Trump is following the modern-day autocratic playbook to entrench his faction in office and make it difficult for voters to dislodge them. So, what do we do about it? Preserve electoral competition.

Read how to understand and stop the Entrenchment Agenda:

Trump’s plans to dig in, cement power, and limit competition involves more than just government power. It’s also about harnessing the capabilities of modern tech. Nicole Schneidman and Dean Jackson explain: https://t.co/6GiE8IiowA

ICYMI: We sued to stop DOGE's illegal access to millions of Americans' private data.

DOGE is doing exactly what the Privacy Act was designed to stop: political cronies breaking the law to snoop on vast amounts of Americans' data and try to use it to benefit themselves.

Until Donald Trump, arguably the single-most scandalous episode for the modern presidency was Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre in 1973. Now we get a massacre every weekend.

NARFE Files Suit to Preserve Merit-Based Civil Service https://t.co/2v6u0lbiTJ via @protctdemocracy @SelendyGayLaw @GovAcctProj

[Government Accountability Project @GovAcctProj]

This suit is an undertaking, but we’re ready to prove that Americans want and need competent federal workers loyal to the Constitution—not to a president in power.

Civil servants will be stripped of their protections and partisan political loyalty will be required.

Federal employees are scared, but we will defend the workers who look out for us not only as whistleblowers but as dedicated civil servants.

Schedule P/C endangers the nonpartisan civil service by reclassifying thousands of federal workers as at-will employees, dismantling the merit system.

It is a danger to the principle of checks and balances, democratic institutions, and Americans’ safety.

We are co-plaintiffs with @narfehq represented by @protctdemocracy in a lawsuit against the Trump Admin over its Executive Order "Schedule Policy/Career."

Our lawsuit asserts that this is a danger to our democratic institutions.

Let's talk about it. ⬇️

❗ICYMI❗'DOGE' agents—handpicked Trump loyalists—are snooping through sensitive government records with no safeguards. The Privacy Act of 1974 was designed to prevent exactly this kind of abuse.

We’re taking them to court. Read more 🔗 https://t.co/4nd5CpbP6b

🚨BREAKING🚨: We're suing to stop DOGE's illegal access to millions of Americans' private data. DOGE is doing exactly what the Privacy Act was designed to stop: political cronies breaking the law to snoop on vast amounts of Americans' data and try to use it to benefit themselves.

[Protect Democracy @protctdemocracy]

"No one should be fooled — they're not doing this for our benefit. Their goal is to snoop on Americans' data and use what they find to enrich themselves, reward allies & punish critics," said @KPNatsFan, lead counsel.

Check out the latest statement from the National Task Force on Election Crises on the ongoing certification dispute in the North Carolina Supreme Court race.

[Election Task Force @ElectionTask]

Despite clear, verified results, the North Carolina Supreme Court race has yet to be certified 3 months after polls closed. Any outcome other than a swift resolution that seats the lawful winner sets a dangerous precedent for future elections.

There are two competing storylines about Trump right now. One, that we’re in the middle of a constitutional crisis. Two, that Trump and Musk *want* you to believe this is a coup.

Both of these stories are true and here’s what to do about it: 🔗 https://t.co/NufyqJSwF6
