Applaud the Court for Defending Transparency!

A federal judge just struck a powerful blow for government transparency and the rule of law.

After the Trump administration illegally took down a public website showing how federal funds are distributed to agencies, Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered its reinstatement, ruling that the White House violated federal law and must stop hiding this vital information from the public.

This decision reaffirms Congress’s authority to demand transparency and ensures that Americans have the right to know how their tax dollars are being spent. As Rep. Brendan Boyle put it: “This is a major win for transparency and for Congress’s power of the purse.”

Add your name to applaud this landmark ruling and stand up for accountability, transparency, and the public’s right to know.
