Trump’s executive order against gender identity locked Census Bureau workers out of the system and froze access to data. Some data may have even been deleted in the scramble. We cannot stand for this data censorship, or Trump’s “alternative facts” will soon be all we have. bit.ly/4i75zrL

Project 2025’s road map to absolute power is eerily similar to what Trump has done in his first weeks in office. If he sticks with it, the worst is yet to come. Do not trust him when he says he won’t implement the authoritarian regime it lays out. nyti.ms/4gOc0iv

NEW: Research shows the GOP’s attempt to overturn Justice Riggs’ NC Supreme Court win disproportionately impacts voters. Young voters are 3.4x more likely than seniors to be challenged, and young Black voters are 5.28x more likely than white men 65+ among those with “incomplete registrations.”

In a policy move pulled straight from Project 2025, Trump is making drastic cuts to CISA—a crucial resource for election cybersecurity. Undermining cybersecurity puts every vote, and every voter, at risk. But it seems the GOP is not interested in keeping our elections safe. bit.ly/4aZW5w9

Last Friday, the Wake County Superior Court upheld the state Board of Elections' decision affirming the victory of Allison Riggs. This week, her opponent appealed the case to the state Court of Appeals. Enough is enough. It's time to respect the will of the voters and move forward. bit.ly/4b2epoI

The U.S. Constitution mandates a decennial census to count all residents, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. But President Trump seems intent on escalating his tactics to distort the census. Here’s how we got here and why the fight for a fair count matters. 🧵🗺️

Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, is peddling baseless voter fraud claims to prop up a far-right candidate for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court. Apparently, reshaping the federal government to fit his own agenda wasn’t enough—now he’s interfering in state elections too. bit.ly/4gCvfM2

The US Supreme Court, shaped by Trump with 3 handpicked justices, may now be the final arbiter of the most radical proposals of his agenda. This is the same court that has already enabled dangerous expansions of presidential power. We must stay committed in our fight to reform SCOTUS.

Both an AL district court and the Supreme Court agree: a proper enforcement of Section 2 of the VRA requires Alabama to include two Black opportunity districts. The current legal battle over the new map is a challenge to the principle of self-determination at the ballot box. bit.ly/41bz06s

This grows in absurdity minute by minute -- Judge Griffin must accept that he lost this race. The Wake County court acted as it should to protect voters' rights and put people over partisan interests -- more courts should follow this example.

BREAKING: The Wake County NC Court has shut down Judge Jefferson Griffin’s baseless efforts to throw out votes after his failed bid to unseat Justice Allison Riggs. Griffin needs to stop challenging the results of an election he clearly lost & wasting taxpayer resources—it's time for him to concede.

In his @nytopinion.nytimes.com essay, @ericholder.bsky.social highlights how the attempt by North Carolina Republicans to reverse Justice Riggs' victory is reflective of a party that thinks neither the rule of law nor the will of the people applies to them. Read more: nyti.ms/4guflDm

The Trump 2.0 era underscores the importance of the work we're doing right now. At a time when our democracy faces relentless attacks, there is no doubt that our fight for fairness is going to be hard. But like those who stood for justice before us, we have no choice but to take the fight head-on.

The GOP-sponsored SAVE Act isn’t about “saving” democracy. The legislation’s proof-of-citizenship requirements could disproportionately affect married women who change their names, young voters, and people of color. For them, it’s about disenfranchising millions of American voters. ampr.gs/3CEnmYk

Fair maps serve more than an electoral purpose — they shape the resources our communities receive. Anything short of a fair and accurate count can mean fewer resources for those who need them most, especially communities of color, rural areas, and low-income neighborhoods.

As I said in the @nationaljournal.com, when asked how we would measure success: “Giving all parties access and ability to compete on their ideas, as opposed to maps that draw one party into and/or out of power, is going to be the way that we try and measure success,” he said.
