Don't let the GOP hand Trump more power — oppose the No Rogue Rulings Act!

Petition to the U.S. Senate: We urge you to OPPOSE the No Rogue Rulings Act. Our democracy depends on checks and balances and the independence of the courts. Please oppose all efforts to undermine judicial oversight. SIGN THE PETITION! Trump and Elon Musk are attacking federal judges every time they rule against the administration's extreme, illegal policies — threatening impeachment and spreading lies about judicial powers. So, Republicans in Congress drew up legislation to strip power from the judiciary, and the House just passed this dangerous bill. The "No Rogue Rulings Act" is an extreme right-wing reaction to federal judges placing injunctions on Trump's policies. If passed through the Senate, the bill would remove critical checks on presidential power. Trump would take a giant step closer to absolute power. Sign the petition: Stop legislation that removes power from judges and hands it to Trump! "This isn't a partisan question. If we want presidents to obey the law, courts need to be able to stop them when they're overstepping," said the American Civil Liberties Union. When House Republicans passed the No Rogue Rulings Act, they used the same baseless propaganda coming from the Trump admin. They called district judges "left-leaning activists" looking to "weaponize" cases. In reality, judges ruling against Trump are doing their jobs to protect the Constitution and prevent unlimited, illegal presidential power. Republicans are doing everything they can to remove the checks and balances in the federal system so Trump can grab power and do whatever he wants. We can't let Congress take judicial powers from district judges who are holding the Trump administration accountable. We need our Senators to protect the rule of law and stop the No Rogue Rulings Act. Sign the petition: Stop Trump's power grab — oppose the No Rogue Rulings Act!

tough news:

 

Good afternoon, it's Dan Shaw -- the DCCC's Digital Fundraising Director.

We just ran our End-of-Month fundraising report up to Leader Jeffries, and I'm sorry to share that we fell short of our goal.

This was a challenging month:

• House Republicans, bankrolled by MAGA Millionaires, outraised us in March for the very first time since Trump retook office.


• Donald Trump attacked platforms like ActBlue in a blatant attempt to shut down our grassroots movement and stop Democrats from taking back the House.


• And now, even as Donald Trump’s approval plummets through the floor, donations to elect House Democrats have slowed to a crawl.

We need your help to get back on track.

You haven’t yet given to elect House Democrats, but I think you want to help take down the Trump Trifecta. So, I'm asking you to make your first donation right now. If you are able, please consider giving $4 using this link >>

We can only put an end to Donald Trump’s Trifecta -- and pave the way for a better future -- by working together to elect House Democrats.

Thank you for everything you do to elect Democrats.

The People’s Watchdog Newsletter - May 1

This week's Common Cause newsletter is just a 4 minute read at 559 words.

Thursday, May 1, 2025 👋 Hi Pamela! Happy Friday Eve and happy May Day, also known as International Workers' Day. We made it to the end of the week! We are happy to bring you The People's Bi-Weekly Watchdog Newsletter, delivered to your inbox every other Thursday. We bring you the news you need to know from the nonpartisan source you can trust. This week's Common Cause newsletter is just a 4 minute read at 559 words. 🏛️ 100 Days of the Trump Administration Trump's first 100 days in office are already an all-out assault on our rights, our wallets, and our democracy. We won't sit back. That's why we launched the People's Promise campaign: a vision for a government that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. It's about calling on elected officials—from Congress to city hall—to deliver on an economy that works for everyone, a government that serves the people and not the wealthiest among us, and equal rights and opportunity for all. This summer, millions of Americans are rising up to make sure those promises are kept. Check out PeoplesPromise.us to join us and see how you can get involved. 🗳️⛷️ Historic Voting Rights Legislation Passes in Colorado While the Trump administration is slashing federal voting rights protections, our advocates with Colorado Common Cause are helping to pave a different path. The Colorado Voting Rights Act (COVRA) just passed through the state's legislature and now heads to the governor's desk to be signed into law. Once signed, the COVRA would cement voting rights protections into state law, would give 1.37 million Coloradans access to multilingual ballots in their local elections, and would make Colorado the first state to create specific protections for LGBTQ+ voters and eligible voters confined in county jails. 📜⚖️ Protecting Birthright Citizenship at the Supreme Court On April 29, Common Cause filed an amicus brief in Trump v. Casa Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court case challenging President Trump's executive order attempting to end the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the United States. In addition to defending birthright citizenship, the brief focuses on the Trump administration's dangerous attempt to weaken federal courts by taking away their power to fully stop unconstitutional actions—one of the most important tools courts use to protect people's rights and maintain the checks and balances that safeguard our democracy. 📱 Our Favorite Tweet 👀 ICYMI We're working so hard to protect our democracy, we could write you a novel instead of a newsletter. Instead, here are the top headlines you don't want to miss: Michigan 🚘: For more than 100 days, voters in Michigan have been without a state representative. Yet, Governor Gretchen Whitmer still hasn't called a special election. Common Cause Michigan is speaking up to tell the governor to end the delays and give representation to the people. Click here to read more about our work. Nebraska 🌽: After Nebraskans passed a measure to legalize medical marijuana, an attorney filed a lawsuit to overturn the measure. Then, the same attorney never filed his required financial disclosures. So, Common Cause's Gavin Geis filed a complaint so the people know what money—and whose money—was spent trying to overturn their will. Click here to learn more. Florida 🍊: As the Trump administration weakens federal voting rights protections day by day by, states are fighting back. Common Cause Florida's Amy Keith wrote in support of the Harry T. & Harriette V. Moore Florida Voting Rights Act, which would secure access to the ballot for all eligible Floridians.

The clock is ticking ...

Donald Trump's budget assault on working people is here.

Dear MoveOn member, Donald Trump's budget assault on working people is here. And it's exactly what we feared. Next week, Trump, his wealthy allies, and his cronies in Congress will take the next step to gut the food assistance and health care programs millions of working Americans rely on daily: Medicaid for people with disabilities, Medicare and Social Security for seniors, Meals on Wheels and SNAP for low-income families, and so much more.1 Their goal is to pass Trump's massive tax giveaway for billionaires by Memorial Day. With less than a month to go, the clock is ticking. But here's the good news: We can win this fight. Republicans in Congress are deeply divided over these cuts. Their slim majority means they can lose only FOUR votes out of their 220 members to pass this budget. Four votes stand between Trump's plan and defeat. And thanks to our monthslong pressure campaign, a dozen House Republicans have already written a letter warning they won't support cuts to Medicaid.2 Our mobilizations are working. But we can't stop now. That's why MoveOn is scaling up our campaign work and mobilizing in full force: Our nationwide petition against federal aid cuts has already gathered more than 131,000 signatures.3 We're flooding Congress with calls, targeting persuadable Republicans in moderate districts who know they don't represent MAGA districts to pressure them to reject Trump's cuts. We've launched a rapid-response website where organizers can get the latest information and take immediate action.4 Our strategy is clear: Target persuadable Republicans who know their constituents depend on these programs. With MoveOn members in every congressional district in America, we have the power to make representatives feel the heat from their own voters. But this kind of strategic, targeted organizing requires resources. Will you donate $9 right now to help us stop Trump's billionaire-first budget? (If you have saved your payment information with ActBlue, your donation will go straight through.) While Trump is meeting with billionaires like Elon Musk to plan how to redirect our tax dollars to their pockets, everyday Americans are wondering how they'll afford health care, put food on the table, and secure their retirement. The stakes couldn't be higher. If Trump and the Republicans' budget passes: Families who rely on SNAP could lose food assistance. Millions could see their health care coverage through Medicaid and Medicare threatened. Critical research into cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's could be even further threatened. Social Security benefits that seniors have earned over a lifetime of work could be at risk. These aren't abstract concerns; these are real impacts on millions of people in communities across America. House Speaker Mike Johnson is storming ahead to get this legislation to Trump's desk by Memorial Day. Which means we don't have much time to act. But, remember, we've won these fights before. In 2017, we stopped Trump from gutting the Affordable Care Act through grassroots pressure. We can do it again. Your support today will help us organize phone banks, equip local advocates with resources, and ensure that every Republican hears from their constituents. Please, if you are able, rush a $9 donation right now. (If you have saved your payment information with ActBlue, your donation will go straight through.) When ordinary Americans stand together, we have extraordinary power. Let's use it. Thanks for all you do. –Nakia, Amanda D., Aliya, Rahna, and the rest of the team P.S. Republicans are already fighting among themselves over these cuts. With your help, we can drive a wedge within the Republican Party and stop these devastating cuts. Please donate $9 today to power our campaign. (If you have saved your payment information with ActBlue, your donation will go straight through.) Sources: 1.

May Day actions are happening in your community. Join one today —

The legacy of the labor and immigrant rights movement lives on today.

Pamela: Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom — on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself.

This May Day we're resisting. Commemorating the sacrifices of workers who fought for union rights and the eight-hour workday, we are fighting for a country that puts our families over billionaires' fortunes: healthcare and housing over tanks and missiles, peace and prosperity over Pentagon contractors and war profiteers.

We will not be silent as Trump and Musk defund humanitarian aid, target immigrants and students with fear and violence, and plow hundreds of billions more to weapons and war. Last month, hundreds of thousands of people (including our ED Sara Haghdoosti!) across all 50 states rallied to say Hands Off our social services. Hands Off our rights. Hands Off our communities.

Today, across over 1,000 May Day events, Win Without War is supporting a national day of action organized by labor unions and working people who demand a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all — and not just a chosen few.

We need you to join us in speaking out against Trump's agenda that puts billionaires first, Pamela. Click here to find a May Day event in your community that you can attend today, if you're able.

FIND AN EVENT

Why today on May Day, International Worker's Day? Working people built this nation and there's so much we can learn from the victories and struggles of the labor movement in our ongoing struggles today. The government takeover by oligarchs like Trump and Musk have laid bare: Only we can be counted on to take care of each other.

So whether or not you're able to attend a May Day event today, your activism won't end there. Mutual aid is one of the most effective ways we can be there for one another as Trump tries to tear us down.

In this moment, that especially means defending our immigrant neighbors who are increasingly under attack by this rogue administration. Win Without War has assembled a list of just a few of the many organizations across the country providing tangible support:

• Informed Immigrant is an all-encompassing, trusted resource for immigrants. They provide written legal resources concerning detentions and deportations, healthcare resources, information about education, and even run a directory for finding legal assistance.


• KYR App reads your rights out loud to ICE officers, allows users to send a text message to pre-set contacts in the case of potential detainment, and helps develop a preparedness plan. It takes ten times the resources for ICE to detain someone who knows their rights than someone who does not, which is why the National Korean American Service & Education Consortium created this easily accessible Know Your Rights app.


• Immigration Advocates Network is a directory for immigration legal services. You can search for providers by state, county, or detention facility to find organizations that provide free or low-cost immigration legal services.


• Migrant Clinicians Network is increasing access to healthcare for immigrants across the country by connecting people with care when they need it and bolstering the clinicians who serve them.

Share these organizations with your friends, family, and community, support them as you're able, and even bookmark them for your own reference. You can visit our website to find even more resources, including state-specific organizations!

Now and always, our job is to defend communities facing violence and injustice. Together, we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure people can thrive in peace and safety.

Thank you for your activism and commitment to peace,
The Win Without War team
