Late last night, a federal court ruled to block dangerous steps in the Trump-Vance admin’s new rule that would have dismantled the immigration appeals process.
This win in our case safeguards noncitizens’ right to due process and stops the admin’s attempt to fast-track deportations.
NEW: TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.
NEW: Use our database to explore the financial disclosures of President Donald Trump and more than 1,500 of his appointees.

At more than $5 billion and counting, the cost of Operation Epic Fury so far could cover SNAP benefits for more than 2 million Americans.
But instead of feeding hungry people at home, we're cutting food stamps in order to lower taxes for the rich and boost military spending to record levels.
New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.
As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

Last month, a Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15M from data center developers to sell his farmland.
Another in Wisconsin turned down $80M.
America's farmers and others across the country are pushing back on Big Tech.
This is what integrity looks like.
Surprise: Trump lies.
My response to his State of the Union.
It turns out there was voter fraud in Georgia but done by Elon Musk’s political operation, not individual voters. Links:

New Brunswick, NJ just canceled plans for a colossal AI data center after massive pushback from the community.
That's a huge win for people power.
AI data centers are sucking up communities’ utilities AND draining state resources — while enriching Big Tech CEOs.
Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
NEW: The FDA has removed a webpage warning about dangerous therapies claiming to treat autism. It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under RFK Jr. to discredit long-established science.

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.
The President has created a crisis in MN and using violence against people. There is no basis for invoking the Insurrection Act.
@skyeperryman.bsky.social joined Alex Presha on ABC News Live tonight to discuss.
Republicans think it's too expensive to protect Americans' health care but they'll shovel money at Pete Hegseth for a $125 million vanity rebrand????
ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo
Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. Legal expert Baher Azmy of @ccrjustice.org explains what that means.
ICE agents arrested dozens of U.S. citizens, accusing them of immigration violations, in 2025.
Senator Mark Kelly has filed a lawsuit against Pete Hegseth, asking a federal court to stop the Trump administration from downgrading his retirement rank and reducing his military pension.

Operation Midway Blitz turned ordinary life into a risk for thousands of Illinois residents — tearing communities apart, hurting our economy, and violating Illinoisans' basic rights.
We will continue to stand up and fight against these abuses of power.
MAGA is trying to justify the Portland shooting by arguing that the people drove off after being shot, and that this somehow explains why the agents fled the scene. At the same time, federal agents are claiming the victims were “gang members” who attempted to run them over with a car.
BREAKING: Common Cause and partners intervened in the Trump Administration’s lawsuit against Wisconsin after the state refused to hand over voters’ confidential data.
