With Republicans active in 59 separate voting cases and the DOJ litigating another 30, the picture becomes clear: voter suppression is now a defining feature of the MAGA takeover. It will be the leading GOP strategy in 2026, and it’s our job to prevent it, Marc Elias writes. bit.ly/3KCHVZj

Proud of everyone who stood for Harjit Kaur—a 73-year-old grandmother to her family & community. Trump promised to go after the “worst of the worst.” Instead, ICE detained a 73-year-old woman who’s checked in every 6 months for 13 years. We’ll keep fighting for her.

It’s unacceptable that ICE forcibly took Harjit Kaur, a 73-year-old grandmother with no record, from her community.  She does not deserve detention and should be allowed to return to her family. I’ll keep doing everything I can to support Ms. Kaur and her family.
