"We should be talking about the corruption and the need for political reform with more urgency and passion.” Ro Khanna is right. A system shaped by wealthy interests will never deliver for working people. It's time for REFORM.

We are a diverse coalition shining a spotlight on the ways this Supreme Court is impacting our families, our communities, our freedoms, and our democracy.
They can weaken the law. They can manipulate maps. They can make voting harder. But they cannot erase generations of people who fought, marched and sacrificed for the ballot. We must stand together and fight back.
The Postal Service delivers millions of ballots every election. Trump wants his friends on the board while SCOTUS considers giving him even more power to restrict mail voting. No president should control both the voting rules and the system that delivers the votes. That's a threat to democracy.
States are sounding the alarm on Trump's attack on elections. They want SCOTUS to keep the limits in place. Trump’s plan: ✅Force states to overhaul mail voting. ✅Make USPS verify voters through an untested system. ✅Create confusion. SCOTUS should not reward a manufactured crisis.
“Let the states decide” was the excuse for overturning abortion rights. But when states decide to pass gun-safety laws, the NRA’s Court says no. The hypocrisy is the point.
Trump is trying to control who receives a mail ballot. Republican politicians are drawing maps that dilute Black voting power. And the Roberts Court keeps clearing the path. Different cases. Same result: Voters lose more control over their government.
The Postal Service belongs to the public. Not Donald Trump. But he is trying to stack its board with corporate insiders who could: 🔴 Slow delivery 🔴 Raise prices 🔴 Undermine election mail 🔴 Push USPS toward privatization The Senate must reject Jeffrey Brodsky and William Gallo.
“It is not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.” That’s what Todd Blanche said. Now Senate Republicans might confirm him to lead the DOJ. Powerful men already have enough people explaining why they shouldn’t face consequences.
“To avoid the appearance of partiality,” SCOTUS could have followed its normal process. Instead, “the Court chooses the opposite.” —Justice Jackson If John Roberts doesn’t want to look political, he should stop bending the rules for Trump.
The Justice Department is not the President’s personal law firm. But putting Trump’s personal defense lawyer in charge sends exactly that message. It tells prosecutors, investigators, and the public that loyalty to one man matters more than equal justice. That is reckless.
Todd Blanche approved a $1.8 billion fund that would benefit Trump’s friends and J6ers. He defended it—until GOP senators threatened to block his nomination. Now he rescinded it. That doesn’t prove independence. It proves he’ll reverse course when his job is on the line.
The Supreme Court is not Trump’s law firm. It is not his revenge desk. It is not an escape hatch from every ruling he dislikes. The Roberts Court must stop letting him treat it like one.
The Supreme Court just dismantled voting rights. The people are marching. August 28. Washington, D.C. Defend the Vote.
“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low-wage job.” —Justice Sotomayor in response to the Roberts Court greenlighting racial profiling.
Watch Alito and Thomas. Republicans are foaming at the mouth for another SCOTUS vacancy to lock in a new lifetime appointment before voters can respond in November. We’ve seen this play before with Kavanaugh. No rushed confirmation. Let the people speak.
House Republicans just advanced the Title IX Clarification Act. The bill doesn’t stop at sports. It redefines “sex” for every school as only male or female — erasing LGBTQ+ students from protections. SCOTUS opened the door. Now they're trying to lock discrimination into law.
Brown skin. Speaking Spanish. Working at a car wash or Home Depot. The Supreme Court let ICE treat those facts like suspicion. They OK’ed racial profiling, and to no surprise, Latino arrests surged.
A judge said Trump’s Clinton lawsuit about the 2016 election should never have been filed. An appeals court agreed it was legally insufficient. Trump’s response? Ask his justices at the Supreme Court to revive it. He wants justice to mean never having to accept “no.”
The Seattle shooting shows what is at stake when guns flood public spaces. Yet Roberts & Co. keep greenlighting whatever the gun lobby wants—even overriding property owners and weakening commonsense safeguards. How many lives must be lost before SCOTUS stops making the crisis worse?
When Congress won’t give Trump the power he wants, he signs an executive order. When lower courts block him, he runs to SCOTUS. Now he’s trying that playbook on the election that could strip Republicans’ control of Congress.
Trump couldn’t get Congress to pass his mail-in ballot restrictions. So he tried to impose them by executive order. Lower courts blocked it. Now he’s asking his Supreme Court to deliver on what the democratic process denied him.
🚨🚨They are trying to erase LGBTQ+ students from civil rights protections. SCOTUS opened the door. House Republicans are pushing it wider. No student should lose protection from discrimination because extremists want schools to look away.
The Constitution gives states the authority over elections and Congress the power to set national rules. It does not give the president a blank check to rewrite voting laws by executive order. So Trump is asking his Supreme Court to create one.
ICE is reportedly preparing mass arrests for the 300,000+ TPS protected Haitians who had permission to live and work here legally. Trump ended that protection with his Supreme Court’s help. These are workers, parents, neighbors and community members.
Abortion bans? Leave it to the states. Assault-weapons bans? Overrule the states. The Roberts Court doesn’t respect local democracy. It only listens to the wishlist its right-wing backers paid for.
BREAKING: Trump is asking SCOTUS to let him decide who can vote by mail before the election that will decide control of Congress. Read that again. The president is trying to rewrite voting rules before voters can check his power.
Freedom is being able to go to school, worship, shop, work and gather without fearing a mass shooter. When SCOTUS strips states of the power to protect its people, they’re not defending liberty. They’re making all of us less free.
No one voted for the NRA. No one elected gun manufacturers or dark-money donors. Yet the captured Roberts Court keeps overriding states trying to prevent gun violence. Our government should protect its people. Not be delivering the gun lobby’s wish list.
Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh in July 2018. Republicans confirmed him on October 6. Just one month before voters delivered a blue wave. They didn’t let the people speak then. They've set the stage for Alito's retirement. We can't let them rush through another Trump justice.
A 2-year-old was among those wounded at a crowded Seattle festival. Days earlier, the Roberts Court struck down Hawaii’s commonsense gun safeguard. Again and again, SCOTUS chooses the gun lobby’s agenda over the safety of everyone else.
