Watch closely. Every action—seizing ballots, demanding voter rolls, threatening ICE at the polls & now floating unilateral power over elections—is a desperate attempt to silence voters. Public and legal pushback are our best defenses against Trump's authoritarian, anti-American agenda.

Today, our executive chair Amb. Norm Eisen (ret.) is taking the fight to Capitol Hill — testifying before the Senate Rules Committee on Trump's assault on free and fair elections. Watch live: www.facebook.com/share/v/18NM...

Trump "joked" that he couldn't give the Congressional Medal of Honor to himself... he's more concerned with monuments to self than addressing the needs of ordinary people.

If the president is serious about restoring trust in our government, my discharge petition would bring a real stock trading ban to the House Floor.

Did Trump just call on Congress to “reject political violence”? Run it back 👇

State of the Union speeches aren’t about policy – they’re about setting the narrative. If you hear about the 2020 election tonight, it’s not about the past. It’s about creating doubt that could be used to challenge the 2026 election. 🧵⬇️

Reality: American families are being crushed by rent, medical bills, utilities, and the cost of groceries. Corporate profits continue to rise while wages struggle to keep pace.

Trump bragged about his tax cuts in the SOTU. They were skewed to the rich and paid for by cutting health care and food assistance. Meanwhile, Trump's tariffs were a tax increase. The American people bore 90% of the tax cuts, according to economists.

This admin is testing our democracy, pushing the guardrails to see how far they can bend before they break Habba, Bondi & Noem are hand-picked loyalists, appointed to silence dissent & weaponize gov't 📺 State of Our Democracy w/ @replamonica.bsky.social @democracydefendersaction.org -TN

'This moment demands we address what has happened, where we are headed, and what must change to preserve the country we all love.' Tonight, as Trump addresses Congress, @replamonica.bsky.social delivers the State of Our Democracy. It is time to decide: is democracy worth defending?

Last week, Trump posted a banner of himself on the facade of the DOJ, a message from him that it’s “his” DOJ and justice is what he says it is. Exhibit A:

"The threats facing our democracy have never been greater." As Congress prepares for the State of the Union, we are hosting a first-ever "State of Our Democracy" address—delivered by @replamonica.bsky.social and streaming live on @meidastouch.com tomorrow morning.

Last year DOJ and FBI claimed no evidence to investigate uncharged Epstein associates. Weeks later? FBI agents were still reviewing derogatory information on prominent individuals — including the president. Its time for real transparency. We deserve the full truth.

The Trump regime hung a banner of his face on the people’s DOJ. A visual declaration that justice is whatever he says it is—a weapon for allies, punishment for enemies. Democracies don’t collapse overnight. They die by 1,000 cuts. And we are fighting every day to make sure it doesn’t happen here.

On Survivor, immunity idols expire. Presidential pardons don’t. When clemency becomes political currency, equal treatment under the law breaks down. Proximity to power should not determine consequences. #DDAPartner youtube.com/shorts/5btWM...

Wall Street executives. Federal regulators. The Trump family’s crypto business. All convening at Mar-a-Lago? Our Senior Ethics Counsel Chris Swartz warns: “Any reasonable person would have serious questions about the propriety of this event.”

Every day we are witness to the unimaginable coming from the White House—from clear conflicts of interests to constitutional violations, brazen grift, and racist memes. It will take a critical mass of us to let elected officials know enough is enough. No one is above the law.

The Federal Reserve just confirmed what we already knew: Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American consumers and businesses. Imposing sweeping tariffs without congressional approval hurts our economy and tramples on the rule of law.

BREAKING: The House just passed the SAVE Act. AKA a solution in search of a problem and part of a coordinated attack on voting rights. The SAVE Act demands documents people don't have. Meanwhile, the WH calls for "nationalizing" our elections. Policy should expand ballot access, not restrict it.

AG Bondi has accused members of the House of theatrics as they question her about redacted Epstein files. No one but the survivors deserve grace.

A $1M “birthday” buy-in for access to the president? @democracydefendersfund.org examines how these vanity projects and donor favoritism reshape public institutions for personal gain:

Black History is a history of expanding democracy. This month, we celebrate the Black leaders, organizers, and communities who built the foundations of American democracy through strategic organizing and constitutional innovation. Democracy requires constant work—we all have a role in building it.

10 former GOP Members of Congress are calling on lawmakers to defend Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which has 50+ yrs of bipartisan support after helping to end Jim Crow-era discrimination. Any retreat now undermines voting rights & would be catastrophic for America.

If the Epstein files feel incomplete, it’s because they are. We still don’t have full transparency ... and absolutely no one deserves protection but the victims.

Prop 50 is a win in the counterattack against Trump and the GOP's electoral power grab to silence voters’ voices through rigged districts, voter suppression, and false election denial narratives.

BREAKING: VICTORY! The Supreme Court cleared the way for California’s voter-approved Prop 50 maps to take effect in 2026 elections. The Court left in place the ruling, rejecting claims of racial gerrymandering. Proud to stand with @lulacorg.bsky.social in this fight.

"Nationalize" elections in 15 places. Demand red states gerrymander more GOP seats. Seize state voter rolls. Re-litigate 2020. Another clear effort to undermine our faith in elections and rig the outcome.

@washingtonpost.com reports on @democracydefendersaction.org & WLG lawsuit repping @repbeatty.bsky.social to STOP the illegal renaming of the Kennedy Center Now Trump is shutting the place down—likely embarrassed by artist & audience flight We’re weighing ALL legal options to block this abuse 👇

Artists quit and audiences fled after Trump made the Kennedy Center another Trump-branded vanity project. Now he’s shutting it down for ‘renovations.’ Another shameful, self-serving act. Read Congresswoman Beatty's and co-counsel's statements here👇 www.democracydefendersaction.org/press-releas...

Trump heads the government agencies he is suing. OUR tax dollars fund those agencies. Working out legal “settlement with myself” means looting our tax dollars to line his pockets... never mind the ordinary folks who struggle to make ends meet.

This administration is criminalizing journalism to shield itself from oversight. Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.

Can’t believe we need to say this BUT a sitting president should not abuse his executive authority to settle personal scores and try to raid the U.S. Treasury (e.g. taxpayer dollars) for $10B+

BREAKING: Organizations Urge SCOTUS to Reject Prop 50 Challenge California GOP’s appeal is an attempt to mislabel voter-approved redistricting and exploit protections meant to prevent discrimination by race. Prop 50 is a clear partisan gerrymander. We're proud to stand with LULAC on this case.

This administration is attempting to recast dissent as “terrorism,” portraying community protection as a threat and targeting nonprofits that question authority. Peaceful protest is a constitutional right—not a crime. The Constitution DOES NOT permit political persecution.

Bondi to Minnesota: “Give us your voter rolls and we might ease up.” That’s coercion--not election integrity. It’s part of the Trump admin’s broader effort to intimidate voters, rig electoral maps, and pre-determine electoral outcomes.

Same.

Kristi Noem & Stephen Miller must resign. No resignation can bring back lives lost or undo damage caused due to their failures, but they must be held accountable. They are making a mockery of their offices & the Constitution they swore to uphold. www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/01.27.26...

Trump has floated using our cities as a “training ground for the military.” Masked federal agents are traumatizing communities, killing people, and turning neighborhoods into battlefields. Halting these injustices will require more leaders—Republicans and Democrats—to stand up and resist.

Videos captured the moments federal agents killed two people in Minneapolis this month. Both times, the administration has rushed to spin and recast the violence we are all witnessing with our own eyes. Our neighbors and our rights are being attacked. We cannot and must not look away.

"This nation cannot survive without a shared foundation for truth. While disagreement about the meaning of facts can be healthy, propping up these blatantly false narratives is malignant cancer." READ HERE:

…Remember the $400M “gift” from Qatar? Hard to keep up with one ethics scandal after another. While public attention has moved on, Virginia Canter w/ @democracydefendersfund.org gets it right. Taxpayers footing the bill to retrofit Trump’s jet is a staggering abuse of public trust.

House Oversight Democrats just released an analysis detailing Trump’s financial entanglements and corruption. 1/2 oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-r...

Latest news in DOJ weaponization: Prosecutors serve Grand Jury subpoenas to Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis’s mayor over speech and protests related to ICE enforcement ... even as the DOJ says it will not investigate the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good.

NEW: Hope without complacency. In the first year of Trump’s term, democracy was tested—and defended. @democracydefendersfund.org details how guardrails held, and why vigilance, courage, and action are still required. Read the report:

Dr. King believed democracy depends on equal access to the ballot. Black Americans' right to vote was central to his fight for freedom and equality. He helped secure the Voting Rights Act & confront systems designed to silence communities. Those protections were never meant to be temporary.

Every day, there’s another affront to our democracy. We will continue to resist authoritarianism and defend democracy at every turn.
