🚨🚨🚨 In another attempt to undermine the will of voters, the RNC just sent out a deceptive text urging Missourians to “withdraw” their signatures from an anti-gerrymandering petition “before it’s too late.”

Missourians have spoken. No more deceit.

🚨 Trump’s admin is stacked with election deniers. From DOJ to DHS, former aides and conspiracy peddlers are undermining voting rights and reviving 2020 fraud claims - putting future elections at risk.

That’s why Dems of State are on the frontlines fighting for our democracy.

The 1,500+ violent Jan. 6 insurrectionists Trump pardoned went on to commit even more crimes - including deadly drunk driving, threats and plots to kill public officials, and multiple child sex offenses.

Trump knowingly unleashed these dangerous people back into our communities.
November 17, 2025 at 6:01 PM
🚨 Trump just issued ANOTHER pardon to a violent Jan. 6 insurrectionist who was supposed to remain in prison until 2028 - this time for unrelated gun crimes.

Jan. 6 attackers are walking free, emboldened, and as dangerous as ever - all thanks to Trump.

Trump is exploiting his pardon power to grant clemency to political allies, big money donors, and dangerous Jan. 6 insurrectionists - while veterans, small-business owners, and law-abiding citizens are left waiting.

How Trump Has Exploited Pardons and Clemency to Reward Allies and Supporters
The president’s second term has brought a flood of clemency for allies and donors — as well as felons, like him, who were convicted of financial wrongdoing.

SCOTUS could force states to throw out thousands of on-time ballots in future elections - primarily from military and overseas voters - just because of mail delays.

No eligible voter should lose their voice because the mail was slow.

"I encourage everyone to get involved, stay involved, understand how elections work in your town, in your state, and in this country so that we can protect the rights that we've grown used to as American citizens." - Sec. Thomas, DASS Vice Chair

🚨🗳️ Trump's DOJ is wasting time and taxpayer money “investigating” an election from five years ago that was repeatedly proven fair, free, safe, and secure - instead of doing its job and protecting Americans’ voting rights.

Trump’s disapproval rating just hit 58%, the highest of his presidency - while Democratic enthusiasm for 2026 is surging.

Americans are tired of the corruption, chaos, and cruelty.
November 13, 2025 at 11:00 PM
The 2026 elections will be a true test of our democracy. Get out, vote, and support candidates who believe in protecting every citizen’s voice - not undermining it.
One Year to Defend Elections
Trump’s pardons of Rudy Giuliani and other election deniers are a reminder that the 2026 midterms will face an extraordinary new source of pressure: the federal government itself.

🚨 Elon Musk’s AI chatbot - the same one that once called itself “MechaHitler” - just falsely claimed Trump won the 2020 election.

Remember: Always rely on trusted sources, like your state’s Secretary of State website, for accurate election information.

No more lies. No more cover-ups. Release the Epstein files.
November 13, 2025 at 2:42 PM
Trump lied to the American people when he denied knowing about Epstein’s heinous crimes.

🚨 SCOTUS agreed to hear a case that could stop states from counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day - even if they’re postmarked on time.

Military, rural, senior, and disabled voters could lose their voice simply because of mail delays.

About 30 states authorize counting mail-in ballots after Election Day.

Today, seven weeks after her election, Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in.

Speaker Johnson dragged his feet for 50 days to try and prevent a vote on the Epstein files - but soon, America will finally know the full truth.
November 12, 2025 at 6:00 PM
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Newly released emails from the Epstein estate reveal Trump "knew about the girls" that Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell were abusing.

American deserves to know who their president is.
November 12, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Sec. @adrianfontes.bsky.social is right: Trump is wasting time and taxpayer money trying to relitigate an election that was proven - multiple times by multiple investigations - to be fair, free, safe, and secure.

Veterans Day is a solemn reminder that our freedoms are not free - they are safeguarded by those willing to put everything on the line for this nation.

Thank you to every veteran and their families for your service and strength.

Trump is trying to rewrite history - but we know the truth. January 6th was a violent insurrection against our nation’s Capitol that led to the deaths of five police officers.

Just days after asking SCOTUS to continue blocking food assistance for over 42 million working Americans, Trump threw another lavish party at Mar-a-Lago - with heaps of expensive food - while children and families went hungry.

Under Trump, Americans have endured the longest government shutdown in history, the first complete halt of SNAP benefits - ever - and the first time a president has intentionally put at least 42 million people at risk of hunger.

Trump has failed America.
