Black men who were fired from key transportation boards accuse Trump of a pattern of discrimination Two Black men who were fired by President Donald Trump from the National Transportation Safety Board and the U.S.

Racial discrimination has no place in independent government agencies meant to serve all people. We’re honored to represent Mr. Brown and Mr. Primus as they seek accountability and defend equal protection.

We won another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin from firing federal workers.
AGAIN.

We won another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin from firing federal workers. AGAIN.

As long as the Trump-Vance administration keeps threatening federal workers β€” we will keep winning in court.

Pentagon watchdog says Hegseth’s Signal chats put troops at risk The inspector general produced two reports on the Defense secretary’s use of the messaging app to discuss sensitive Yemen strike plans.

Sec. Hegseth and other Trump-Vance leaders using Signal for highly sensitive communications not only violates records preservation laws but puts our national security at risk.

This is exactly why @democracyforward.org has taken legal action to hold them accountable.

With them today, we are keeping our eyes on the future. At our first CSS convening, we are doing the work so on the other side of this crisis: there’s real change and a path to build a democracy that truly listens to and works for all.

Some public servants may have been forced to leave the federal government, but they surely have not stopped fighting for the American people.

Reports of possible ICE raids in churches occurring this holiday season are alarming and incompatible with our Constitution.

We must ensure that faith communities can gather and worship, free from government coercion.

That’s why we’re in court.

Acts of political violence are characteristic of authoritarian regimes and dictatorships – not strong democracies.

Violence of any kind has no place in our society and we must all condemn it. Especially when it comes from the President.
