Trump's out-of-control DHS agents aren't going after the "worst of the worst" like they claim—they're arresting and detaining CITIZENS. More than 500 of them! Republicans in Congress are doing nothing to hold Trump accountable for these constitutional violations—VOTE!

Incredible. The 11th Circuit, in a 3-0 opinion (two Obama appointees and one Trump 1.0 appointee), agrees that Trump and his lawyers have failed to rebut the judge's finding that the entire IRS settlement was collusive, highlighting that no other explanation for their conduct was even offered.

Breaking: four more US servicemembers have been k*lled in Iran—and we’re only learning it now. This follows a pattern of lie on top of lie about what’s happening in this catastrophic war. We deserve better.

BREAKING: Republicans JUST blocked Democrats' bill that would have ENDED Trump's tariffs on Canada and his ability to keep starting these trade wars. This would have saved Americans THOUSANDS of dollars. But Republicans chose once again to put Trump's approval over the American people.

ACLU@aclu.org

The Trump administration is weaponizing administrative subpoenas to demand that tech companies hand over the personal information of users who criticize the government online. Know your rights if your information is subpoenaed.

aclu.orgWhen the Government Demands Info About Your Online AccountsThe First Amendment protects the right to document and criticize government actions, including when doing so anonymously online. But the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ramped up efforts to surveil and silence critics using a tool called an "administrative subpoena" or "administrative summons".

Worker productivity is up 92% while hourly pay is up just 34%. And Fox News thinks young people can’t afford things because they’re lazy? I don't think so. It's time to unrig our broken economy.

112 children are imprisoned at Dilley. The youngest child imprisoned at Dilley is 2 months old. None have committed any crime. Private investors make money for each new child taken into Dilley. We need to #ShutDownDilley and end family detention.
