Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

NEW: after nearly ten years of legal battle, we have won our lawsuit against the City of Ocala, FL. In 2014, we sued when the city and police department pushed a taxpayer-funded Christian prayer vigil. What they did was unconstitutional. We proved Christian Nationalists can still be stopped.

Takano: This bill will hurt veterans. 1.5 million veterans get their healthcare through Medicaid. They are slashing programs to try to pay for these tax cuts—except they’re not actually paying for them.
