DOJ Sues California Over 20,000 Voters’ Ballots
The Justice Department sued California after demanding that the state verify the citizenship of more than 20,000 registered voters or set aside their mail ballots. California refused, and the lawsuit comes as voting is already underway for the November midterm election.

Clarity. Groundedness. Space. Community.
Some of what I get at my longtime home yoga studio @purefireyoga in Bethesda. Local DMV friends, I couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you @marcusleeyogi and @dabbindadd for creating this space, @andreajarrell for blazing a trail as we grow here, @spiritvigilante for the wonderful photo.
Important conversation with our fellows @JudyWoodruff and @ruthbenghiat about press freedom at a time when it is imperiled — do watch this latest episode of #TheStakes
Press access is not just about who gets into the room. It shapes what the public can know about its government.
KF Fanning Fellow @JudyWoodruff and Senior Fellow @RuthBenGhiat bring decades of expertise in journalism and authoritarianism to the latest episode of #TheStakes with @bradrourke. Together, they analyze President Trump's decision to exclude @CNN, @MSNOWNews, and @politico from the White House press pool. bit.ly/3TtREFK
Amazing night at @BulwarkOnline live event in Dayton featuring our @KetteringFdn senior fellows @BillKristol and @SarahLongwell25 — in support of the Springfield Haitian community. Gave me great hope to see the community supporting one another, and for Bulwark to shine its national spotlight on what is happening. Over $200k raised.

We’re leaving #FightForOurFuture with a much clearer sense of what’s at stake, where power can be built, and the role each of us can play in shaping what comes next thanks to our iconic panelist.
Thank you to Stacey Abrams, Jonathan Capehart, Terrance Woodbury, and everyone who joined us at CBCF #ALC55.

At #ALC55, Jonathan Capehart guides the #FightForOurFuture panel through a conversation about race, political power, and what a more inclusive democracy could look like.
Always an honor to see Kettering senior fellow @staceyabrams — here we are at Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference, where we sponsored a panel featuring Stacey.
