Fulton County officials are working to block a federal subpoena seeking the personal information of thousands of election workers who helped run the 2020 election—calling it an unprecedented, politically motivated move tied to already-debunked claims. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

NEW >> The Illinois Accountability Commission, established by @govpritzker.illinois.gov last October, released its final report on the impact of federal immigration enforcement operations throughout Chicago. news.wttw.com/2026/04/30/i...

RED FLAG: The Trump Justice Department has demanded the identities of every worker who staffed the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia, according to court records. The demand targets employees of Fulton County elections as well as volunteer poll workers, who likely numbered in the thousands.

It's been almost 8 months since President Trump launched Operation Midway Blitz — a military-style assault on Illinois. We can't let Americans forget the offenses that happened in our cities. And here in our state, we will not be quiet until there is accountability and justice.

The Illinois Accountability Commission is our answer to injustice. There will come a day when we look back on this moment and know that by putting all of this on the record, we laid the groundwork for justice.

National Law Day is a reminder that the rule of law is the foundation of our democracy and a cornerstone of American life. No one is above the law, and everyone is accountable to it. 🎥 Hear from @americanbar.org President Michelle Behnke: www.lawday.org

Justice Kagan: "I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.'

Just 2.5 days of early voting, but already 100K+ have voted in Georgia, which is electing two supreme court justices mid-May. (More on this soon, but some context for now: boltsmag.org/your-state-b...)

On Tuesday, the U.S. Justice Department reindicted former FBI Director James Comey after a judge dismissed an earlier indictment last November — marking the latest attempt in the DOJ's ongoing effort to go after President Trump's perceived enemies. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The Supreme Court's decision to restrict the Voting Rights Act weakens one of our most powerful civil rights laws.   The Voting Rights Act was born on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. This decision dishonors that legacy.   I'll keep fighting to protect voting rights and our democracy.

Today, the Supreme Court further gutted a major protection against racially discriminatory election practices, making it harder to challenge unfair redistricting under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.🧵 Read our statement regarding the ruling: statesunited.org/press-releas...

NEW >> A lawsuit brought against Arizona officials by the U.S. Department of Justice over the state's refusal to turn over its voter roll has been dismissed by a federal judge. www.votebeat.org/arizona/2026...

This morning Attorney General Dana Nessel met with municipal leaders from around Muskegon County to touch base on various topics, including elections, utility rates, and public safety.

SAVE THE DATE 🗓️ National Law Day is May 1. It's a reminder that the rule of law connects all of us. And together, it is ours to protect and advance. Check out the @americanbar.org events happening this week: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

The Constitution gives states—not the federal government—the power to run elections. That safeguard is by design. It means no one person can control the system. As @joannalydgate.bsky.social put it, "Trump can’t do everything, everywhere, all at once.” www.wbur.org/news/2026/04...

ICYMI >> State officials are asking a federal court to permanently block President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in voting. Our elections are free, fair, safe, and secure – and “we will not allow federal overreach to undermine that,” said @nevadaag.bsky.social.

NEW >> A multistate coalition of 23 state AGs and @governor.pa.gov have asked a federal court to permanently block President Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in voting. The Constitution gives states the power to run elections, not the federal government. www.doj.state.or.us/media-home/n...

BREAKING: Trump DOJ drops criminal probe into Fed chair Jerome Powell

The president does not have constitutional authority to make or change laws about how elections are run. That’s why we have asked a court to permanently block his executive order restricting vote-by-mail. #orpol

The U.S. Justice Department has now withdrawn subpoenas related to the investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan. When probes are driven by political retaliation rather than the rule of law, they undermine public trust and create confusion. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

NEW POLLING >> Most Americans disapprove of federal agents’ enforcement tactics, pointing to concerns about unnecessary force, how arrests are conducted, and whether these actions are making the country safer. Read our findings: statesunited.org/resources/ic...

Withholding federal disaster aid based on whether a state is “red” or “blue” is wrong. Wisconsinites were already denied critical disaster relief. It’s why I’m imploring our federal partners to urge President Trump to approve our current and future aid requests. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This shoddy indictment seeks to silence those who would hold the Trump Admin accountable. The FBI regularly uses these same tactics in their own work. This is a clear abuse of power that puts our democracy at risk. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Today’s order concluding Illinois v. Trump confirms what's been clear to the people of our state from the beginning: Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to occupy our streets was a reckless and illegal abuse of power.

ICYMI >> FBI Director Kash Patel said arrests are imminent in the supposed “conspiracy" to rig the 2020 election against Trump. Various courts, election officials, and past DOJ reviews have rejected claims of widespread fraud in 2020. It's time to move on. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...
