All Trump loyalists in the DOJ must recuse themselves from decisions about Trump’s $230 million administrative claims – including Trump’s personal lawyer Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

And our members of Congress must loudly condemn this scheme and pass legislation to make it illegal for White House officials to seek settlements from the DOJ while in office.

Americans deserve a democracy that fosters their ability to vote and holds their elected leaders accountable, regardless of whether they have a felony The practice of disenfranchising people because of a felony conviction should no longer be practiced in the U.S.

Common Cause Urges “No” Vote on Anti-Voter SAVE Act

Common Cause is urging every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to vote “no” when the “SAVE” Act is expected to be brought to the floor later this week. The letter flags the legislation as a solution in search of a problem and stresses that the proposed “solution” would actually deny the right to vote to millions of Americans. Common Cause plans to key-vote this legislation in its Democracy Scorecard, which is sent to its more than 1.5 million members,...

With the World Cup and Olympics approaching, the United States should be welcoming visitors, not treating them as suspects.

We urge you to drop the proposed rule that would force tourists to hand over DNA, facial scans, fingerprints, and years of social media history just to enter the United States. We’ve already seen how this kind of data is misused through unaccountable surveillance systems.

Partisan operatives are trying to change how electoral districts are drawn, in a radical effort to undermine our representative democracy.

No one is above the law, including Donald Trump.

But the Supreme Court’s dangerous presidential immunity ruling puts that principle at risk and goes against accountability, the rule of law, and our Constitution.

Congress must pass a constitutional amendment to permanently declare that no American is above the law – not even former presidents – and prohibit presidents from pardoning themselves.

Given his close relationship with billionaire oil baron Philip Anschutz, he cannot be trusted to rule impartially in this case — which could lead to a rollback of environmental protections and major profits for his Big Oil friends.

The president-elect’s Project 2025 agenda would be a nightmare for our democracy – if we don’t stop it.

That’s why we’re calling on all government officials to pledge to defend the bedrock values of our democracy – the rule of law, the right to vote, and the freedom to protest – against Trump’s dangerous agenda.
