BREAKING: A federal judge just issued a new nationwide block against Trump’s EO seeking to end birthright citizenship. Another loss for Trump. Another win for the Constitution. If you are born in America you are a citizen. It’s literally in the Constitution.

Standing up for human rights and due process is not a crime. Asking to see a warrant is not a crime. ICE's unjustified arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was an abuse of power and unnecessary escalation of force. People can see through the Trump Administration's lies.

Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.

They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
