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-…

NEW: Arizona cannot carry out its program to cancel voter registrations weeks before an election based on the Trump admin’s inaccurate SAVE database. We filed an amicus brief with SCOTUS, on behalf of @EPICprivacy, urging the Court to enforce the National Voting Rights Act's 90-day quiet period.

The public, through its elected officials, has the right to evaluate whether individuals meet the qualifications and ethical standards for government positions. Jared Kushner and the Trump admin have denied us that right. That's unacceptable and illegal. ms.now/opinion/jared-kushner…

We requested records from the Secret Service about if and how they recorded, tracked and screened attendees at Trump's April memecoin gala at Mar-a-Lago. They claim to have “no responsive records.” 🤔 citizensforethics.org/report…

Current and former State Department staff claim that the department is trying to push out its most senior foreign staff officers who stand in the way of Trump's agenda and replace them with those it views as more politically loyal. washingtonsun.com/administra…

How many taxpayer dollars are being wasted on Trump's attempts to suppress the vote? The fixation on tracking down nonexistent voter fraud and illegally trying to take control of elections is not just pathetic but a harmful and scandalous waste.

“The court has kind of blinded itself to the very deleterious effect of their rulings on how the political system works and has created a democracy that does not work as well as it should,” said Justice Elena Kagan about SCOTUS rulings. apnews.com/article/supreme-c…

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: This past weekend, Meta suspended the No Kings Instagram account for roughly 90 minutes. Americans need answers about whether the Trump admin was involved in this suspension. So we requested records immediately from DHS on Meta and No Kings.

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.
