    The DC Circuit ruled today that the Trump administration's trans military ban should be allowed to move forward. Thankfully, the trans ban still won't take effect. It is so blatantly unconstitutional that multiple other cases have been won blocking the ban — including ours.

    Preventing international human rights bodies from investigating the real-life impacts of your policies doesn’t just suggest a cover up. It tells other countries that they can act on their authoritarian impulses and get away with it.

    The publisher of the Arkansas Times doesn't think his newspaper should have to promise not to boycott Israel in order to do business — so he's suing.

    Congress should look like the country it represents: activists, immigrants, refugees, people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ people, young people, and more. We have a long way to go, but the 116th Congress represents real progress.

    America deserves a president who fights for government transparency — not against it. These reports provide critical info about fraud, waste, and unlawful conduct at government agencies. Hiding them from the public is the exact wrong thing to do.
