The threats to our elections are real and they’re increasing. But democracy isn't losing without a fight.

* Thousands marched on Selma and Montgomery to push back on the Supreme Court gutting voting rights protections — proof that attacks on our elections don't go unanswered. 

* In South Carolina, Senate Republicans rejected a district redraw that would've wiped out the state's only Black-majority district — gerrymandering isn't inevitable, lawmakers can still say no. 

* A court unsealed a Fulton County court case involving a DOJ subpoena for records on 2020 election workers, so the public can actually watch what happens next. 

* And the NAACP is back in court fighting to hold USPS to its promise to handle election mail fast and fairly.

None of this happens without people watching, showing up, and holding the line.

Trump’s trying to use the Postal Service to make it harder to vote by mail.

should WITHDRAW this rule and allow the Postal Service to continue operating as a neutral mail carrier during election season — not as the gatekeeper for votes that the Trump administration wants.

This is what authoritarianism looks like:

Using federal law enforcement to raid organizations that register voters (especially voters of color and young voters) and calling it a “voter fraud investigation” despite no evidence of fraud. It’s intimidation dressed up as law enforcement.

Today, the House passed a War Powers Resolution to end the unconstitutional war in Iran.

GOOD.

But let’s be clear: This illegal war started 95 days ago. Our elected officials had 8 other chances to pass this bill.  To stop this latest example of executive overreach. Each time, they didn’t.

Meanwhile, polls show the American people don’t want and can’t afford this war. Not to mention, 13 service members paid the greatest price of all, and came home in flag-draped coffins. Hundreds more were wounded.

So, we’re glad they got there. But the American people deserve better this. The Constitution isn’t optional.

We’ll be watching to make sure everyone in Congress follows through—because now the Senate has to act.
