The 50-49 confirmation vote is disappointing, but it isn't the final word. The country deserves an Attorney General who serves the people, not just the president. Common Cause will ensure Todd Blanche is accountable to us.
No one should get special treatment under the law just because they’re wealthy or powerful. But a sweeping immunity deal for President Trump raises serious concerns about accountability, transparency, and equal justice. Here are 5 things you should know 🧵⬇️

#OTD in 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, opening the doors of democracy to millions of eligible voters. Its promise is simple: every eligible voter deserves to cast a ballot and have it counted free from discrimination, intimidation, or violence.

What’s the biggest takeaway from Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing last week? Survivors should never have to wait until a senator’s swing vote is on the line before someone decides they’re worth hearing. Read our latest Substack article: https://bit.ly/44AJdue

The Attorney General should serve the interests of the people. Sen. John Cornyn said it himself. Now it's time to live up to those words. Common Cause is on the ground in Texas urging him to #BlockBlanche. Americans deserve an independent DOJ—not Todd Blanche.
The EAC is an independent, bi-partisan organization to support elections. President Trump just gutted it. Read about what this means for the upcoming mid-terms in this week's Substack: https://bit.ly/4pkvbX3
Watch our President and CEO, @virginiaksolomon.bsky.social, on The @joyannreid.bsky.social Show discussing why Todd Blanche is the wrong choice for Attorney General. Blanche has shown where his loyalties lie, and it's not with the American people. #BlockBlanche

The murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo marks the 10th fatal shooting by immigration officials during Trump's second term. Ten lives. Ten families forever changed. At Common Cause, we believe our government should be transparent and held accountable when lives are taken. #ICEOut
Drawing comparisons to Scandal’s Cyrus Beene, today’s Pop Congress cross examines Todd Blanche’s AG nomination, and how he has put loyalty to one person over loyalty to country. Read on Substack: https://bit.ly/4fauzi5
We need an Attorney General who defends the people. Todd Blanche is only interested in protecting President Trump. More than 11,000 Common Cause members and Senator Tillis’ North Carolina constituents expect the senator to #BlockBlanche
Yesterday SCOTUS just handed the wealthy a bigger megaphone in our elections. This is an open invitation for big money to dominate our democracy. Congress must set new limits on political spending and restore the firewall between parties and candidates.
A victory for all Americans, SCOTUS struck down a presidential executive order that would have changed the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship definition. Today may be a brief win, but our fight to protect our multiracial democracy continues.
Marsha P. Johnson's legacy reminds us that progress is never guaranteed, it takes courage, community, and action. As we close out Pride Month, we honor those who paved the way and recommit to building a democracy where everyone belongs. 🏳️🌈
🌈 This Pride Month, we honor Sylvia Rivera, a pioneering transgender activist who spent her life fighting for LGBTQ+ rights and uplifting those too often left behind. Her legacy reminds us that Pride is rooted in the ongoing fight for equality, dignity, and justice for all. 🏳️🌈
🌈 This Pride Month, we celebrate Audre Lorde, whose writing and activism remind us that democracy is strongest when every voice is heard. As she wrote: "Your silence will not protect you." May we continue to speak up—for each other and for our communities.
Celebrate the final days of #PrideMonth by streaming stories that uplift LGBTQ+ voices, experiences, and joy. 🌈 Here's what's on our watchlist! 🎬
Access to more footage is great when it comes to your favorite reality TV show, but is more concerning when it comes to real life. Read Preston Mitchum's latest Substack on why we need strict rules about who the government can track, when, and how. bit.ly/4eO30en
