    Last night, released a final rule gutting its disparate impact regulations. Be clear: the administration is yet again undermining our civil rights laws & protections. Millions of people will be more vulnerable to housing discrimination – with fewer tools to challenge it.

    This was two years ago – the day the hearings began. We fought every day to stop Trump’s Supreme Court takeover, and we fight every day now for fair courts & to stop anti-civil rights judges. These are our courts, not Trump’s, and we’ll never stop fighting for them.

    . outside the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing: This Senate process will define who we are as a country for generations to come. That's why we're fighting to save the soul of our democracy.

    As Trump spreads voting misinformation, remember what McConnell is blocking: democracy reform (HR1), a Voting Rights Act restoration (HR4), USPS and election funding (HEROES Act), protections against foreign interference (SHIELD Act), and more. This is no way to run a democracy.
