If the White House is embarrassed about the headlines yesterday of its retreat, it will be *really* embarrassed when it loses across the board on appeal. The First Amendment (among others) prohibits targeting these firms. And the President should quit before he gets further behind.

NEW and BREAKING: In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court. DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court. A day ago, DOJ had a very different position. w/ @Jonesieman @DevlinBarrett nytimes.com/2026/03/03/us/…

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…

Democracy in the United States is in crisis. But the story of this moment is not only one of crisis. It is also one of courage. Ahead of President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight, we released our new report ⬇️ democracyforward.org/work/research/…

Donald Trump called this the "golden age of America." For who? Grocery prices are up. Rent is up. Utility costs are up. Health care costs are up.

Tonight, President Trump will undoubtedly lie to the American people and try to convince you that the State of our Union is anything but what it *really* is. Our Union is weaker, Americans are less safe, and our rights are threatened with Donald Trump in the White House.

Today, we honor the Presidents who used their position to fight for a better America for EVERY person—not those who use their power to demonize & attack the LGBTQI+ community.

I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.

We proudly stand with @maura_healey for reelection. In her first term, she enacted the most generous child tax credit in the US, lowered housing & healthcare costs, expanded child care, strengthened K-12, and made community college free. She delivered. And she'll do it again.

BREAKING: We just blocked the Trump-Vance admin’s attempt to cut $12 million in funding from the American Academy of Pediatrics. We are grateful that children and families across the country will be able to access life-saving health services as we continue to fight this unlawful retaliation in court.

@HiltonNewsroom When a Hilton Hotel violated the ADA repeatedly and my family member sued them, the corporate response was that it had nothing to do with it. Fascinating how actions can be taken here though! Will love to see how this precedent is used for other civil rights cases going forward.

The Trump-Vance admin’s dismantling of the federal civil service hurts everyone. It threatens to delay social security, increase public health risks, and devastate local economies. Read our new People's Guide to learn how we're fighting back ⬇️ bit.ly/4rwK9dc
