A Must Read👇 "Once our justice system is destroyed and replaced with one in which power and cronyism make adherence to laws optional, who will want to spend large amounts of money on highly credentialed and knowledgeable lawyers trained to counsel clients in how to comply with them?"

We just won a court order blocking President Trump's hateful and unlawful executive order on birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right and no President can solely rewrite our Constitution. We will continue to fight to preserve our rights.

So what exactly IS the case against #DEI? That it’s better to limit the pool of highly qualified candidates when hiring? 🤔 Or that it’s better to limit markets that companies have access to?🤔 Or that white men are better than everyone else?🤔 So confused!😵‍💫 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYdm...

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that whether acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them. Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.

Some federally funded community health centers — which serve rural areas with limited access to medical care — are still unable to access grant funding and are shutting down because of Trump's spending freeze. We are witnessing an attack on America's most vulnerable people.

Russell Vought is on the cusp of confirmation to lead OMB, where he could gut the civil service and social safety net. He's also the mastermind behind Project 2025, which Trump once disavowed but has so far followed to a tee during his second term.
