Trump won't say if he'll send armed agents to the polls. So Dems are suing to find out “Trump wants to bully and cheat his way through a midterm election that he knows Republicans will lose, but we won’t let him,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

One of the most important things I have written in a while. I hope you read, learn and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

Totally normal that the #2 person at the DOJ civil rights division is asking me about a trial court denying our motion to intervene in a case DOJ is going to lose on the merits.

He clearly does not want you to stay informed by subscribing to Democracy Docket. Here is the link: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Threats to democracy top issue for voters, new poll shows The finding comes as Trump says he wants to “take over” voting ahead of this fall’s contests.

A new national poll from NBC News finds that threats to democracy have surged to the top of voters’ priorities — matching inflation as the country’s most important issue ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Utah GOP passes 11th hour law to protect its pro-gerrymander ballot measure The Utah GOP has been hellbent on repealing the state’s current ban on partisan gerrymandering ever since courts struck down its previous congressional map for violating the law.

In an eleventh-hour maneuver, Utah Republicans closed out the state legislative session by passing a measure aimed at making it more difficult for voters to remove their signatures from a petition supporting a ballot initiative to legalize partisan gerrymanders.

Me a year ago: "Musk may be a happy hatchet man thinking he is reshaping the government. But for Trump he is a useful tool to help allow Trump to restaff it."

WaPo today: "A year after Elon Musk and his DOGE allies purged 100k's of federal employees, the Trump administration is ramping up hiring."

Trump ‘will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress — pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

For nearly two decades, Trump has been lying about elections and threatening the democratic process. A small group of us has been sounding this alarm, but far too few people in positions of power have been willing to act. The result is that things have only gotten worse.

Everyone knows Donald Trump has been an election denier since 2020. Some know that about 2016. But few know that it started in 2012.

After Obama won, Trump posted: “Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice!”

Read and share.

Six years in, the future of democracy is still on the docket None of these attacks on our elections were getting the attention they deserved. In October 2019, I decided to do something about it.

As large as Democracy Docket has grown, it still needs to scale larger and faster. The decline of legacy media and the rise of right-wing media have made our mission more critical than ever. In this arena, size and influence matter enormously. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/six-...

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.
