As the Trump-Vance admin is attempting to evade accountability and create one of the most brazen abuse of taxpayer funds in modern history, we are seeing two senators — a Democrat and a Republican — join our fight to oppose this corrupt slush fund. https://t.co/T7QLPuvWah

Unlawfully censoring “the soldiers’ paper” is an insult to the members of the armed forces who dedicated their lives to protecting our constitutional principles – including freedom of speech.

That’s why we’re suing to protect Stars and Stripes in court.

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

NEW: Lawsuit filed challenging DOD's effort to control Stars and Stripes. https://t.co/TGCleUoKiS

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

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: “We are not moving forward” with the $1.8 billion compensation fund for those claiming they were victims of government weaponization, the acting attorney general Todd Blanche said. “Period.” https://t.co/m8fANZbgmy

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

Our win to keep Trump from implementing the corrupt slush fund until the courts consider its legality was a positive step.

Today I joined brave plaintiffs, including @CommonCause, along with @SenWhitehouse and @SenatorDurbin to call on Congress and demand an end to Trump’s slush fund.

As lawyers, we will continue to do our jobs. It’s time for our lawmakers to do the same.

[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.

[NBC News @NBCNews]

NEW: The Trump administration signals it is backing off the creation of a $1.8 billion fund announced by the Justice Dept. that could send money to allies of President Trump deemed “victims of lawfare and weaponization.”. https://t.co/IlGiEApLEC

[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

"People know rank corruption when they see it. That is what this is." - @SkyePerryman on Trump's slush fund and the court order we secured to freeze it

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

Corruption doesn’t deliver. Never has, never will. Our team delivers.

Thank you @DemocracyFwd.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

Trump's slush fund is straight-up corruption. Today, we won a court order that prevents the administration from transferring money or distributing any payments.

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

This administration is trying to normalize President Trump’s unconstitutional overreaches of power — but the courts aren’t falling for it.

I joined @MTLegalAF to break down the latest win in our case freezing the president’s illegal slush fund.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Good. Kudos to @DemocracyFwd.

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

Big win from @DemocracyFwd today — the first-of-its-kind order! Court blocks the Trump admin from distributing slush funds.

This is what we do on Fridays.

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocks any payouts from the Trump administration's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" settlement fund. https://t.co/aIeZ2LLH8I

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

[FactPost @factpostnews]

ICE pepper sprayed Senator Andy Kim while he peacefully protested outside a detention facility.

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

Last time I checked, the Constitution doesn't allow the president to build his own corrupt billion-dollar slush fund to reward allies and punish perceived opponents with Americans' taxpayer dollars.

We at @DemocracyFwd will keep showing up in court to hold this administration accountable.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

President Trump’s so-called “Anti-Weaponization Fund” is a corrupt scheme to enrich his allies while politically discriminating against people, like our plaintiffs, who have been harmed by Republican administrations.

It's unconstitutional – we will prove it in court.

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

This is a hard time. Rights decimated. Institutions letting us down. But we know our history. This is an old, old fight in a new time. And it’s our turn to do our part for freedom and for the future.

[Democracy Forward @DemocracyFwd]

The @WBADC recognized our CEO @SkyePerryman's career in working for people and democracy with the 2026 Woman Lawyer of the Year award.

As Skye says, women will – as they have throughout history – continue leading the way. Here are some highlights from her speech. Congrats Skye!

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

Skye Perryman, CEO of watchdog group Democracy Forward, predicts formidable legal challenges to Trump's $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded pot of money for convicted criminals

And they'll likely happen soon ===>

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

The single largest days of nonviolent direct action in our country's history have taken place over the last year.

I’m joining thousands of activists and leaders in Montgomery, AL for tomorrow’s day of action to march in defense of voting rights.

[Christina Ayiotis, Esq., CRM, CIPP/E, AIGP @christinayiotis]

Congratulations Skye Perryman (she/her) on being honored as the Women's Bar Association of the District of Columbia 2026 Woman of the Year! Thank you for all you do for the rule of law. @SkyePerryman @WBADC #RuleOfLaw

[Skye Perryman (she/her) @SkyePerryman]

SCOTUS did the right thing today in protecting access to safe medication abortion by mail and in pharmacies for millions of people.

We at @DemocracyFwd will continue to work with our partners to ensure scientific gains in reproductive health are not threatened by brash political agendas.

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

BREAKING: SCOTUS stays the Fifth Circuit's mifepristone stay order, keeping mifepristone available on current terms.

Thomas and Alito file separate dissents.
