The Pentagon will place 600 military lawyers as immigration judges. Immigration courts already lack independence. Handing them to active-duty officers erases neutrality, dissolves the separation of powers, & forces military rule in civilian law- it collapses rule of law into authoritarian command.

Without arrest, trial and conviction of a crime. I mean where the hell is the evidence? This is just murder.

OMG! This needs a warning on the video! Maybe someone in the Trump Administration should have had these alleged drug dealers arrested and charged with a crime rather than murdering them.

Venezuela is not the enemy of the United States. Killing those 11 persons on that unarmed boat is an unprovoked act of war. It’s something that Putin would do. Trump is responsible for this criminal act. U.S cannot arbitrarily execute/murder in international waters, even if the boat carried drugs.

Newsom v. Trump: a federal court granted our injunction, blocking Trump’s illegal use of the military for domestic law enforcement. The ruling is clear: Trump is breaking the law by trying to create a national police force with himself as its chief.

Today’s court ruling is what we’ve been warning about for months: Trump is unlawfully using the military to terrorize Americans, including kids and hardworking immigrants — many of whom have contributed to this country and are part of American families.

Because Texas is the toughest in the nation in which to vote and register to vote, it’s critical that we do everything we can to elevate voting rights to the forefront of the state and national conversation.

In addition to our work registering people to vote and helping them in both natural and man-made disasters, we have also aggressively organized Texans in the fight for greater voting rights. Our thinking: how are we going to make things better if so many millions are locked out of voting?

Our in-person, volunteer-driven registration program has worked to overcome these challenges, and our focus on young voters has proven particularly effective. In 2024, the young Texans we helped register voted at a rate of 79%. The national average for this demographic is 42%.

Texas is the toughest state in the nation for people to join the rolls. There is no online voter registration, no automatic voter registration and no same-day voter registration here. And laws surrounding the few available means of getting registered are onerous and confusing.
