Yet again, President Trump and his allies are engaged in an unlawful and harmful use of military force in another American city.

The people of Tennessee deserve leaders who respect the limits of their office and the rule of law.

That's what we're fighting for in court.

Leaked chats expose Young Republicans peddling racism, fascism & Hitler worship in bombshell Politico report Alongside the rise of hidden Republican cliques like the β€œA-Gays,” a newly revealed Young Republicans chat empties the shadows with language of violence, slurs, and whispered extremism.

They don’t want to be called fascists, but Republicans are openly celebrating it.

President Trump lied on the campaign trail because he knew how deeply unpopular Project 2025 is.

Now he's vowing to implement its agenda.

Our team has been fighting it in court since Day 1 and we will continue doing so to protect people & the institutions they rely on.

President Trump spent $15 billion in taxpayer dollars to lose 200,000+ federal jobs and millions of combined years of experience.

We lit up Washington, D.C. to expose the Trump-Vance administration’s reckless dismantling of the federal government.
