AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

From one historically corrupt entity to another

President Donald Trump has made it clear that favorable treatment from his administration is readily available — for a price. We have compiled over three dozen of the most egregious examples of the Trump administration's corrupt transactions in our new tracker.

Make it make sense

Since his return to power, President Trump has repeatedly made clear that specific benefits and favorable government treatment are available to those who pay up. Read more from CLC president @thetrevorpotter.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Rather than wait for another wave of questionable trading during the next economic crisis to further deteriorate public trust in our institutions, we're calling on Congress to pass the Restore Trust in Congress Act to fully ban stock trading by lawmakers and their families.

The League of Women Voters registered tens of thousands of new Americans at naturalization ceremonies every year -- until a new USCIS rule told them they couldn't do that anymore. The First Amendment protects the League's right to conduct this essential civic engagement activity. So we're suing.

The Trump administration is taking a sledgehammer to the rule of law, one day at a time. Grateful to these attorneys for speaking out against the vindictive mob takeover of our Department of Justice. It's going to take a long time to repair this damage. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It takes time for election workers to properly count ballots — and that’s a sign of accuracy, not a conspiracy. Tammy Patrick of the Election Center reminds voters today that election officials are bound by the law to ensure results are verified, auditable, and correct.

NJ voters: your election officials, law enforcement, and community members are working hard to ensure your elections are free, fair, safe and secure. You can vote with confidence!!

Happy Election Day!

Not all heroes wear capes – some safeguard our democracy. Today, we’re proud to celebrate our state and local election officials, their staff, and the poll workers who make free, fair, and secure elections possible. #ThankYouElectionHeroes www.electionheroday.org

Why does this Miami Hurricanes team insist on trying to kill me

VICTORY: The Trump administration’s attempt to require the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to include burdensome documentary proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration form is PERMANENTLY blocked following a ruling in favor of our clients. 1/

NEW: Today, a federal court in DC permanently enjoined part of Trump's Executive Order on Voting, preventing the admin from requiring burdensome documentary proof of citizenship (like a passport or birth certificate) on the National Mail Voter Registration Form campaignlegal.org/press-releas...

NEW: Federal agencies are collecting and sharing highly sensitive personal information on millions of Americans with no oversight. They plan to weaponize this data to purge voter rolls as part of the Trump admin's attempt to take over election administration processes entrusted to the states.

Well well well, look who finally showed up www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

There is simply no legal authority—emergency or otherwise—that would allow the president or any member of the executive branch to seize control of or interfere with election administration. If they do this, it will be wholly outside the bounds of the constitution and federal law.

we have a way for guys like this to fund the military it’s called “taxes” and clearly they should go up

Subtlety is dead!

We are working every day to preserve the checks and balances that prevent any one branch of government — or any one individual — from becoming too powerful.

The core issue at the root of Louisiana v. Callais is the continued use of the map drawing process to racially discriminate against particular groups of voters, and the need for legal pathways to challenge and stop these efforts.

TODAY: The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case that has the potential to further erode the Voting Rights Act and harm voters across the country, especially voters of color. Here's how we got here and what's at stake in Louisiana v. Callais.

On behalf of Missouri voters, Campaign Legal Center and our partners at @aclu.org Voting Rights Project and @aclumo.bsky.social are stepping in to protect voters’ right to fair districts and a meaningful say on which elected officials represent them and the issues that matter to their community. 2/

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/

Policy choices lead to real world outcomes. We don’t have to live like this.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

It is incredibly simple to acknowledge that violence in any form is awful and erodes society.

Beyond the sheer bad legal reading of all of this, the use of "speaks Spanish" in Los Angeles to demand papers is insane. Los Angeles County is more than 40% Latino.

I can't let this go by without pointing out that immigration officers have actually arrested and deported US citizens, even where they have shown ID

Considering race as one of several factors when remedying historical discrimination in voting, education, and hiring = unconstitutional, un-American, unacceptable But using race as the sole factor to profile, detain, and deport someone = totally fine and cool, actually

Plain and simple.

1-0

State and local election administration may be the last line of defense against full on authoritarianism. Our team at @campaignlegal.org will continue to fight for free and fair elections and a transparent, inclusive, and representative government.

Reading an article titled "Why didn't Brazilian democracy die?" and a key part of the story is a Supreme Court that actually did its job

Listen to @markgaber.bsky.social!

Just in case you hear otherwise, here's a reminder that vote-by-mail is a safe, secure and accessible way that millions of Americans participate in our democracy. Any efforts to eliminate this voting method would silence Americans by restricting access to the ballot.

BREAKING: We're calling on Congress to end President Trump’s troubling abuse of executive power in D.C. These actions are only possible because of the disenfranchisement of the 700k+ residents who lack control over their governance. Congress must act now.

Executive orders are not laws. The president has no legal authority to regulate elections. Everything in this unhinged rant is a lie.

Minority Report (Steven Spielberg, 2002)

If there was any doubt, here we have confirmation that the lies about the 2020 election are being spread as part of a Russian operation, directly by the Russian President. And it’s sadly a successful op, despite ZERO evidence of election fraud presented to any court in any case in nearly 5 years.

So much in the world is bad, but that Miami bomber jacket is so good

New from @campaignlegal.org: we are calling on Congress to end President Trump's unprecedented military takeover of DC and finally grant the District's 700,000 residents the sovereignty and representation we deserve. campaignlegal.org/sites/defaul...

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover

Voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around. Thank you @hankgreen.bsky.social for highlighting Campaign Legal Center as one of the groups fighting in courts against gerrymandered maps and advocating for long-term solutions to end the practice! youtu.be/YVdQjqUXuDc?...
