More than 100 former civil rights lawyers at the Department of Justice shredded their former employer in a new letter for "largely abandoning its duty to protect civil rights."

In the letter, the lawyers argued that Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the DOJ's civil rights division, has fundamentally reshaped the division to serve the Trump administration's aims rather than administer justice. The letter was released at a time when the DOJ's civil rights office is pursuing lawsuits against several states for failing to turn over their voter rolls and focus its efforts on prosecuting anti-white discrimination.

"Many of us dedicated ourselves to this crucial work for years—some for decades— under both Democratic and Republican administrations," the letter reads in part. "Every election brought changes, but the fundamental mission of our work remained the same. That’s why most of us planned to stay at the Division following the 2024 election. But after witnessing this Administration destroy much of our work, we made the heartbreaking decision to leave—along with hundreds of colleagues, including about 75 percent of attorneys."

"Now, we must sound the alarm about the near destruction of DOJ’s once-revered crown jewel," they continued.

The DOJ's civil rights division was created in 1957 to pursue equal protection under the law for all Americans. The office has worked to overturn housing discrimination laws, fight redlining, and racial discrimination.

Under Dhillon's leadership, the letter said DOJ civil rights lawyers have become "suddenly absent" in communities across the country. It added that this absence leaves communities "vulnerable to further abuse."

"America deserves better," the letter reads.

"The future of the Civil Rights Division is in jeopardy, and with it, the rights it protects," it continued. "We hope that one day we can return the Division to its righteous work."

Gene Simmons, frontman for the rock band KISS, called out lawmakers on Tuesday during a hearing on a bill that would increase musician pay for songs played on AM/FM radio stations.

Gene Simmons, bassist and vocalist for the 70s rock band KISS, testified on Tuesday in support of The American Music Fairness Act during a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property. The bill would require radio stations to pay royalties for sound recordings, a loophole that Simmons said has been used to prevent American music legends like Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley from getting paid when their songs are played on the radio.

He asked lawmakers to support the bill and fix "an injustice that has been going on for many decades."

"How do we dare come in second to Russia, an alleged country led by a despot, when they do a better job of paying our king of rock and roll?" Simmons said. "We're going to stand by and not pay today's artists and future artists because, let's face it, our children are tomorrow's stars.

"When you work hard, and you get to the top, what do you got? Zipperooni. That's not the American way," Simmons continued. "If you are against this bill, you are un-American. You cannot let this injustice continue."

President Donald Trump has previously shown sympathy for issues raised by similar artists. In 2018, Trump signed the Music Modernization Act, which was supported by artists such as Smokey Robinson and Maren Morris, to update U.S. copyright laws to adapt to the streaming age.

Katie Miller’s sweeping claims of “terroristic” threats against her family unraveled after a police report revealed the supposed danger was nothing more than non-threatening political chalk outside her $3.75 million home. Despite her Fox News warnings of doxing, death threats, and unsafe neighbors, Virginia police found no crimes — undercutting her recent dramatic retellings and her vow that the family “will not cower in fear,” even as they quietly moved to a military base.
