Today’s hearing is about more than just a golf course — it’s about making sure the president doesn’t put his agenda above the American people.
As @SkyePerryman said on @CNN, we will continue fighting in court to ensure that our country’s checks and balances hold power to account.

We're suing the Trump admin over policies that make it harder or impossible for eligible immigrants living in the U.S. to obtain a green card without leaving the country.
This changes the rules on immigrants in the legal process and risks them being separated from their families.

The Department of Education just rolled back Title IX protections for LGBTQ+ students.
Trump is once again attacking the civil rights protections that help make our country great.
Illinois will remain a safe state for ALL students to pursue their dreams.

$100 million meant to prevent teen pregnancy is sitting unused, days before the fiscal year ends. All because HHS would rather withhold it than fund evidence-based sex education.

ICYMI: A judge blocked a question on more than 70,000 federal job postings that tested applicants’ support of President Trump instead of their qualifications.
Civil service hiring should be based on merit - not a political litmus test.

We’re representing a coalition of courageous plaintiffs in this case to prevent armed ICE agents from entering polling places.
We applaud these leaders for fighting to ensure all voters can vote without fear.

Anti-trans ballot measures don’t happen in isolation. Behind them are coordinated political networks investing millions of dollars to turn attacks on trans people into political power.

Trump‘s proposed weaponization of the IRS against educational institutions that support minority students tracks his continued bastardization of the SFFA decision and is wholly unlawful. It will be challenged in court and no school should obey in advance. nytimes.com/2026/09/03/busin…

Thank you Gloria for inspiring all of us and showing us the way.

NEW: As expected, a federal court has now blocked the Trump admin’s anti-voting USPS regulation. This shows the point many of us have been making — the SCOTUS decision last week wasn’t the final word. If chaos is the point, we have to fight the chaos. Be vigilant and keep going.
