BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to cut off food assistance for 42 million people during the ongoing government shutdown.
We'll keep fighting to ensure that federal programs serve their lawful purpose: to help, not harm, people and communities.

If so, then this administration should have no issues responding to our @democracyforward.org FOIA to produce the recording of Mr. Homan's actions.
Q: Did the president ask the DOJ to close the Homan investigation and does he have to return the $50,000
LEAVITT: Mr. Homan never took the $50,000, so you should get your facts straight ... you had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president's top allies and supporters

A legal resistance led by a patchwork coalition of lawyers, public-interest groups, Democratic state attorneys general, and unions has frustrated Trump’s ambitions. @michaelscherer.bsky.social reports on the one anti-Trump resistance movement that’s actually working:
The Anti-Trump Resistance That’s Actually Working
A flurry of lawsuits is challenging Trump in the court of law and the court of public opinion.

EMTALA requires hospitals to provide any lifesaving care — but President Trump rescinded a guidance targeting emergency abortions.

We’re suing RFK Jr. and HHS for cancelling $11 billion in grants to protect people from infectious diseases and pandemics.
These congressionally approved funds ensure communities can prepare for outbreaks. We've stopped unlawful federal funding freezes before and we will do it again.
