BREAKING: We filed a brief last night on behalf of TX voters to push back against Gov. Abbott’s attempt to silence people. Gov Abbott’s attempt to expel a sitting state representative is not only unconstitutional – it could set a dangerous precedent that would be toxic to our democracy.
BREAKING: We secured a court order requiring the State Dept to preserve & account for Signal messages of senior national security officials, including Sec. Marco Rubio. This is an important step to force accountability for an admin that’s shown alarming disregard for transparency required by law.
