Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It is often weakened by attacks on the institutions in the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January of 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

We're in court today challenging the anti-trans Kansas law that bans trans people from bathrooms that align with their gender on government property, invalidates driver's licenses with updated gender markers, and lets people sue anyone they suspect of violating the law for damages up to $1,000.

Abortion is healthcare! And it should be treated as such. That’s why our lawyers work around the globe to get outdated laws and policies off the books and ensure safe and private access to care WITHOUT punishment. Learn more about this important work:

🔊anti-abortion extremists are pushing disinformation. Mifepristone is safe. It's effective. And it's been used for decades. The problem isn't science. It's a political campaign to restrict abortion access. Know what's happening. Help us fight back by sharing the truth.
The image features a bold message about Mifepristone. It states that the drug is safe, effective, and FDA-approved for decades. The message warns that anti-abortion extremists are attempting to restrict it. It concludes with "Know the facts. Fight the attacks." Pills frame the border. The phrase "Reproductive Freedom for All" appears at the bottom. The background is purple.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg—often called RBG—was a pioneering U.S. lawyer, gender-equality advocate, and Supreme Court justice. She served on the Court from 1993 until her death on September 18, 2020, and remains one of the most influential legal figures in modern American history.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg died #OTD in 2020. Champion of race & gender equality. Pioneering lawyer on women’s equality. Civil rights hero. Major pop icon. Notorious RBG. Key justice on America's highest court. #WomensRights #CivilRights #SCOTUS #RBG
A three-panel chronological photo collage of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933–2020), tracing her historic journey from a pioneering civil rights lawyer to an influential Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The composition transitions from left to right across three distinct eras. The left panel: A black-and-white portrait of a young Ginsburg, smiling warmly with bright, forward-facing eyes. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a patterned blazer over a draped scarf, exuding a welcoming yet determined mood. The center panel: A color portrait from her early Supreme Court tenure. She wears her hair pulled back into her signature low ponytail with a black bow, paired with large, gold-rimmed glasses and elegant gold earrings. Donning her judicial robes with a crisp white jabot, her thoughtful expression reflects her status as a formidable legal mind. The right panel: A portrait of Ginsburg in her later years against a rich red backdrop. Her hair is sleekly pulled back, showing turquoise earrings that contrast with her black robes and intricate white lace jabot. She looks directly at the camera with a subtle, resilient smile, projecting an aura of quiet strength. The overall mood shifts seamlessly from youthful optimism to seasoned, historic authority.

This makes it crystal clear. Trump doesn’t want to save the Kennedy Center. He wants another monument to himself. The place is reportedly facing financial collapse, and somehow the rescue plan involves putting his name on the building. It was never about the arts. Or about saving the place.

My spirit lingers at the Kennedy Center, reminiscing. The Center’s board of trustees claim Trump’s name “must” go on the building to save it. I hope the Kennedy family is suing them for running it into the ground and violating their fiduciary duty, which is to the Center, not Trump.

A ProPublica analysis found that the number of people dying as a result of ectopic pregnancies has nearly doubled nationwide. The increase is even steeper in states with abortion bans. Abortion bans make lifesaving care harder to get—and the consequences can be deadly.

Suffragist Emma Smith DeVoe (d. #OTD 1927) is known as the "Mother of #WomensSuffrage" in Washington State. She was the primary architect behind the 1910 amendment to the Washington constitution granting women the right to vote—10 years before the 19th Amendment. Midterm election: 61 days. #Vote
A profile photograph of American suffragist Emma Smith DeVoe (1848–1927), known as the "Mother of Women's Suffrage" in Washington State for orchestrating the 1910 state constitutional amendment granting women the right to vote. The monochrome portrait captures DeVoe from the chest up, positioned in a right-facing side profile against a plain, softly vignette light background. She looks forward with a calm, composed, and serious expression, her mouth closed in a neutral line. Her dark hair is styled in a voluminous, classic early-20th-century pompadour bun gathered tightly at the back of her head, exposing a small, delicate drop earring. She wears a high-necked, lace-trimmed Victorian or Edwardian blouse with intricate embroidery along the collar. A dark, contrasting rectangular trim or strap accents her chest, framing the pleated front of her garment. The soft lighting emphasizes her features and the textures of her clothing, evoking a formal, dignified, and historic mood.
