The Republican majority on the court also threw out a petition filed earlier this week by redistricting lawsuit plaintiff Common Cause urging that the GOP requests be denied and the ruling remain intact. The advocacy group, which argued the rehearing request was improper, is “disappointed the Court is giving legislators another bite at the apple,” said Hilary Klein, an attorney who filed the Common Cause motion.

Office of Congressional Ethics Saved Again But Must be Made Permanent
Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s thinly-veiled attempt to scuttle the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has been turned back by quick action from Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrats. The office faced newly-enacted arbitrary terms limits that disqualified several sitting Democratic board members and outrageously tight deadlines to replace them and hire staff. Thanks to Minority Leader Jeffries, and his swift appointments of new board members overcoming the GOP effort to gut the OCE, the office is on its way back to holding our...

Roll Call: McCarthy names GOP members to House Ethics Committee
“The appointment of Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) to the House Ethics Committee is especially revealing,” said Aaron Scherb, a senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause, in an email to CQ Roll Call. “When the committee is investigating Rep. George Santos’ numerous lies, fabrications, and significant ethical lapses, a reasonable observer could call into question the ability of Rep. Garbarino to be an objective investigator.”

Common Cause, 상원에 Gigi Sohn에 대한 중상모략 캠페인을 비난하고 그녀를 FCC에 신속히 승인할 것을 촉구
최근 몇 주 동안 산업계와 거액의 반대 세력은 Gigi Sohn의 FCC 위원 임명을 지연시키기 위한 중상모략 캠페인을 계속했습니다. 이러한 공격은 이제 FCC를 교착 상태로 유지하기 위한 노력으로 더욱 편견에 차고 증오적인 성격으로 바뀌었습니다. 교착 상태에 빠진 FCC는 모든 가정의 통신 요구를 해결하는 주요 우선순위를 추진할 수 없습니다. Common Cause는 상원에 이러한 공격을 비난하고 그녀를 FCC에 신속히 임명할 것을 촉구합니다.

TV Tech: Common Cause Calls on Senate to Confirm Gigi Sohn to FCC
Common Cause has issued a strongly worded plea for the U.S. Senate to confirm Gigi Sohn as a new commissioner to the FCC, saying that “in recent weeks, industry and big money opposition have continued to run a smear campaign to stall Gigi Sohn’s confirmation to serve as FCC commissioner. These attacks have now turned to a more bigoted and hateful nature in an effort to keep the FCC deadlocked. A deadlocked FCC is unable to advance key priorities that address the communications needs of all households. Common Cause calls on the Senate to...

Associated Press: Group: N.C. request for redistricting rehearing ‘frivolous’
Hilary Klein, an attorney for Common Cause, wrote that the rehearing petition is “frivolous.” She referred specifically to House Speaker Tim Moore’s public statement that another look at the cases was needed because the “people of North Carolina sent a message election day” to reject the ruling of the “outgoing (judicial) majority.”
The petition “is therefore motivated by improper purpose and grossly lacking in the requirements of propriety,” Klein wrote.

Plain Dealer/Cleveland.com: Corporate jets, bribes and dark money: Householder trial spotlights weaknesses in Ohio ethics laws
Catherine Turcer, executive director of the good-government group Common Cause Ohio, said it’s “astonishing” that lawmakers have yet to take up any reforms in response to the Householder scandal.
“It’s clear to me that the people in power like the structure that we have right now, and that they’re benefitting from the lack of transparency,” Turcer said. ...
Turcer said there’s a public interest in limiting lawmakers’ and other politicians’ ability to accept trips on private jets.

Salon: “Groyper” guru Nick Fuentes returns to Twitter (briefly): Hateful content keeps flowing
Yosef Getachew, a media and democracy program director at Common Cause, said allowing a blatantly bigoted and disruptive user like Fuentes back on Twitter sends a clear signal that the platform is failing to enforce its own policies, he added.
"You're creating an environment where users may feel threatened, harassed or attacked, or you could be inciting others to engage in offline violence," Getachew said. "That's essentially how the [Jan. 6] insurrection started, given that millions of users were exposed to harmful content and...
