BREAKING: We just sued Jared Kushner for unlawfully acting as one of the country's top diplomats without undergoing Senate confirmation or filing financial disclosures. It’s abundantly clear that he should be blocked from performing this outsized role: citizensforethics.org/legal-…

Trump's White House event today touting a "crackdown" on crypto scams is nothing more than a shameless distraction from the billions he's making from his own crypto ventures and his pardons of dozens of fraudsters. reuters.com/legal/government…

Trump called the judge overseeing a legal challenge to his DC golf course renovations a "crazed lunatic" on Truth Social. Personal attacks and hostile rhetoric against judges is on the rise, and our president is just adding fuel to the fire. Shameful. forbes.com/sites/conormurray…

The Trump admin's secret deal with a Venezuelan billionaire's private company will reportedly cement the power of those handpicked by the administration to govern and profit from Venezuelan oil. You bet that raises transparency and corruption concerns. propublica.org/article/trump…

NEW: The Secret Service claims to have “no responsive records” about Trump’s April memecoin gala at Mar-a-Lago, in response to a CREW FOIA request. The lack of records would imply that they did no vetting of Trump’s customers who got access to the president.

For more than a year, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has acted as one of the nation’s top diplomats without undergoing the Senate confirmation process or filing a single financial disclosure. If you’re asking how that’s legal, it’s not. ms.now/opinion/jared-kushner…

Jared Kushner cannot legally participate in meetings as Trump's envoy unless and until he is confirmed by the Senate and files financial disclosures. We sued to enforce the law last week. So, no, he can't join this meeting with Zelensky today. ft.com/content/581d8a59-b128…

District judges reportedly ruled that the Trump admin violated court orders in at least 31 lawsuits over 15 months, and that's not counting immigration cases. When will the Trump admin learn that court orders are NOT optional? cnn.com/2026/10/19/politics/…

NEW: We just filed a records request for any communications between Meta and DHS concerning the No Kings movement, protests or Meta social accounts. The public deserves to know whether the Trump admin is coordinating with Meta to suppress or censor No Kings accounts.

NEW: The Census Bureau should withdraw proposals to redefine “usual residence” and collect legal status data. We submitted a comment warning how the changes would disproportionately impact minority and immigrant communities and undermine data accuracy.
