#BREAKING We just won our case against Betsy DeVos for illegally delaying protections for students cheated by predatory for-profit schools. #BorrowerDefenseRule
A federal court agreed that the actions of @usdoegov are not only wrong, they are illegal.

It is time for the #BorrowerDefenseRule to go into effect and give thousands of students the relief they’ve been waiting for. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…
For years we’ve fought for needed protections for student borrowers. No matter what this administration throws at us, we will continue to stand up for students and families in Massachusetts. #BorrowerDefenseRule

Acting AG Whitaker's hostility to the Special Counsel’s investigation disqualifies him from overseeing Robert Mueller. We are leading 18 state attorneys general in calling on Whitaker to recuse himself immediately. #ProtectMueller
Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein must be allowed to protect the Special Counsel and insulate the investigation from interference by the White House. #ProtectMueller
An Attorney General’s highest responsibility is to uphold the law and ensure public confidence in the impartial administration of justice.

They must lead an empowered and independent Department of Justice.

We hope that Acting AG Whitaker shares that goal. #ProtectMueller

#BREAKING We just sued the Trump Administration to end the cruel and illegal policy of tearing apart families, reunite parents and children, and ensure that this never happens again. #FamilesBelongTogether
As a result of this unconstitutional policy, a mother — now in Hyannis after an asylum officer found she faces persecution in Brazil — has been separated from her 9 year old son for almost a month.

Her child is still held in a shelter in Chicago. #FamiliesBelongTogther
Two Guatemalan children were separated from their mother and held in Michigan for five weeks. The children have been reunited with their father here in Massachusetts, but their mother is still being held in Texas. #FamiliesBelongTogther

These are just some of the ways the Trump Administration has attacked trans and nonbinary people in 2018.
Education. Betsy DeVos has rolled back protections for students filing reports of sexual assault on college campuses. These protections were critical for students who disproportionately experience sexual assault, such as trans and nonbinary students. aclu.org/blog/womens-ri…
Health Care. Just last week, the Trump DOJ asked a court to invalidate health care protections for trans and nonbinary people as part of the ACA. This case is a blatant attempt to keep trans and nonbinary people from accessing basic health care. slate.com/human-interest…

#Breaking: A federal judge is allowing a lawsuit accusing President Trump of violating the Constitution's emoluments clause to continue, rejecting a Justice Department motion to dismiss the case.
It’s the first ruling in federal court to define “emolument,” which goes undefined in the Constitution’s two emoluments clauses.
Federal District Judge Peter Messitte rejected the “cramped interpretation” of the term offered by Justice Department lawyers, who argued the case should be dismissed.

(THREAD) This thread unpacks the language and implications of the charges just brought against Russian national Marina Butina—Conspiracy to Commit An Offense Against the United States and Acting As An Agent of a Foreign Government Without Notification. Hope you'll read and share.
1/ The Washington Post somewhat misleading says in its article on the charges that they're "not part of the special counsel investigation into Russian interference." Note that in the sense any of us would ever care about that sentence—the practical sense—that statement is untrue.
2/ Whether or not Mueller is the prosecuting authority in the charges against Butina means absolutely nothing for whether he was and is being kept apprised of the work being done to prosecute her *and* any information that may result from that prosecution. The second part is key.

#BREAKING: Federal prosecutors just filed notice that they are dismissing charges against 38 Trump inauguration protest defendants who had been facing decades in prison after being mass-arrested at #J20 protests. Report coming soon.
Our new report breaks down today's #J20 legal news, which likely represents a decisive end to the troubled case in which federal prosecutors had been fighting tooth & nail to convict anti-Trump protesters based on a wide-reaching conspiracy theory unicornriot.ninja/2018/us-attorn…
We've been doing our best to cover the #J20 case since the events of January 20, when hundreds of people took to the streets of DC for a militant street march demanding "No Peaceful Transition" for the new Trump administration: unicornriot.ninja/2017/no-peacef…
