House Republicans just voted with Democrats to stop President Trump’s illegal Iran war. 

Now, it’s the Senate’s turn. Common Cause and our one million members will ensure this war comes to an end NOW.

🏳️‍🌈 This Pride Month, we honor the LGBTQ+ leaders, advocates & everyday voters who power our democracy.

Attacks on equality are attacks on democracy—and we won’t stand for them.

We’re fighting for a system where EVERY voice counts.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Trump couldn’t find the money to help working families afford SNAP or Medicaid, but he was more than willing to create a $1.8 billion slush fund for cop beaters and insurrectionists.

Proud to have joined @CommonCause and @CREWcrew today to call out this blatant corruption.

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

This Pride Month, we’re standing in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community and recognizing the ongoing work for justice and equality.

Forgive us for not just taking your word for it.

Put it in writing and then let's talk.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is scrapping a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, Todd Blanche says, after Republican backlash. https://t.co/6CUJQ2f9VI

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

A $1.8 BILLION slush fund is a slap in the face to hardworking Americans who expect accountability from politicians, not using public office to cash in.

Congress must act NOW to protect taxpayers and ensure no future administration can exploit executive power for personal gain.

Today, for the very first time, 330,000 independent voters can participate in New Mexico's primary elections without changing their registration to a major party.

SB16, a bipartisan law that opens primary elections to independent voters and modernizes election administration statewide, was signed into law in April 2025. It passed with bipartisan support in both chambers.

@NMOpenElections and New Mexico Voters First led the multi-year campaign, spearheading a coalition that included @NativeVoters, @CommonCause New Mexico, @ProtectNM, the Veterans and Military Families Caucus, and more.

“With more participation, we get better electoral outcomes. We get elected officials that look like us, feel like us, have values like us. It’s a very challenging time in our country, and having this bill pass, to celebrate this and show that our state is moving forward, and we’re going to have an incredibly participative primary in 2026, is very exciting news that we all need.” — @NMSecOfState

“Democracy only works if we all play a part. When I took office, I wasn’t just elected to represent Republicans but all of my constituents. That includes my constituents in our state’s fastest growing party — independents. Senate Bill 16 gives everyone a voice and removes barriers for those who want to see the best candidate come forward from each party, not just the one that tacks hardest left or right to win the primary.” — @CrystalRDiamond (R–Senate District 35)

“I think the work to have open primaries is a step in the right direction for New Mexico, where we seem to not be able to govern in a way. I mean, I can't govern without policymakers.... And so I think open primaries are going to give New Mexicans some more opportunity here.…” — @GovMLG

The Trump Administration is backing down from its corrupt $1.8 Billion slush fund. Public pressure works. We’re still calling on Congress to put an end to this corrupt deal once and for all.

Who could have predicted this? Everyone except @GovofCO Jared Polis apparently

[Colorado Common Cause @CommonCauseCO]

Disgusting. We knew exactly what it meant when Governor Polis let Tina Peters walk... the next chapter of her relentless campaign to discredit our election system begins today!

BREAKING: We just won a major court victory temporarily stopping Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund from moving forward.

This is a huge win, but we're not done yet.

We're fighting to make sure Trump can’t use your hard-earned taxpayer money for his personal vendettas.

BREAKING: A judge just sided with Trump’s executive order attacking your right to vote by mail.

If voting by mail is secure enough for Donald Trump, it’s secure enough for every American.

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

Why should SCOTUS protect Mail-in Voting?

Voters like it! Even President Trump votes by mail 🗳️

Florida voters made it clear in 2010 that partisan gerrymandering was illegal under their state constitution. While we are disappointed in today's decision, Common Cause will continue to fight on behalf of the Florida voters.

Memorial Day is a time to honor the service members who gave their lives for this country and the freedoms we share.

One of the most powerful ways we can honor their memory is by continuing the fight to protect our democracy and ensuring every voice is heard.

[Common Cause @CommonCause]

Trump just settled his sham lawsuit against the IRS, but now he’s trying to walk away with a $1.8 billion of taxpayer money so he can line his friends' pockets. This is unacceptable. Sign now and let your lawmakers know where you stand ✍️
