrant agenda.

But the truth and the law are not on his side. Keep reading. ⬇️

The president’s executive order defies both the law and reality. This order is unlawful and would have disastrous consequences for workers doing the public’s business throughout the country and the people they serve.

So we sued.
