Donald Trump cannot cancel the 2026 elections. But he can make it very difficult for them to be free and fair. His executive order is aimed at doing just that.
Here is my promise: We are going to sue to stop him and we will win.

This executive order is bad — cartoonishly so. But it is also a wake-up call for those who believe the danger of election subversion has passed.
To the contrary, it has only just begun.
And so has our fight.

Congress is about to vote on a Republican budget that would destroy Medicaid.
These 17 House Republicans won by fewer votes than the number of people they want to steal health care from.
We are sending billboards to their districts to demand they vote NO on the budget.

We currently do not have an FAA Administrator, because the previous one was forced out by the billionaire who got Trump elected and was given unchecked authority in return. He was forced out because he tried to fine the billionaire's space company for operating unsafely.
