Today, we sued to keep armed ICE officers out of polling places. We did this now to stop ICE’s voter suppression and intimidation tactics. We will ensure voters are not scared away in November. Outcomes are not inevitable.

Transparency is not accountability, and my @commoncause.org colleague Preston Mitchum draws the line between them better than anyone I have read this year. People are not cynical because misconduct is hidden. They are cynical because it is tolerated. open.substack.com/pub/ourcommo...

Senators who voted to confirm Blanche are responsible for his past and future abuses. Blanche should and will be held accountable, and so should the senators who confirmed him.

1/ We filed in the Supreme Court today. The government wants to screen every voter against federal databases it has already conceded are incomplete, 60 days before the election. We asked the Court not to let that start while the case is still being decided.

The president’s primetime address was a smoke screen to distract us from new foreign wars, unsafe food, and high prices squeezing everyday families.

“Nominating a staunch, sycophantic loyalist as attorney general right before the midterms isn’t a coincidence. It is a nefarious and calculated decision. It’s no secret that undermining the DOJ’s integrity is part of President Trump’s broader playbook to subvert the midterm elections.”

I keep seeing people frame litigation and organizing as competing strategies. I think Georgia just showed why that’s wrong. The map that wasn’t drawn may be the real story.

🚨 BREAKING: We’ve successfully blocked the President’s personal slush fund, for now. We will keep the pressure on until it's shut down for good. The Trump administration cannot be trusted with the public's money and today's ruling is a massive win to protect taxpayer dollars.

One lesson from this case: outcomes are not inevitable. After months of litigation, a federal court blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to move nearly $1.8 billion in taxpayer funds through its so-called anti-weaponization fund. That’s an important win, but we’re continuing the fight.

The strongest point in Preston Mitchum’s latest essay isn’t really about the SPLC. It’s about what happens when oversight shifts from fact-finding to narrative-building. Democracy requires institutions willing to follow facts where they lead. Not institutions looking for villains.

Quoted in The @us.theguardian.com today. California’s election isn’t the story. The story is that we’re watching a familiar pattern unfold again: claims of fraud without evidence, attacks on election administration, and efforts to undermine confidence in results before counting is complete.

President Trump has officially nominated Todd Blanche to be Attorney General. The Attorney General’s job is to serve the public interest, not the President’s personal interests. That’s why Common Cause developed a public interest test for Attorney General nominees. Todd Blanche failed that test.

The Senate’s advice-and-consent role only works if the public has the facts. We’re making sure those facts are impossible to ignore. That’s what accountability looks like.

Filed late Friday night. @commoncause.org appealed Florida’s new congressional map because Florida voters already banned partisan gerrymandering in their state constitution. Politicians are not supposed to rig voting maps to keep themselves in power.

An uplifting day with my former boss, Assistant AG for Civil Rights Kristen Clarke, and 200+ alumni of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division taking stock of what’s happened to this once “crown jewel” of the Justice Dept and imagining what civil rights enforcement must become next.

Rep. Ilhan Omar is a fighter and survivor. But no one should face violence or hate like this. Words matter. The President has directed bigotry at her for years. It fuels moments like this. Her constituents showed what America should look like: standing up for each other ♥️

Lying. Gaslighting. Zero accountability. Kristi Noem needs to go.

Spoke with @jenrubin.bsky.social from @contrariannews.org about the work we’re doing at @commoncause.org related to the Minnesota tragedies, DHS/ICE and DOJ lawlessness, and the need for accountability—from individual agents to cabinet secretaries.

What’s happening in Minnesota follows a familiar authoritarian playbook we’re fighting at @commoncause.org: escalate federal force, create fear, then use that pressure to extract political concessions from a state government. This isn’t normal. And it shouldn’t be accepted as such. 🧵⬇️

Omar Noureldin @omarcommoncause.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

This is a line we can’t let be crossed. Trump used U.S. military and law enforcement forces in Venezuela without Congress’s approval. That’s unconstitutional. 🧵⬇️

Quick gut check: Why should voting come with a privacy tradeoff? This summer, the DOJ asked Massachusetts for its non-public voter file. Full names. Home addresses. Dates of birth. Driver’s license numbers. Partial Social Security numbers. That’s not routine. That’s sensitive.

Last night we celebrated a true giant of the democracy movement. After 25 years as @commoncause.org North Carolina State Director, Bob Phillips is retiring. What he built over those years is nothing short of extraordinary.

This morning, I joined @wtopnews.bsky.social to talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: how broken our federal ethics and accountability systems have become. When government officials use taxpayer resources for partisan messaging, it’s not just unethical—it’s dangerous.

SCOTUS is hearing a case that could blow open the floodgates for big money in politics. We filed an amicus brief with @commoncause.org, @campaignlegal.org & LWV to say: coordinated spending limits matter. Without them, elections risk becoming auctions.
