Trump’s A.G. Pam Bondi Guts DOJ’s Voting Rights Leadership

President Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi removed the leadership team of the Voting Section of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and ordered the dismissal of all the section’s active cases. The Voting Section enforces the federal laws protecting the right to vote, including the Voting Rights Act, the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act and the Civil Rights Acts.

Add Your Name: Deliver on the People’s Promise

Trump had his 100 days. Now it’s our turn.

President Trump and his allies have spent the past 100 days attacking our rights, undermining our democracy, and enriching the ultra-wealthy, while driving up the cost of living for working-class Americans. It’s a deliberate strategy to distract and divide us while they seize power and wealth.

Tell Congress: BLOCK Trump’s $400 million bribe

Members of congress must use their authority to block Trump from accepting the $400 million luxury plane Qatar is gifting to him.

The Constitution’s Emoluments Clause forbids presidents from accepting these sorts of “gifts” for obvious reasons. Congress has the tools to block this bribe, from amending must-pass defense bills to halting nominees.

Congress must REJECT this shady plane deal and hold this administration accountable to working for We The People – not the highest bidder.

Tell Congress: Hold Trump’s FBI Accountable

The Trump administration is ordering the FBI to ease up on white-collar crime so they can focus on Trump’s cruel mass deportation agenda.

It isn’t just hateful – it’s a reckless diversion of public resources that makes us all less safe, while the wealthy elite laugh all the way to the bank.

Congress – and the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, which are tasked with holding the FBI accountable – must investigate this abuse and STOP the FBI from misusing its power.

Tell Congress: Shut Down DOGE Now

As DOGE dismantles the programs meant to protect us, it’s ordinary Americans who suffer. Behind every cut are real people facing real hardships.

Congress must REJECT Trump’s attempts to expand DOGE. Don’t give another penny to a rogue agency that’s tearing down our government. Defund DOGE now.
