In 2025, Donald Trump tried to take over voting via Executive Order. We sued and won. Then his DOJ sued 30 states to get their full voter files. We intervened and won. DOJ is 0-21. Now, DOJ is asking the SCOTUS to permit Trump to leverage the US Postal Service to attack voting.

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. But it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will. Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and act.

It's an all hands on deck moment. Lawyers need to do their job to protect elections. Courts must do their job to ensure the law is followed. And, voters must make sure they have a plan to vote and turn out.

Donald Trump lied when he said there are 280,000 noncitizens registered to vote in 4 states. He is saying this to threaten states to turn over their voter rolls to the administration and agree to remove the names of people Trump doesn't want to be able to vote.

I fought Rudy Giuliani and Trump in 202 and learned an important lesson: They would lie in the parking lot but have to be more careful in court. Jeanine Pirro's dismissal of the bogus case against David Hearn is just the latest example of this.

Donald Trump cannot cancel elections but he can try to make it harder for people to vote and easier for the GOP to cheat. That includes misuse of the federal government and inciting his MAGA mob of election vigilantes. We need to be ready to send up and protect elections.

We are suing to prevent Donald Trump from controlling mail-in voting by dictating to the Postal Service of whose ballot they will and won't deliver. All of this is laddering up to Trump trying to dictate who gets to vote and who doesn't.

Days after the WHCA dinner and legacy media still doesn't get it. Donald Trump is putting on a hat saying he's running in 2028, and they are sitting there eating a dinner. This is why independent media like Democracy Docket is growing. Support its work.

There is a desire to think poll workers are the solution to Trump's attacks on elections. There are two problems. First, it's a lot of pressure to put on those local workers. Second, some of those election officials are GOP election deniers. It's up to all of us to do our part.

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol. Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

The 2020 election was not rigged and no votes were changes. Donald Trump's reaction was to sue and incite a violent insurrection in the Capitol. Trump is once again laying the groundwork to try to overturn elections he is about to lose. We need to be prepared to fight back.

Trump's attacks in the 2020 election was mostly about mail-in voting. The GOP's attacks in 2022 were via massive state voter suppression laws. Their attacks in 2024 were to prevent certification of Biden/Harris. In 2026, they are trying to obtain/weaponize state voter data.

What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

Donald Trump has been telling us that if he doesn't like the outcome of the elections he will seize ballots. He wants Republicans to take control of voting. He wants to take over elections in Democratic states. People should be concerned and we all need to be ready.

Corporate America has turned its back on democracy and bowed down to Trump. When, in the future, it once agains becomes convenient for them to say they celebrate democracy we should not believe them. In the meantime, we are on our own.

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won. Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to future generations why, when democracy was at stake, they were such cowards.

Not only was the Supreme Court's VRA decision cynical and wrong, it has now resulted in the governor of Louisiana declaring state of emergency to suspend the ongoing congressional election. If you think this ends in Louisiana or with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Donald Trump and DOJ have had a rough few days -- losing big cases in his effort to rig the 2026 election. My team is preventing him from gaining access to sensitive state voter dats while Democracy Forward is blocking his misuse of federal databases. When we fight we win!

Here is the good news: DOJ is now 0-20 in lawsuits to gain access to voter files and tomorrow is the 90th day before the election which means states can't purge voters -- even if DOJ wants them to. The bad news: Trump won't give up trying to use DOJ to undermine the elections.
