Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear: 1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close. 2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

In April 2024, the SAVE Act was born as a political stunt to keep Mike Johnson from being booted as House speaker. Today, the legislation has become a very real threat, and it's critical for Americans to know what’s at stake, Marc Elias writes.

The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.
As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.

I had trouble with that book. I am not walking in her shoes so I can’t really say whether she’s glossing over her day to day interactions. I live in a self-acknowledged bubble, so I don’t have the experience to judge.

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
The Constitution of the Roberts Court is not color-blind. It is a Constitution that permits discrimination on the basis of race, but forbids alleviating discrimination on the basis of race. And over the next year, the Court will face more cases that could further erode both the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, pushing America back toward what some on the right believe is the true, Antebellum Constitution.

Republicans’ voter suppression tactics rarely make headlines, but it remains the greatest threat to democracy. This year, we’ve seen one of these tactics on full display through map-rigging efforts. But @marcelias.bsky.social warns this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Governor Hochul just signed S1804/A128A into law, making #NY the first state in the nation to eliminate cost-sharing for inhalers. We want to thank the Governor and the bill sponsors, Senator Rivera and Assemblymember González-Rojas, for their tremendous work in passing this bill.
