Trump banner on Justice Dept. building draws authoritarian comparisons Democrats criticized the appearance of the president on the headquarters of a department that has long prided itself on being independent from the White House.

Every day on the way to the DNC, I’ll have to bike past this desecration. Every day it will remind me why I’m fighting to protect free and fair elections. So that Americans still have the ability to vote, to choose our leaders, and to end this nightmare. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There has got to be a valid Free Exercise clause challenge here, if grants are limited to religious groups whose practices conform to administration immigration enforcement and anti-civil rights priorities.

Thank you for shining a light on these efforts. DNC Legal is also gearing up to protect the upcoming DFL caucuses. ICE and CBP shouldn’t interfere with local democracy in Minnesota.

Exclusive: DNC flags legal risks in Trump DOJ voter roll request "Democrats stand ready to fight back and defend voters," DNC Chair Ken Martin said.

The Department of Justice should probably not be urging states to violate the National Voter Registration Act. Once again, the DNC is standing up for the rights of eligible citizens to stay on the registration rolls and cast ballots that count. www.axios.com/2026/01/09/t...

Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin encourages New Yorkers to vote for Mamdani ahead of general election The Democratic National Committee chair has spoken positively about Mamdani's campaign in the past, saying Democrats are "better served" by a broad coalition.

@Democrats is the DNC. And Chair Martin congratulated Mamdani immediately after the primary and endorsed him in the race. It’s a big tent. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

A pared-back White House Christmas — with a Trump Lego portrait This year’s holiday display is cut in half because of construction.

It’s in the Washington Post coverage. “Indeed, there’s not a menorah or a nod to other religious traditions in sight. A White House staffer confirmed there is no menorah.” www.washingtonpost.com/home/2025/12...

SNAP applications should include an opportunity to register to vote. Here’s hoping that this cruelty has unintended consequences.

Democrats foil justice department lawsuit by negotiating to keep 98,000 North Carolina voters Proposed consent order and agreement to allow voters to provide information while voting with provisional ballot

After the DNC sent a letter warning of potential NVRA violations, DOJ and the NC Board of Elections recognized that they can’t disenfranchise NC voters in federal elections. A win for the DNC and democracy! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Liberals: Alas, the Time Has Come to Throw John Rawls Under the Bus The greatest liberal philosopher of the twentieth century guided his creed toward neutrality. In the age of Trump, we can no longer afford that.

This essay is a perfect encapsulation of why my time for nonpartisan service in the Department of Justice came to an end and my time for partisan action at the Democratic National Committee began. It’s time we turn off the cruise control and get into gear.

You want to get rid of mail ballots? The ones Congress guaranteed to soldiers and diplomats overseas? You want to get rid of voting machines? The ones Congress guaranteed to assist voters with disabilities? This will be fun.
