Congress must step up as representatives of the American people and not rely on the Supreme Court justices to interpret the Constitution. Hear from Professor @nikobowie.bsky.social:

CAP's latest analysis confirms what many have already suspected: Trump's deployments of the National Guard into American cities were never about stopping crime—it's all a dangerous power grab by the administration. https://ampr.gs/4wIPPmn

"We have an anti-Constitutional Supreme Court." The U.S. Supreme Court is tasked with enforcing the laws that Congress—as the representative of the American people—passes. @legaldefensefund.bsky.social's Deuel Ross explains:

Child care affects households in every corner of America—from the rural communities of Appalachia, where families might drive an hour to reach the nearest licensed provider, to dense urban neighborhoods where waitlists stretch months to years long. https://ampr.gs/4wxeIRJ

From Black to Indigenous to LGBTQ+ rights and history, the Trump administration's efforts to censor the stories of marginalized groups on public lands are a coordinated campaign to determine whose history is worth telling—and who belongs in America. https://ampr.gs/3Rb7J1O

More than 40.2 million disabled voters were eligible to vote in 2024, yet a wave of restrictive voting laws and regulations has made it more difficult for disabled voters to cast their ballot.

The U.S. Supreme Court continued its trend of eroding Americans’ rights and freedoms this term with several disastrous decisions for our democracy. Expert panelist and law professor @anthonymkreis.bsky.social implores us to look to Congress and other elected officials to defend our rights:

This past Sunday, Super Typhoon Bavi hit the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, areas that are both still recovering from an earlier major storm. Extreme weather events are no longer rare—they're here to stay.

With utility costs on the rise, people are forced to make life or death decisions during extreme heatwaves. No one should have to choose between buying groceries and cooling their home.

Trump and congressional Republicans' "Big Beautiful Bill" is expected to leave 10 million more Americans uninsured by 2034—a reality that's already started to unfold a year into the law. It's sickening.

14 states now have SAVE Act-like laws, making the threat of blocking American citizens from voting even more inevitable. Dive deeper into the laws for each of the 14 states: https://ampr.gs/4atAbT8

The Trump administration is attempting to rewrite American history by censoring the stories of marginalized groups in more than one-third of U.S. national parks. Explore the full table: https://ampr.gs/3R7aAZH

From our friends @americanprogressaction.org: A year after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, four Trump policies have raised costs on American families by $2,072 to $3,569, and a Republican-led Congress gave him the votes to do it. https://bit.ly/4eZ7D5p

CAP’s @thmoore.bsky.social explains how the Supreme Court’s decision on National Republican Senatorial Committee vs. FEC does not impact Hawaii’s Act 11, the first-in-the-nation law to get dark and corporate money out of politics.

A Republican-led Congress has cleared the way for Trump's disastrous policies—costing American families an additional $2,072 in gas, utility, and tariff costs. This was entirely avoidable. Learn more from our friends at @americanprogressaction.org: https://bit.ly/4eZ7D5p

One president is a true “Conservation President,” and one is named Donald Trump. Learn how President Trump is taking steps to dismantle America’s legacy of conservation, including acting to remove protections from more than 100 million acres of public lands: https://ampr.gs/3QpYhYd

The Trump administration's so-called "Religious Liberty Commission" is actually about religious privilege for the president's allies. Check out our report for a more authentic vision of religious liberty for all: https://ampr.gs/43CdgRH

"The devil is in the details." Questions surrounding the U.S. bilateral health deals still need answers. Hear from CAP Senior Fellow Daniele Nyirandutiye:

The latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda exposes how countries still lack permanent systems to deploy strategic resources. CAP's Daniele Nyirandutiye explains:

While Trump's SAVE Act has been stalled in Congress, 12 states have passed SAVE Act-like laws since 2024. The threat of these SAVE Act-like laws blocking American citizens from voting isn't hypothetical, it's inevitable.

@americanhumanist.bsky.social's Fish Stark on Pete Hegseth weaponizing faith in the military: "The real infection is the idea that the military is built to serve an extreme religious ideology, rather than the U.S. Constitution."

From the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota, President Trump is putting beloved public lands and waters across the country—and America’s conservation legacy—at risk of being permanently altered or destroyed.

President Trump is threatening 86 million acres of our beloved landscapes and wildlife across the country—putting America’s conservation legacy at risk of being permanently destroyed. Learn more: https://ampr.gs/3QpYhYd

President Trump is pouring millions of taxpayer dollars into the Reflecting Pool, while actively harming green spaces across the country.

Alondra, an emergency department registered nurse and DACA recipient, must cross state lines every day to provide essential patient care because of state licensing restrictions.

American households and businesses will continue to pay the costs for Trump's reckless war in Iran.

The Trump administration is weaponizing the Christian faith to serve its own political agenda. @interfaithalliance.org President and CEO @raushenbush.bsky.social explains:

At a time when the nation should be renewing its commitment to the Constitution's promise of liberty and equality for all, Trump's "Religious Liberty Commission" is advancing a narrow idea of religious freedom. Hear from Rachel Laser of @americansunited.bsky.social:

Fish Stark of @americanhumanist.bsky.social explains how religious freedom is more than just about the right to pray, it is foundational to protecting all the civil and human rights that we have in the United States.

Black history is being erased from public lands and waters—and we have the receipts.
