We just filed a lawsuit on behalf of faculty, staff, students, and unions to protect free speech within the University of California system.
The Trump-Vance admin's use of financial threats against academic institutions in an attempt to stifle views it opposes is both unconstitutional and illegal.

Militarizing our cities is just plain wrong.
The Dictator continues to look for fake “emergencies” so he can claim further authoritarian control
Danger to our republic lurks everywhere under this maniac.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill.
A bill that takes away health care for over 17 million Americans, closes hospitals, raises utility bills, explodes the deficit, and gives a trillion dollar handout to the wealthiest people in the country.
This bill is the ultimate betrayal.

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.

It's literally impossible to run the National Weather Service without talking to foreign partners.
For example, the National Hurricane Center in Miami shares data with other nations in the Caribbean constantly to forecast storms. Everyone benefits.

Where it's possible, lawsuits are being filed. That is something that can be done and is being done. As are delays in the Senate and going over how awful the Trump nominees are. And at the State level, outside lawsuits, Democrats are also resisting where possible.
