Trump Presses Republicans to Block Vote on Epstein Files Release Trump officials met in the White House Situation Room Wednesday with Lauren Boebert about her push for the Epstein files.

How many Trump officials are helping cover up the president’s involvement in this?

We’re suing to expose the administration’s handling of the Epstein Files because the American people deserve the truth.

Latest Epstein files knock White House on its heels The latest revelations stand to further fracture a party that already splintered once this year over the so-called Epstein files — during a much less politically fraught moment.

The truth about the Epstein Files is finally coming to light.

But the work is not done. Our lawsuit demands information on the extent of the Trump-Vance admin’s participation in this cover up. We will find out the truth in court.

“The Trump-Vance administration knows what to do with weakness. They don't know what to do with strength.”

Our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @crooked.com's @jonfavs.bsky.social at Crooked Con to discuss how the strength of the people powers the fight against authoritarianism.

NEW: The First Circuit has denied the Trump Admin’s motion to stay in our SNAP case. This means that full benefits should be paid after the SCOTUS stay expires. The court does not mince words about what the government has done here. Congrats to our clients, co-counsel, and @democracyforward.org.

Trump administration orders states to pause paying full SNAP benefits The Agriculture Department also demands that states “immediately undo” any steps they have taken to send full November payments to recipients of the food assistance program, referred to as food stamps...

Our litigation at @democracyforward.org has exposed this administration for what it is: cruel and willing to use the American people (including those who voted for the President) as political pawns. We will not stop fighting for the people. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Can’t make it up. While the AG seeks to advance a political agenda, our team @democracyforward.org will continue fighting for the American people and our Constitution This includes the 42 million people who are entitled to SNAP benefits. Join us.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social tonight to to discuss what it means that SCOTUS has temporarily halted the full funding of SNAP benefits.

"The administration is fighting tooth and nail to deprive over 40 million Americans of their food."

We just won a court order blocking the Dept. of Ed from violating the First Amendment rights of furloughed federal workers, whose out-of-office emails were changed – without notice or permission – to include partisan political language.

The President’s attempts to militarize U.S. cities is not a sign of strength – it’s a sign of weakness. We will continue to protect the American people’s power in court.

We will continue to shed light on President Trump’s callous disregard for the needs of millions across the country. He may keep partying at Mar-a-Lago, but we’ll keep showing up in court to protect SNAP benefits and the American people.

Unbelievable but believable.

BREAKING: We took the Trump-Vance administration back to court and WON AGAIN.

The court was clear today: the President must stop playing politics with the lives of 42 million people in America.

BREAKING: Our team @democracyforward.org and co-counsel just WON another court order to secure #SNAP. Judge finds Trump admin didn’t comply with prior order. FULL PAYMENTS must be paid across nation by tomorrow.

We should not need to go to court to force the Trump-Vance administration to provide food that all people are entitled to in this country.

But here we are, back in court to demand that the administration acts consistent with the judge’s order.

Democracy is not a spectator sport – it requires people and communities fighting every day to protect it.

While President Trump parties at Mar-a-Lago, we’re in court fighting for millions of people to receive vital food assistance.

We’re back in court today because President Trump is refusing to fully fund SNAP benefits.

We’re filing a motion asking the court to force the administration to comply with their order and ensure 42 million people won’t go hungry.

This is immoral. See you in court.

Perryman on SNAP Ruling: The good news is that people and communities stepped forward. Federal judges interpreted the law, and now people can breathe a sigh of relief—not because of the White House or Republicans in Congress, but because of the bravery of our clients and the tenacity of our lawyers.

It shouldn’t take a court order to force our President to provide essential nutrition that Congress has made clear needs to be provided.

But since that is what it takes, we will continue to use the courts to protect the rights of people.

Trump administration tells judge it will partially fund SNAP benefits using contingency funds A federal judge ruled Friday that the Agriculture Department must disburse funding for SNAP, also known as food stamps.

Because of the court order our team secured on Friday, the Trump-Vance administration is being forced to pay SNAP benefits from contingency funds.

Yet, even after losing in court, they are back today trying to deprive people of their full benefits under SNAP.

Just another week at @democracyforward.org ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

If the Trump admin appeals this order, it will show all of America that it is doubling down on depriving 40+ million people of food. We have secured this win for the American people, SNAP will be available, and we will continue to block efforts to play politics w people’s lives @democracyforward.org

We want people to know: there are lawyers that are going to fight in court every single day to make sure that their rights are protected.

BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to cut off food assistance for 42 million people during the ongoing government shutdown.

We'll keep fighting to ensure that federal programs serve their lawful purpose: to help, not harm, people and communities.

BREAKING: Federal court just GRANTED our court order to block Trump admin from shutting down SNAP. Order also issued in state AG case. Hope millions can breathe a sigh of relief. Incredible work to @democracyforward.org and our co-counsel.

SNAP benefits are not a political weapon.

The Trump-Vance admin keeps trying to fire federal workers during the government shutdown—and it keeps losing to us in court.

This indefinite block of mass firings protects the civil servants that the American people rely on.

President Trump has committed various acts of corruption at the expense of the American people. We're calling it out.

Our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social to discuss President Trump's abuses of power, including an unlawful proposal for a third presidential term.

Today, our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social will join @govpritzker.illinois.gov for an important conversation on how the American people have come together to protect against the Trump-Vance admin's escalating threats to their lives and rights, and how to navigate the fight ahead.
