Trump wants the SAVE Act passed before the midterms. Critics say it could disenfranchise millions, including women who've changed their name. Rep. Susie Lee says the Act's in-person registration rule would force some Nevadans to travel up to 2 hours each way just to register. @wedefendthevote.org

Republicans are taking a fake stock trading ban and using it to sneak through the worst parts of the unpopular SAVE Act that attacks the freedom to vote. It’s political theater, and should not be taken seriously. Don’t fall for it.

Earlier this cycle, we started making the case that corruption isn’t an abstract issue—it’s why families pay more for healthcare, housing, and everyday necessities. We are excited to see Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats carry it forward.

Leader Schumer Launches Senate Democrats’ New Anti-Corruption Initiative To Expose Trump’s Self-Dealing & Stop Presidential Profiteering | Senate Democratic Leadership

This was the biggest threat to the 2020 election.

So let’s get this straight: When Barack Obama was president = no fraud When Donald Trump was president = fraud When Joe Biden was president = no fraud I think we found the corruption.

Donald Trump fed the American people more lies tonight. With major election losses months away, he’s attempting to undermine confidence in our electoral system in a desperate attempt to hold onto power. Americans aren’t falling for it. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies wedefendthevote.org/trump-contin...

We spoke to Mitch McConnell on the phone and he said the SAVE Act is a dumpster fire piece of crap legislation

Defend The Vote didn’t endorse Graham Platner in this race because of serious, longstanding concerns about his character. Politico's new reporting of credible sexual assault allegations make it clear Platner is unfit to serve in public office. He should end his campaign immediately.

🚨 Congratualtions to @jenagriswold.bsky.social on her victory in the CO-AG Primary.

🚨 Congratulations to @killinforco.bsky.social on her victory in the CO-05 Primary.

The NRSC vs. FEC decision today by the Supreme Court is shameful. It opens the door to even more corruption in our political system by allowing wealthy donors to pour more money into politics and exert more influence over elected officials.

Today's Supreme Court decision is good news for American voters. Every eligible voter who follows the law and casts a ballot on time deserves to have that vote counted. While this Court has repeatedly undermined access to voting, today's decision reached the right result.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

Had a great time meeting with @govwesmoore.bsky.social. He has done a fantastic job in leading the fight for affordability, higher wages, democracy, and cutting corruption.

Trump is holding the housing affordability bill hostage unless Congress passes the SAVE Act to rig the election. The SAVE Act doesn’t have the votes to pass thanks to Democrats. Trump is desperate. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

A 9% increase in pregnancy-related deaths in states with abortion bans. That’s the reality of a post-Dobbs America. @cortezmasto.senate.gov

🚨 Congratulations to April McClain Delaney on her victory in the MD-06 Primary.

Trump is trying to strong arm Congress into picking up the failed SAVE Act again so he can rig the midterms in his favor, instead of passing a bipartisan landmark housing affordability bill. Sad, weak, and pathetic.

Trump cancels bipartisan housing bill signing, reiterates demand for SAVE America Act

President Trump canceled a planned signing ceremony on Wednesday for a housing affordability bill that passed Congress by wide bipartisan margins.

Corruption and cost of living go hand in hand. People are tired of feeling like the system is working for everyone except them, while healthcare, housing, and groceries keep getting more expensive and accountability keeps getting harder to find.

Juneteenth a celebration of the progress we've made and a reminder that the work that continues. Today, we honor the generations who fought to expand freedom and all of those who continue the resilient, ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union with liberty and justice for all.

James Talarico knows the cost of corruption. He knows it’s killing American families. And now he’s laser focused on unrigging the system for the rest of us.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Arizona voting advocates are pushing back on a proposed federal order affecting mail-in ballots. About 84% of voters in the state cast ballots by mail in 2024, raising concerns about how changes could affect access. #Voting #Elections @wedefendthevote.org

Rep. Brad Schneider: My great grandmother fled Russia to come here in 1912. She became a citizen but still couldn’t vote. I have no doubt Republicans will try to take us back there.

Claiming election fraud because Spencer Pratt lost in L.A. is like claiming election fraud because AOC lost in rural Texas.
