The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

The US Supreme Court today granted Texas’ request for a stay of the three-judge panel’s ruling blocking the 2025 congressional map as an illegal racial gerrymander, which means it will be in place for the 2026 congressional election. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Fourteen states have now been sued by DOJ demanding access to sensitive voter information. No case has yet succeeded. The League of women voters strongly opposes these DOJ actions & will always work to protect voters’ privacy so Americans can cast votes free from intimidation. @lwvus.bsky.social

Many people still face disproportionate challenges to participate in elections due to factors including health, age, race, and gender. Our democracy is strongest when every voice is heard. We strongly advocate measures to make voting more accessible—not less. www.lwv.org/voting-right...

In 2013, the US Supreme Court removed key protections of the Voting Rights Act in the decision of Shelby v. Holder. Since then, a surge of anti-voter bills have swept across our nation– with many being legalized. The League will not stand for this. We fight suppression. www.lwv.org/voting-right...

We went to court in April. On the last day of October, a federal court issued a decisive ruling in our favor. The President lacks authority to unilaterally alter election procedures—powers that rest with Congress and the states. When we fight, we win. Follow us. Join us. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Sen. Mark Kelly to Stephen Miller: “I got shot at serving our country in combat, and I was there when your boss sent a violent mob to attack the Capitol. I know the difference between defending our Constitution and an insurrection, even if you don’t.”

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.

Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.

The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.
