SCOTUS has reshaped our democracy — weakening voting rights, unleashing secret money in politics and expanding presidential power. In the Season 5 premiere of Democracy Decoded, @leahlitman.bsky.social joins CLC experts to discuss the real-world impact of SCOTUS decisions and what can be done.

BREAKING: The Utah Supreme Court leaves in place our lower court victory striking down the state's gerrymandered congressional map. New, fair districts will be in place for the 2026 election. Campaign Legal Center will continue to fight for fair maps.

NEW: @campaignlegal.org, the @aclu.org and @aclumo.bsky.social are representing Missouri voters in a legal challenge to the state’s new congressional district map, which violates redistricting rules in the state constitution. LEARN MORE: campaignlegal.org/update/campa...

BREAKING: We’re suing to block Missouri’s new gerrymandered congressional map that was illegally enacted mid-decade after a push from President Trump. The map splits up the Kansas City area and separates closely united communities, in clear violation of the state constitution. 1/

I am very much looking forward to moderating a discussion tomorrow with top experts on the systematic dismantling of ethics guardrails and watchdog agencies at the federal government, hosted by @campaignlegal.org and COGEL. This session is open to the public. Register now!

How did our democracy reach such a precarious moment—and what can we do to fix it? Season 5 of CLC's Democracy Decoded podcast will dig into the structural cracks in our system and explore how to rebuild a democracy that works for everyone. Get a sneak peek with our new trailer:

🧵@campaignlegal.org and our co-counsel are formally asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear arguments in defense of Americans’ right to sue to enforce the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Our clients are Native voters who are defending fair voting maps. 1/ campaignlegal.org/update/bring...

BIG NEWS: After years of advocating for congressional stock trading reform, CLC is pleased a bipartisan bill was introduced in the House to ban sitting members, and their spouses and dependents, from trading stock. We applaud this effort and urge its passage.

BREAKING: CLC is celebrating a victory for Latino voters in Washington’s Yakima Valley, where a fair legislative district will remain in place thanks to a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. campaignlegal.org/update/latin...

🧵The years-long fight for a fair congressional map in Utah has taken a huge step forward following a court ruling in favor of our clients. @campaignlegal.org is proud to represent Utah voters in this effort. Learn more: 1/ campaignlegal.org/update/win-g...

BREAKING: In a big victory for Utah voters’ right to fair voting maps and our clients LWV of Utah and the Mormon Women for Ethical Government, Utah's congressional map has been struck down following our lawsuit alleging the districts are illegal partisan gerrymanders.

A new Trump administration effort to change IRS rules by executive fiat would add fuel to the raging inferno of unlimited dark money spending during elections. @campaignlegal.org is determined to do everything we can to stop this unlawful abuse of executive power. www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-su...

President Trump's IRS is unlawfully attempting to allow houses of worship and religious orgs to engage in partisan politics. This could create a new class of “super dark money groups” that not only funnel secret money into elections — but get a tax break for it. We're fighting back.

🧵In 30+ years of working to limit the influence of big money in our elections, I’ve learned that creative solutions are key. That’s why I’m very pleased that Seattle residents have voted to continue funding the city’s first-in-the-nation Democracy Vouchers Program. 1/

51 years ago, President Richard Nixon resigned after the Watergate investigation exposed rampant corruption and campaign finance abuses. But what was once was enough to end a presidency has now become alarmingly normalized, says CLC president @thetrevorpotter.bsky.social.

🧵Today is the 60th anniversary of the federal Voting Rights Act (VRA), a law that countless advocates have fought to protect and strengthen, including @campaignlegal.org's late Executive Director Gerry Hebert. His absence is especially felt on a day like this. 1/

As I told @npr.org's Mara Liasson for her new report, President Trump is playing with fire by blatantly ignoring presidential norms. The consequences for the rule of law and even our economy could be profound. 1/ www.npr.org/2025/07/29/n...

NEW: CLC analysis found that members of Congress traded millions in stocks after the Trump admin's announcement of vast tariffs sent global markets into a spiral. A ban on lawmakers buying or selling stocks while in office is needed now more than ever.

President Trump and Republican lawmakers have set off an apparent mid-decade redistricting “arms race” in American politics ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Read my analysis of this high-stakes fight in the latest edition of my newsletter. 1/ www.linkedin.com/pulse/unders...

My statement on today's #SCOTUS win for Native voters: We are pleased to see the Supreme Court uphold decades of precedent and affirm voters’ power to enforce their voting rights in court by staying the 8th Circuit’s decision against citizen access to challenge discrimination. 1/

🚨BREAKING: The Supreme Court keeps in place hard-won representation for Native voters in North Dakota. The ruling also protects the rights of voters in 7 states to challenge discriminatory voting laws and maps under the Voting Rights Act. 1/

We're excited to share that our podcast, Democracy Decoded, is a 2025 GOLD dotCOMM Award winner! Catch up on our acclaimed Season 4, which explored the systems that ensure our elections are safe, secure and accurate. And get ready for Season 5—coming soon! democracydecoded.org

States across the country are passing bills similar to the SAVE Act that would require unnecessary and difficult-to-obtain documents to register to vote. We've sued over these laws in 4 states so far to protect eligible voters from being disenfranchised.

🧵Voters have a right to know who is trying to influence their vote and our elections, but far too often, the Federal Election Commission shirks its duty to enforce campaign finance laws and looks the other way when election spenders violate important disclosure rules. 1/

🧵With my friend stephencolbert.bsky.social getting a lot of attention right now, I wanted to say how much I admire Stephen for his integrity, his dedication to seeking the truth and his efforts to educate his audience about important issues. 1/

🧵When lawmakers draw discriminatory voting maps that violate the federal Voting Rights Act, citizens & organizations have a right to challenge those maps in court. @campaignlegal.org is urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold this right on behalf of our clients in North Dakota. 1/

BREAKING: On behalf of Native voters in North Dakota, we plan to take the fight for fair voting maps to the U.S. Supreme Court. The 8th Circuit's decision to strip voters in 7 states of fair representation is dangerous, and we will fight to reverse it.

Independence Day gives us a moment to reflect on the values our nation was founded on — and the clear threat they face from the Trump administration. Campaign Legal Center is doubling down on our commitment to protecting America’s founding principles.

As the July 4th holiday approaches, it is now clear that President Trump prefers to govern like the very king this country rebelled against in 1775, where every whim is acted upon as if it were the law of the land, while also demanding unquestioned loyalty. 1/

BREAKING - My statement on the reconciliation bill passing the Senate without two dangerous provisions: Since debate began in the House on the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act,’ my colleagues at Campaign Legal Center, and many others, have been working tirelessly... 1/

🧵As the U.S. Senate draws nearer to taking votes on massive tax and spending legislation (the “big, beautiful bill”), there’s an urgent need to preserve the courts’ ability to enforce their orders and to protect our elections from deceptive uses of AI. 1/

BREAKING: My statement on today's SCOTUS ruling limiting court restraints on unconstitutional presidential actions: The Supreme Court’s ruling means that the judiciary will now have fewer tools to protect the constitutional rights of Americans. 1/

NEW: The Senate's official "rules referee" said a provision that would strip courts' ability to halt illegal government actions cannot stay in the "big, beautiful bill." But a dangerous AI policy that threatens elections remains. The Senate must remove both.

Birthright citizenship is a cornerstone of our democracy, and it cannot be unilaterally undone by a president.

Many thanks to @represent.us for the opportunity to sit down with longtime FEC Commissioner @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social at the recent American Democracy Summit. Among the topics we covered were President Trump’s illegal voting and elections executive order, as seen in this clip:

Opinion: Campaign Legal Center's Adav Noti says structural changes that redefine how money is used in the US political system are necessary for preventing another Elon Musk in politics.

"The example of a reckless billionaire political donor running rampant through our government for nearly six months makes it painfully obvious that we must act now to end big money’s control over candidates and elections." Read more from CLC's @adavnoti.bsky.social.

"The Musk quote is just further proof that Trump and the late King Louis share a common view of the world: The state, it is me." – CLC President @thetrevorpotter.bsky.social

A hidden provision in the budget bill would ban the enforcement of all state and local laws regulating AI for 20 years — including laws aimed at preventing election misinformation. This would be dangerous for the future of truth and trust in our elections.

Happening today at 11am ET!

Protecting the freedom to vote in this country is a mission that must be pursued at all times, election year or not. Learn more about how @campaignlegal.org is acting now to address four looming threats that could make future elections less free and fair: www.linkedin.com/pulse/four-t...

Buried deep in the 1,000+ pages of President Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" are two provisions that would severely harm our democracy and threaten the rule of law. The Senate must remove these dangerous provisions or vote NO on the entire bill.

🧵By a very narrow margin, the House of Representatives has passed a tax and spending bill, parts of which have nothing to do with taxation or spending. Some of these add-ons pose serious risks for our democracy and the rule of law. They must be rejected by the Senate. 1/

🧵The House is trying to use budget reconciliation as a Trojan horse to enact President Trump’s agenda across our government while avoiding the Senate filibuster rules — in doing so, they are poised to severely undermine our democracy. 1/

🧵The Federal Election Commission’s enforcement powers should never be used as a weapon against political opponents, which is exactly why the FEC must defend its status as an independent agency from White House influence. 1/

NEW: @campaignlegal.org is going to court on behalf of Wisconsin voters seeking fair voting maps. We’re urging the WI Supreme Court to order a new congressional map because the current one divides Wisconsinites unevenly across districts. LEARN MORE: 1/ campaignlegal.org/update/campa...

Great news!

It was an honor to be at the McCain Institute's Sedona Forum over the weekend, where I was reminded of the enduring and timely importance of Senator McCain's last public statement. Worth reading if you have not previously done so: www.politico.com/story/2018/0...

I sat down with my @campaignlegal.org colleagues @adavnoti.bsky.social and Simone Leeper to discuss the first 100 days of Trump 2.0 and where we go from here. LISTEN now to a special bonus episode of CLC’s award-winning podcast, #DemocracyDecoded: campaignlegal.org/democracy-de...

The first 100 days of the Trump administration were dominated by efforts to rush through an agenda in ways that are contrary to law and violate core constitutional separation of powers principles. More in the latest edition of my newsletter: www.linkedin.com/pulse/100-da...
