URGENT: Hours before Tennessee was set to execute the first woman in the state in more than 200 years today, a federal court temporarily paused Christa Pike's execution. Tell Governor Lee to respect the court's decision and call off her execution NOW.

We’re back in federal appeals court today demanding accountability for over 100 Venezuelan men who were sent away to CECOT in March 2025. A federal judge’s inquiry must continue into Trump administration officials who willfully violated a court order blocking the men’s removal flights.

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.

It's one thing to be so incredibly incompetent as Eric Schmitt that your dramatic "GOTCHA" moment falls apart in real time. It is quite another thing to be so incredibly dishonest as Eric Schmitt that you then go on a right-wing show and pretend it didn't happen. "My job is to ask the questions."😜

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.

If Jack Smith was really up to no good and secretly colluding with Fani Willis in Atlanta, I doubt he would risk being seen in public at a big sporting event while there. It's not very smart to assume Smith would take such a careless risk.
