Every time we walk into court, we’re there for one purpose: to make sure that people have the power to defend their rights.

Our team is headed to court today to challenge the Trump-Vance admin’s attempts to block Members of Congress from checking on conditions at ICE detention facilities.

ICE cannot be allowed to operate in the dark.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined No Lie with @briantylercohen.bsky.social to discuss the Trump-Vance admin’s decision to drop the investigation into border czar Tom Homan.

We’re demanding the FBI release the recording that allegedly shows Homan taking a $50k bribe from undercover agents.

BREAKING: We're investigating Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s unprecedented gathering of top military leaders.

President Trump’s pattern of misusing military forces and lack of transparency is cause for concern. We're demanding answers for the American people.

Our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social was on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social tonight to discuss the indictment of former FBI director James Comey.

“The President does not just get to snap his fingers and demand the DOJ go after his political enemies...I think he has miscalculated and overreached.”

When the American people speak out against the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful actions, we’re regularly seeing them back down.

President and CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @legalafmtn.bsky.social to discuss what people can do to push back in this time.

Another win in our case! The Trump-Vance administration can't ignore a federal court order stopping it from shutting down Voice of America.

We’re proud to announce that Rob Shriver, Managing Director for Democracy Forward’s Civil Service Strong, is one of 42 leaders elected to the National Academy of Public Administration’s 2025 Class of Academy Fellows!

President Trump spent $15 billion in taxpayer dollars to lose 200,000+ federal jobs and millions of combined years of experience.

We lit up Washington, D.C. to expose the Trump-Vance administration’s reckless dismantling of the federal government.

Today, HUD officials posted divisive political messages on their website.

There are laws in place to keep federal agencies nonpartisan.

This is not just unAmerican – it’s unlawful. That’s why we’ve launched an investigation.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump-Vance admin for secretly merging millions of Americans' personal data to create a national database.

Some states are already using this “Big Brother” database to purge voter rolls and open criminal investigations.

It’s illegal. We’re in court to stop it.

We’re suing the Trump-Vance administration for threatening to conduct mass firings of federal employees if the government shuts down tonight.

Using people’s livelihoods as a bargaining chip is both cruel and illegal. That’s why we’ve joined forces with unions to protect these vital jobs.

JUST IN: Democracy Forward and federal labor unions are suing to block the threat of mass firings during the shutdown, saying they're an abuse of OMB Director Russ Vought's authority.
