Article by Michael Kunzelman/Lindsay Whitehurst. Trump is saying that the people being sent to the American Gulag in El Salvador fall under states secrets. Do the contents of the executive branches signal conversations also fall under that? Exactly how much incompetence are you willing to admit to?

Article by Alanna Richer and Lindsay Whitehurst. Just to clarify something. The Judicial branch of government has equal power to the executive and legislative. It's literal job is to be a check to the other two. I need every judge to back this judge up, unless of course you want to lose your power.

INCREDIBLE Ruling!

Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.
