58 (!!!) corporations facing federal investigations and enforcement lawsuits gave $50 million to Donald Trump's inaugural fund. What’s the prize for donating to Trump? 11 of these cases have already been dismissed or withdrawn and 6 have been stopped.

Every Republican in Congress wants to cut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. They keep coming up with new ways to say it.

Trump's inaugural fund was basically a cash-for-protection racket. $50 million given by corporations under investigation. Now those cases are disappearing. Forget draining it – they’ve pumped even more water into the swamp.

ALERT: Trump could get 22 new federal judicial nominations if Congress passes the JUDGES Act, allowing him to stack the courts with loyalists who will rubber-stamp his extreme agenda and protect him from legal accountability.

Donald Trump’s inaugural committee raised over $239 million, largely from big corporations and the ultra-wealthy. More than any president has ever raised. Now they want their tax handouts and tariff exemptions — paid for by the rest of us.

Here’s one World War II veteran’s message to Trump and those attacking our democracy: “I fought for it once. I can fight for it again.” If he can continue fighting for our democracy and our freedoms, then so can all of us.

Some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to support the JUDGES Act — which would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments — because they want to lighten the case load of judges in their states. A few have even co-sponsored the bill.

When you defy court orders and deny one man his Constitutional rights, you threaten them for ALL. Trump can post all he wants, but a federal judge said there's “no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity.” Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT.

Trump made 245 judicial appointments in his first term, and he could have even more in his second term. Republicans in the House are working to pass the JUDGES Act, which would create 22 MORE district judges, allowing Trump to stack the courts with loyalists.

Republicans say the SAVE Act would prevent non-citizens from registering, but that is already illegal. The SAVE ACT is a blueprint for voter suppression, potentially disenfranchising millions of women and making it harder for poor people and rural Americans to vote.

Powerful words from the Fourth Circuit's ruling on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case, written by Republican-appointee Chief Judge Wilkinson: “This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

You may not know about this bill yet, but you should. The JUDGES Act would hand Trump 22 new judicial appointments, and some Democrats in Congress are feeling pressure to vote yes on it to lighten the caseload of judges in their states. A few Democrats have even co-sponsored it.

Let me thank my Senate colleague @vanhollen.senate.gov for his trip to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully imprisoned. As the Supreme Court indicated, there was no basis for his warrantless arrest. The Trump admin must obey the law. He must be returned home.

This is what leadership looks like. I’m proud of my partner and our senior Senator, @vanhollen.senate.gov We won’t stop until we bring Kilmar home.

Make no mistake—the SAVE Act is this generation's poll tax. And just like the poll taxes of the Jim Crow era, it's up to us to fight it. Text SAVE to 63033 to tell your senators to vote NO! www.newsweek.com/rural-americ...

The SAVE Act is a trick, and the American people aren’t falling for it. Text SAVE to 63033 to urge your Senator to vote no on this bill that would block millions of Americans from voting.

A constitutional crisis is looming. A president who ignores or intimidated judges who rule against him. A Congress passing legislation to dismantle judicial independence. Checks and balances, and our fundamental rights, are at stake. More from me and @lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social ⬇️
