Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. Judge Orders Reinstatement of Illegally Fired NLRB Member, Tells Trump He Is Not a King

HeadlineMar 07, 2025

A federal judge on Thursday ruled that Trump illegally fired a member of the National Labor Relations Board in January, and ordered Gwynne Wilcox be reinstated. Judge Beryl Howell wrote, “A president who touts an image of himself as a 'king' or a 'dictator,' perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.”

In related news, the nonprofit union-focused watchdog LaborLab is warning against Trump’s pick to head the Office of Labor-Management Standards. Elisabeth Messenger was previously the CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment, an anti-union advocacy group.
