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. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Three More Federal Prosecutors Resign over Dismissal of Eric Adams Probe

HeadlineApr 23, 2025

Here in New York, three more federal prosecutors have resigned to protest the Justice Department’s decision to drop federal corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for his cooperation with Trump’s immigration crackdown. In a joint resignation letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, prosecutors Celia Cohen, Andrew Rohrbach and Derek Wikstrom write, “The Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington. That is wrong.”
