We mourn the loss of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who played an extraordinarily consequential role not in only advancing our nation’s civil rights, but also strengthening our democracy.

Man, expectations are so low and I understand. People have been so beaten down politically that they think that nothing will be changed. But WE are the ones who have to push them to enact the policies they commit to. Nothing will 'just happen.'

Because DHS paramilitaries are masked, heavily armed, poorly trained, and have been terrorizing Americans for months.  Because Americans don't want to vote at gunpoint. #holdfast

“Will you apologize to Renee Good for being called a domestic terrorist by the president and his leadership?” Swalwell asked Lyons, who was testifying alongside other top DHS officials before the House Homeland Security Committee.

No, sir,” Lyons replied.

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum.

This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.

It has been reported that Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files 38,000 times.

That is a lie.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has said that when he searched for Trump in the unredacted files, Trump’s name came up “more than a million times.”

We should be calling them “The Trump Files.”
