Trump has made clear he’ll do what he wants without regard for the Constitution, like his first-day EO trying to eliminate birthright citizenship. Learn more in our latest op-ed for The Hill.

Trump just fired Pam Bondi Read about Trump's recent firing of Pam Bondi and what it could mean for future actions against our democracy.

Trump just removed the top law enforcement official because she was not aggressive enough in investigating his perceived political enemies. The DOJ is supposed to enforce the law, not serve as a tool for revenge.

Trump’s department of injustice: Impunity for friends, brutality for enemies The brazen lack of accountability for the rich and well-connected undermines public faith in our democracy.
