On @TheDailyShow last night, @PeteButtigieg crystal clear about his #1 priority his first day in the oval office: "I think day one you launch a package of democratic reforms to strengthen our democracy." #democracy2020 cc.com/video-clips/r0…

The brief was filed shortly after SCOTUS refused to review the 9th Circuit's decision to appoint a private attorney in the case--a decision that we supported in another amicus brief: …z1kqd5812oc8r-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/upl…

Good to see @JoeBiden put voting and election security at the heart of his platform. It's critical that all Americans can participate in our most basic democratic processes: "Either all of us decide who runs and wins elected office, or only a few do." joebiden.com/joes-vision/

The national emergency declaration is just one more act in a pattern of increasingly authoritarian behavior by this President, and we don’t intend to let it stand. Read the full summary judgment motion here: documentcloud.org/documents/5978…

The President’s contrived national emergency has caused real harm to real people, including the plaintiffs @BNHR and @CountyofElPaso. Their injuries are detailed in our amended complaint, which is available here: documentcloud.org/documents/5978…

We also sued the President because his declaration of a national emergency violates federal statutes, including the National Emergencies Act. There is no “emergency.” The President himself admitted that he “didn’t need to” declare one. newyorker.com/news/current/i…

We sued the President because his national emergency declaration is unconstitutional. Congress has the constitutional power of the purse and expressly denied President Trump’s request for border wall funding. The President is not a king. protectdemocracy.org/national-emerg…

Good to see @GovLarryHogan calling the Mueller Report like he sees it. But bottom line: Congress must fulfill its oversight role and it needs to see the full report. twitter.com/CNNPolitics/st…
