Judge limits warrantless immigration arrests in DC The judge ruled the arrests require probable cause showing a suspect is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained.

Thank you for ruling in favor of our most basic civil rights. This mass dehumanization campaign must end.

We are grateful to these lawmakers for courageously speaking out to make clear that servicemembers can - and must - refuse to carry out illegal orders.

All members of Congress should denounce President Trump's alarming, unacceptable rhetoric calling for violence against them.

πŸ€” Our leaders claim there isn’t enough money to feed the hungry or provide health care to all.

Yet billions of continue to flow to weapons and war.

That imbalance is a moral crisis … and one we can change.

The Trump administration has the funds and full authority to prevent millions of people going hungry, but is again playing politics with people’s lives. Food should never be a political weapon.

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out of the Pentagon rather than comply with its restrictive policies.

President Trump is trying to deploy the military and federal law enforcement in U.S. cities to stoke fear, suppress free speech, and expand his power by any means necessary.

People across the country must keep pushing back and advocating for their communities and their rights.

Congress is losing its grip on the power to spend Americans’ money Congress is supposed to control spending, but increasingly, the White House is dictating how America’s money is used.

Our democratic system relies on the separation of powers.

Congress must fund essential services and defend its power of the purse against the Trump administration's authoritarian overreach.

As the ACLU puts it, "This memorandum is part of the President’s larger pattern of abusing his power to target critics."
