The right to vote will need defending this November. A coalition of pro-democracy orgs, one nonpartisan sign-up for lawyers. Poll monitoring, hotline support, litigation, countering disinformation. Some need a bar license. Plenty doesn’t. 👉 bit.ly/Lawyers2026

Trump told an RNC crowd, “I don’t care if I’m registered or not,” then made them repeat a pledge to “cheat like hell.” When a president mocks the rules that make elections fair, every eligible voter needs to be registered and ready. #GetReadyToVote www.peoplefor.org/register-vote

Sen. Bill Cassidy announced he will provide the deciding vote to confirm Trump’s former criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche as attorney general, endorsing corruption and sacrificing accountability. Read our full statement: www.peoplefor.org/people-ameri...
Text reading: Senate Republicans had an opportunity to put country over party. Instead, they have failed once again to fulfill their constitutional duty to check a corrupt president. Rather than holding him accountable for his lawlessness, they are enabling and rewarding it.  

 

As acting attorney general, Todd Blanche has overseen the corruption of the Justice Department. He has betrayed the rule of law and the interests of the American people for Donald Trump’s personal and financial benefit. 

 

The confirmation of Todd Blanche as attorney general will also serve as confirmation of the utter corruption of the Republican Party by the Trump regime. It is clearer than ever that accountability must come from the American people. And that begins with the November midterms.
