60 years ago, when Black civil rights activists marched to Montgomery from Selma, Alabama to demand voting rights, they were met with police violence.
We honored their sacrifice and recommitted ourselves to the fight at the 60th Selma Jubilee.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms: the President’s actions today are illegal.
Cutting off people from healthcare, childcare, and other services is cruel.

"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants.
"If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."
