A big win for our @DemocracyFwd team, co-counsel, and clients (as well as a win for the free press, our democracy, and the American people). Courage is the new currency. washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…

The fight for democracy is at our front door. It was inspiring for @DemocracyFwd to be at @sxsw with @staceyabrams to discuss how we, the people, can use our power to confront autocracy.

Beautiful tribute to Rob and Michele Reiner — who dedicated so much of their lives to fighting for social justice and defending our democracy. Rob and Michele will be remembered not just for the incredible art but also for the lives they changed through advocacy. Let's continue their legacy.

"We have a saying around our team at Democracy Forward…let them keep talking, let them keep tweeting." My take from last night on how Trump’s grand jury subpoena to Fed Chair Powell was quashed and why, even if it wasn’t, the DOJ would not prevail against him. rawstory.com/trump-fed-2676…

Judge Boasberg was right to block Trump’s retaliatory grand jury subpoena of Fed Chair Jerome Powell. But Trump and the DOJ are naïve to think they could even prevail before a grand jury. I joined @weeknightmsnow tonight to discuss: youtube.com/watch?v=DqHdWc…

President Trump and his administration have not been able to prevail on their retribution agenda at all – all bark, no bite. I joined Glenn Kirschner to break down the latest legal updates and @DemocracyFwd's weekend court wins: open.substack.com/pub/glennkirsc…

Thank you to Stetson's National Law & Higher Education Conference for inviting me to speak on @DemocracyFwd's work to protect school funding, equity, First Amendment rights, and more.

The record now shows two things: the seriousness of the violations and the power of the courts to stop them. We’ll continue to use every legal tool available to ensure that the Constitution applies to everyone and that the government is held accountable when it breaks the law..

DHS claims that people detained in Minnesota had access to legal counsel, but new evidence from our case reveals a different story. Through attorney declarations and documents obtained via our court-ordered discovery, here is what we found 🔽

BREAKING: Our team won a court order BLOCKING the Trump-Vance admin’s attempt to fast-track deportations and dismantle due process for non-citizens, including those seeking asylum. This ruling stops the admin from playing games with our immigration system and peoples lives.

Democracy Forward@DemocracyFwd

NEWS: We're suing to block the Justice Dept from eviscerating noncitizens’ right to appeal decisions in their immigration cases with its new rule. Despite what the Trump-Vance admin may think, everyone – regardless of citizenship status – has the right to due process. We will prove it in court. democracyforward.org/news/press-rel…

The law has not changed. Diversity, equity, and inclusion did not fail. It’s being abandoned for political gain. @DemocracyFwd joins partners in signing this NYT letter urging companies, regulators, and policymakers to stop giving in to anti-democratic demands.

A judge has confirmed what we have long known: Kari Lake took over not to lead the U.S. Agency for Global Media, but to dismantle it. This is a powerful affirmation of the rule of law, as threats to democracy loom not only around the world but here at home.

This is a big win for @DemocracyFwd, our clients, and co-counsel. A stroke of dark irony: Voice of America has played a critical role since World War II to combat misinformation and disinformation, often promulgated by the world’s autocrats. We are pleased to have secured this result as democracy backslides here at home.

JUST IN: Kari Lake was illegally elevated to the run US Agency for Global media, a federal judge ruled Saturday, concluding that all of her actions between July 31 and Nov. 19 are *void* and cannot be ratified retroactively. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

As I said on @TheWeekendMSNOW this morning, there are costs to doing the president’s bidding. Donald Trump can’t pardon a lawyer back into their bar license. We call on all lawyers to oppose efforts to undermine our professional ethics.

The legacy of Bloody Sunday calls us all to fiercely protect the hard-fought freedoms that those before us marched, sacrificed, and suffered for. Together, we can make the promise of democracy accessible for all.
