Good riddance.

This is the impact of public pressure, including more than 10,000 letters from JDCA volunteers demanding Noem’s impeachment.

But the Trump admin's cruelty won't end because there’s a new boss at DHS. Our work toward accountability and change must continue.

Judges in a Trump stronghold condemn ICE tactics β€œIf the government may simply seize someone without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize anyone,” one judge wrote.

Even federal judges in the reddest states are calling out ICE for going too far.

Four judges in deep-red West Virginia who have been inundated by ICE lawsuits are using their rulings to grab Americans by the shoulders and warn against a descent into authoritarianism:

β€œTrump has shown at every instance that freedom for the people of Iran is not his priority. Every few hours, the administration jumps to a new justification or objective for this war, but never is a democratic transition and self-determination for Iranians a part of the discussion.”

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

Another racist and antisemitic Republican group chat...

This time, Republicans from Miami used slurs hundreds of times. One member even described the chat as β€œNazi heaven.”

We’re discouraged but not surprised. This is what happens when the White House emboldens & embraces the extreme far right.

Support the Iran War Powers Resolution We urge every member of the Senate and House to reassert their constitutionally mandated authority over the use of U.S. military force and support the War Powers Resolution when it comes before them for a vote this week.

Our hope for a democratic future for the Iranian people does not eliminate the need for President Trump to seek and receive the authorization of Congress for continued military operations.

Urge your representatives to back the War Powers Resolution:

It’s a Holy Time, but Immigrants in Detention Are Denied Access to Observe

ICE standards say detainees must be allowed to practice their faith. Yet priests had to sue just to administer ashes on Ash Wednesday, and Muslim detainees lack chaplains during Ramadan.

This is not how a country that prides itself on religious liberty should operate.

US troops were told war on Iran was β€˜all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

Military commanders are reportedly invoking Christian nationalist rhetoric about biblical β€œend times" to justify the decision to strike Iran.

This admin seems to have a different rationale for this war every day, but a Christian nationalist agenda is incredibly dangerous.

The Impossible Predicament of the Uninsured My aunt couldn’t afford to go to the hospital. She ended up there anyway.

β€œShe pulled over but didn’t go to the hospital; she couldn’t afford it.”

Now, with ACA subsidies slashed by Republicans and premiums rising by hundreds per month, Americans face the same choice. Trump’s plan offers few answers for those without coverage.

Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

Across more than 90 races since 2024, Democrats have overperformed by an average of 13 points.

Arkansas is the latest example – the ninth time Democrats flipped a district in a special election since the start of Trump’s second term. Momentum matters going into the midterms.

We are proud to stand with him to bring Democrats one step closer to taking back the Senate. Onward to November!

As Jewish Americans, we’re deeply concerned about the consequences of the White House effectively blaming Israel for its decision to launch a war against Iran.

We mourn the lives of four U.S. service members and twelve Israelis tragically lost in the past two days, and we are praying for those injured.

We are deeply concerned about President Trump’s shifting objectives and lack of strategy on Iran.

The Iranian regime has oppressed and killed its own people and is responsible for the murders of Americans, Israelis, and Jews around the world.

But as we’ve learned from history, launching a conflict in the Middle East is far easier than ending one.

6,000 Syrians legally built their lives in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status. Trump wants them deported anyway.

The immigration crackdown is threatening to send thousands back into instability. Cruelty should not be policy.

What Trump avoided in the State of the Union could haunt him in November The president’s state of the union was notable for something his second term has largely lacked: restraint.

No new solutions. No serious policy proposals. Just political theater and the exploitation of American heroism that was completely unrelated to Trump.

We deserve more.

We know where this is going.

Trump and RFK Jr’s nominee for Surgeon General is conveniently avoiding telling us her thoughts on vaccines before her confirmation hearing.

I think we all know why.

Trump’s Favorite Voter-ID Bill Would Probably Backfire Congressional Republicans are trying to pass a strict β€œelection integrity” law that seems almost custom-designed to disenfranchise their own supporters.

The SAVE Act would upend our voting system in ways that will hit working families, rural communities, and married women the hardest.

Democracy should be accessible to everyone.

Nick Shirley is a conservative agitator who has been praised by Vance and other GOP leaders and attended Trump's SOTU.

He's now openly supporting antisemitic conspiracy theories and content online and calling to "expose" Jewish Americans.

These are the people influencing leaders of the GOP.

CBS needs to explain why it is platforming someone who made such overtly antisemitic statements.

A disgusting display of antisemitism, invoking an age-old trope about Jews and money.

We condemn this antisemitism and those who perpetrated it, and we are grateful to the countless Democratic leaders who have spoken out against it.

Democrats demand special counsel investigation of Bondi, accusing her of perjury Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) are calling on the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of perjuring herself when asked about evidence relating to President Trump in the Epstein files.

Documents from the Epstein files directly contradict Pam Bondi’s claim that there is no evidence that Trump committed a crime.

Congress has a duty to act. @reptedlieu.bsky.social and @repdangoldman.bsky.social are right to call for accountability. Bondi cannot bend the law to protect Trump.

She was adopted from Iran by an Air Force veteran at age two. Now in her 50s, she’s facing a DHS removal order to Iran. She’s terrified of deportation.

Trump Calls for More Limits on Trans Youth

Last night, Donald Trump again chose division by turning marginalized kids into campaign talking points.

America is strongest when we defend civil rights, including for transgender youth. The priority should be ensuring students are safe in schools – not policing their identities.

They see Trump as cruel and corrupt.

Last night, Democrats won three more special elections. And we’re ready to keep winning in November and provide a check on Trump’s power.

Trump’s approval rating is the lowest it has been since directly following the January 6 insurrection.

Last night, he tried to distract voters with game-show theatrics rather than provide solutions for the floundering economy or the global crises he has blundered into. (2/3)
