You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong β€” you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

Democratic senators demand U.S. Park Police suspend hiring spree The oversight comes after The Post reported on the agency’s push to double in size and become β€œthe premier law enforcement agency in D.C.”

Trump cannot be allowed to weaponize the U.S. Park Police to assemble a federal police force under his direct control.

It’s dangerous, and it’s a clear escalation of Trump’s attempts to tighten his authoritarian grip.

HELL NO.

Transparency prevailing over secrecy.

On Monday, a federal court ruled that the Trump Admin must release records related to the secretly created group that wrote a widely-discredited report aimed at undermining the ability to combat the climate crisis: https://bit.ly/3XKyycT

CREW files SCOTUS amicus brief in support of coordinated expenditure limits for political party donationsΒ  - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Earmarking rules and disclosure laws cannot prevent all quid pro quo corruption that could occur through coordinated expenditures.

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in this case today, which could decide whether big donors can use political parties to funnel money to candidates.

Twenty years ago, the Court upheld party coordination limitsβ€”and we're urging them to do it again.

The president doesn’t have the authority to act as judge, jury, and executioner.

Killing civilians is a crime under both domestic and international law. That's why we and our partners are suing the Trump administration to demand they release their legal justifications for these unlawful strikes.
