A federal judge in D.C. just ruled that the Trump administration overstepped its authority by dismantling the U.S. Institute of Peace an independent, congressionally chartered nonprofit. Huge thanks to U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell for upholding the law.

Getting creative! 😉 Hundreds of billboards are rising in 40 U.S. cities, bashing staff and service cuts at national parks under DOGE.

Trump’s executive order is a major step backward for civil rights in America. Let’s break it down: it eliminates a key protection called “disparate impact,” which has been used for decades to fight discrimination in schools, housing, and other areas.

“A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.”

From HIV and tuberculosis infections to millions of dead children, the deadly impact of Rubio, Musk and Trump’s agenda has been quantified.

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”.
It’s about racism.
It’s about state terror.
It’s about dehumanization.
Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services.
This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage.
Keep up the fight.

The GOP is starting to feel the pressure. Even in very red states and districts, Republicans are facing more constituent questions on the impacts of the Trump-Musk coup.
We need to keep this momentum going. There’s another congressional recess next week — let’s get to work: indivisible.org/muskorus

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
