The Trump-Vance admin will continue to be met with swift legal action every time they try to undermine our elections.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we won’t stop fighting against the $1.776 billion slush fund until we have legally binding documentation that it is dead.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services refuses to turn over records about the Trump-Vance admin’s efforts to use and share citizenship data in connection with election-related activities. We’re suing to get at the truth of the admin's election overreach ahead of the 2026 midterms.

As primaries and the midterm general elections approach, it’s critical to know your rights at the polls.

“People know cheating and favoritism when they see it. That’s why this is so deeply unpopular with the American public.” – @skyeperryman.bsky.social on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

We know posturing when we see it. Acting AG Todd Blanche won’t make the assurances in court that President Trump’s slush fund is gone for good — even though he can post about it on X. CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social to talk about our latest demand for answers.

BREAKING: Acting AG Todd Blanche wants the American public to believe a late-night social media post is proof that President Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund is completely dead — but seemingly still won't swear to it in court. We're demanding the DOJ say under oath that the fund cannot be revived.

HHS is proposing unlawful, dramatic data privacy changes to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program that allow federal and state agencies broad access to data for millions of families – including SSNs and immigration status. It's a violation of federal law. We'll prove that in court.

Docs obtained through our lawsuit paint a startling picture of Todd Blanche & Kash Patel’s coordinated efforts to cover for public figures mentioned in the Epstein Files. The Trump-Vance admin wants the American people to forget about how it’s handling the files. We'll keep demanding transparency.

The Trump-Vance admin is prioritizing politics over people by making unlawful changes to a program that helps low-income Americans access healthcare. People nationwide could lose critical family planning services – from birth control, to cancer screenings, to STI testing. We’re fighting back.

DHS is secretly collecting the personal info of people who observe or protest ICE into a database – a gross violation of the Privacy Act. We're challenging this abuse of power.

Young women deserve the chance to get an education, pursue a career, and start a family when they're ready. That's what the Clinton administration's National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy—now Power to Decide—was all about. And it worked: teen pregnancies fell to an all-time low.
