- Reposted by Democracy Defenders ActionMusk & DOGE have acted far beyond advisory—violating the Constitution’s Appointments Clause Judge Chuang’s ruling is a victory for every federal worker devastated by Musk’s campaign of destruction statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/federal...
- WE WON! PI granted in substantial part in our @sddaction.bsky.social appointments clause case re USAID
- Musk is trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court—and allegedly breaking the law to do it. We @ SDDA fully support the newly filed ethics complaint alleging Musk’s financial misconduct. If he can do it in WI, he can do it anywhere. Voters must fight back April 1.
- Reposted by Democracy Defenders ActionThe Senate must reject the partisan continuing resolution passed earlier this week by the House. It is nothing more than a power grab masked as a budget proposal that would gut essential programs and hand over unchecked authority to Trump & billionaire allies.
- Reposted by Democracy Defenders ActionBREAKING: A U.S. district judge has granted the expansion of a temporary restraining order against OPM on behalf of terminated probationary fed. workers VA, Agriculture, Interior, Energy, Defense, and Treasury departments must reinstate all fired probationary workers, effective immediately.

- Reposted by Democracy Defenders ActionNEW: SDDF & Mark S. Zaid, Esq. just filed a lawsuit against DHS & FEMA on behalf of fmr. FEMA CFO Mary Comans—who was fired after 20+ years of service. The lawsuit alleges DOGE illegally targeted Comans & other DHS employees after providing life-saving housing services. 🧵1/2
- Reposted by Democracy Defenders Action“My tenure at FEMA has spanned four administrations, both Republican and Democratic...My termination is not based on merit but rather is politically motivated,” said Comans. The Executive Branch does not have authority to purge nonpartisan civil servants w/o due process—we’re seeking justice.
- Reposted by Democracy Defenders ActionAs the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday approaches, SDDF proudly endorses Rep. Terri Sewell’s reintroduction of the John R.
