(3) Candor to courts and respect for court orders
(4) Defense of civil rights and constitutional limits on executive power

Today we filed a lawsuit to block President Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund. The plan is to funnel your taxes directly into the pockets of convicted criminals, violent insurrectionists, and Trump’s own business pals.

We’re suing to block a $1.8B taxpayer‑funded slush fund.

After public pressure shut down Trump's IRS lawsuit, he moved to Plan B.

Now they want to funnel your tax dollars to Jan 6ers and political insiders—behind closed doors.

We’re taking this to court to protect your money and make sure it’s used to lower costs not reward corruption.
