NEW: The First Circuit has denied the Trump Admin’s motion to stay in our SNAP case. This means that full benefits should be paid after the SCOTUS stay expires. The court does not mince words about what the government has done here. Congrats to our clients, co-counsel, and @democracyforward.org.

President Trump does not have the authority to sidestep Congress in order to silence local governments and non-profit orgs that do work he doesn’t like.
Public servants serve the people, not politics. We're in court to protect the bipartisan promise of public service loan forgiveness.

US states, nonprofits sue over Trump rule limiting student loan forgiveness
Several Democratic-led states, cities and nonprofits filed lawsuits on Monday seeking to block a new rule by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that would exclude organizations from a federal student loan forgiveness program if they are deemed to have a "substantial illegal purpose."

We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin over its latest attempt to replace career civil servants with political loyalists.
Adding a “loyalty question” to federal job applications effectively demands applicants prove allegiance to the admin. Civil servants work for the American people—not President Trump.
