NEW: Access to voting systems poses serious election security risks. Now, Trump has installed an attorney linked to the largest known election security breach in U.S. history at the DOJ. The good news: there are still steps we can take to protect our democracy, Susan Greenhalgh writes.

NEW: Kurt Olsen is a threat to our democracy and, like Trump, must be removed from power. Our Senior Advisor on Election Security @susangreenhalgh.bsky.social makes this clear in this important new piece. @fsfp.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/a-to...

BREAKING: Senators who have called for election denier Kurt Olsen's removal from the White House must now investigate the election security threat he poses from within the Justice Department. Read our letter linked below. @fsfp.bsky.social @susangreenhalgh.bsky.social

We’ve sent a letter to 11 Senators demanding his immediate removal & a full investigation ⬇️ freespeechforpeople.org/free-speech-...

NEW: Trump’s election security czar encouraged voting systems breaches to try & overturn the 2020 election. Now he’s working on a “grand conspiracy” investigation targeting the President’s enemies at DOJ.

2020 election denier under scrutiny from fair elections advocates for new role at DOJ

Why is a Trump ally with access to unauthorized copies of election system software at the DOJ? www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

But it's not just this - the EAC was making moves last Sept to decertify voting equipment that ran end of life software-something the EAC had intentionally ignored for years, and explicitly told congress it could not do in 2019. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/is-a...

The Trump admin has been quietly working to disrupt election by using fed agencies to ban voting machines. See exclusive reporting from Reuters: #elections2026 www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

You may remember this great story my colleague Pascal wrote on Black voters in Fayette Co., their legal win, and how they're bracing for the VRA's impact. boltsmag.org/voting-right... The NYT 3 days ago: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u... Of course it makes sense to cover Fayette now! Just credit!

It's time to admit that insisting voting machines can't be compromised-just because Trump said they could-isn't working. And that's because there were dozens of credible studies documenting the security gaps before 2020. It's time to confront the facts. publichealthpolicyjournal.com/poll-70-conc...

Much appreciation to @democracydocket.com for covering these weedy but super important meetings for election administration. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/4-b...

Thank you, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: “There is no such thing as absolute immunity for federal agents in the state of Minnesota or any other state.” Absolutely right. @fsfp.bsky.social

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

There's something wrong when the idea of impeaching Trump gets cheers at CPAC but leaders in the House still can't even countenance the idea. Where are their spines? Congress is supposed to serve as an equal branch of government.

Where are the members of the US House saying they will force daily floor votes on new articles of impeachment against this lawless president? Where are the members of the Senate saying they are ready to vote to convict and remove him? Stop the gaslighting with the 25th Amendment. Use your power…1/

BREAKING: We just released the results of this nationwide poll we commissioned. A majority of people across the country support the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump. They know that Trump has committed multiple abuses of power + poses a direct threat to our republic. @fsfp.bsky.social 1/

In Nov. the @nytimes.com published a front page story promoting Bradley Tusk's Mobile Voting Project, claiming that Anchorage would soon use MVP new tech. Turns out, not only was that a lie, the NYT won't correct the story. So the Anchorage clerk sent a cease & desist. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

“Anchorage election officials push back on ‘misleading’ claims about its mobile voting system” electionlawblog.org?p=155287

In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

Honored to have made it into Anna’s portrait of the Fulton County hearing! #elections

Anna’s stick figures are Pulitzer-worthy and I will perish on this hill bonus! I spy 👀 @marilynrmarks.bsky.social and @susangreenhalgh.bsky.social too

For all of those in Congress who claim that the public does not want hear about impeachment, think again. What is missing with far too many members of Congress is the courage to abide by their duty and advance for floor votes impeachment articles against this lawless president. @fsfp.bsky.social

Thank you @aoc.bsky.social. Yes, Trump has committed multiple high crimes and must be impeached and removed. We have documented these grounds for impeachment at www.impeachtrumpagain.org. We urge the Congresswoman to introduce new impeachment articles and force a new floor vote. @fsfp.bsky.social

ODNI Gabbard seized voting machines in Puerto Rico. Reporting suggests that this was done to find fraud in the 2020 presidential election, but there's a major flaw in that pretense - PR has no electoral votes & can't impact presidential election results. #2026elections www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The White House's trade policy has "opened the door to corruption," according to a letter from Ron Wyden and Chris Van Hollen. n.pr/4qgSrEo

For those keeping score at home:

Trump says regarding his lawsuits vs the US: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to... charities." Well we @democracydefendersfund.org care. It's illegal! We already filed 1 complaint & will do more

Election Assistance Commission leaders are now briefing secretaries. Chair Don Palmer notes that the FY26 NDAA requires the EAC to do penetration tests of voting systems. The EAC is working with MITRE on a pentesting exercise for election-night reporting systems.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Up next: U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chairman Don Palmer. The EAC, a nonpartisan org, was in hot water late last year after comments from a GOP member of the commission leaked. Christy McCormick said Dems "need the votes" of "illegal citizens" to win www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm at the annual conference for the National Association of Secretaries of State today. This morning's presenters include: Sen. Alex Padilla, DHS Election Integrity Dept. Secretary Heather Honey, and U.S. Election Assistance Commission Chairman Don Palmer... stay tuned for updates.

I'm at the National Association of Secretaries of State's winter meeting, where the Elections Committee mtg is starting. DHS election integrity official Heather Honey was supposed to attend but canceled this AM. DOJ's Harmeet Dhillon also canceled. We'll see if two listed WH officials show up.

People who engage in murder or conspire to commit murder, regardless of whether they are federal agents or private indiv., need to be arrested + prosecuted. Same goes for people who commit other state crimes. This needs to be happening across the country. whyy.org/articles/phi... @fsfp.bsky.social

Dana Bash grills Bovino to provide any evidence that Alex Pretti "assaulted law enforcement" and Bovino has absolutely nothing

NEW REPORT! Trump’s Crypto Connections: a sitting president w/a direct financial stake in a Treasury-backed stablecoin. Our new report warns how Trump’s crypto ventures pose a systemic risk to the U.S. economy & why Congress should act before taxpayers + our financial system pay the price. 👇

BREAKING: We’ve issued a letter calling on California prosecutors to open CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS into the unlawful assaults, detentions, and political retaliation by ICE agents against CA residents.

This cites the 2013 CBP report which found CBP agents have a history of stepping in front of vehicles to justify the use of deadly force and provides that agents shouldn't use deadly force to stop a vehicle. #ReneeGood #ICEout www.justsecurity.org/128498/dhs-d...

On #Jan6th, 2021, Trump was the Instigator-In-Chief. Now, five years later, he’s exploited the pardon power to seal off all channels of accountability for his role in the violent assault on our Capitol. But there remains one channel he can’t touch: Article II, Section 4, the Impeachment Clause.

Last week: In response to WaPo’s story on the Sept. 2 boat strikes, the Pentagon says “This entire narrative is completely false.” Today: The White House confirms that a 2nd strike happened and that “Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes”

But he got people off Epstein…

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us
