BIG NEWS: CLC Action & @GiffordsCourage just filed a groundbreaking lawsuit against the NRA for violations of campaign finance laws.

When groups engage in illegal coordination w/ candidates, as the NRA did, it enables secret spending and corruption.

Amid the widespread and determined attempts to create deliberate barriers to our #FreedomToVote, @CampaignLegal has written to the @WhiteHouse to provide recommendations on steps @POTUS & the federal gov't can take to promote access to voting. Learn more:

The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, pending in the Senate, would restore preclearance of election-law changes for states with poor voting-rights records. It would have stopped many recent state-level anti-voter laws in their tracks. Pass it!

Why is it that it takes only 51 votes in the Senate to install the Justices who are undermining the Voting Rights Act, but it takes 60 votes to restore the Act to its intended function. #ForthePeople #HR1 #VRA #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct #ForthePeopleAct

For the Campaign Legal Center, we filed suit today for two nonprofits challenging a Kansas anti-voter law that prevents organizations from helping voters obtain absentee ballots. https://t.co/Jx11VPOKrT

@DaniLang_DC Beautiful!!

#ForThePeopleAct gets a hearing in the Senate this week. Leading up to it, I've been seeing a lot of hot takes on the bill from the voting community. I'll respond here to a few of them. TL;DR: #ForThePeopleAct can & must pass and its a necessary partner to the John Lewis VRA.

No joke, on this date in 1931, Louis Armstrong recorded...”Georgia on My Mind.” Talk about a relevant choice for today’s news! Here’s the original 78 label and the music to go along with it: https://t.co/tazoHGusAn

[Eric Holder @EricHolder]

With partisan gerrymandering decision (plus Citizens United/Shelby) Roberts Court has entered a new political Lochner era. This decision tears at the fabric of our democracy and puts the interests of the established few above the many. History will not be kind in its assessment.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

When the President:

Denigrates the independence of the judiciary,

Attempts to have Justice Dept investigate his rivals,

Calls the press an “enemy of the people”

That’s what attacks on the rule of law look like.

When Congress fights back:

That is what democracy looks like.

News flash - picture of Pepco STILL not working in NW Washington, 24/7 - 5 pm Sunday, March 4. And, Pepco’s website has said “Crew Dispatched” since Friday. ?! Must have been some wrong turn.

[Rob Weiner @rob78910]

These are pictures of Pepco “working 24/7” in NW DC. We’ve been paying rates that should cover investment in adequate restoration capacity. We deserve a refund, not to mention some power. #pepco #dccitycouncil #dcpublicservicecomm
