Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

On behalf of the DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries, this afternoon we filed a new amended lawsuit and motion to block Trump's anti-voting executive order and the USPS rule implementing it. We will not stop fighting to protect voting rights and when we fight we win.

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year. Renewables? Barely a fraction. We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience. Share if you’ve had enough. 🌍✊
