Here is what Democracy Docket is tracking today: Active Voting Rights Cases: 157 Active Redistricting Cases: 44 Active Anti-Voting Cases: 77 Active Pro-Voting Cases: 76 Active DOJ Lawsuits: 27 democracydocket.com

The Trump admin is quietly deleting info about the Capitol attack from the DOJ website as it prepares to give funds to J6ers. This week, DOJ deleted a press release about one man with an ongoing child solicitation case who came to the Capitol with bear spray. Before and after:

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

The DOJ's attorney told the court at oral argument: "this whole notion that somehow there's going to be a national database created from" the voter registration data "is not true." Judge Walker quoted it. Then noted that an executive order directing DHS to compile a "State Citizenship List" from exactly that voter registration data was issued almost immediately after those assurances were given. That is not editorializing. That is a Trump-appointed federal judge documenting, in a footnote, the distance between what the government said under oath and what the government then did in public. The DOJ is 0-8. Four of those eight losses came from Trump's own appointees. The Civil Rights Act of 1960 argument has not persuaded a single judge across 31 cases. The footnote will outlast all of them.

🚨 Every Republican present in the House Appropriations Committee last night voted to make THEMSELVES eligible to collect from Trump's $1.8 billion January 6th slush fund. I am not making this up. I introduced an amendment to stop Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from collecting a single dollar from Trump’s slush fund unless a court actually orders it. Every single Republican who cast a vote was AGAINST my amendment, making themselves eligible for settlement funds. Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, have no business lining their own pockets by claiming they were victims of government weaponization. Trump set up this fund, now MAGA Republicans in Congress are ensuring they all can collect from it. That is exactly the kind of self-dealing corruption the American people are sick of.

Howard Lutnick's FIRST political donation since becoming Commerce Secretary was a $5 MILLION donation to House Republicans 1 month before they interviewed him about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.   Let that sink in. nytimes.com/2026/05/22/us/…

BREAKING: Harlingen just hit the brakes on new data center approvals. Texans across the state are asking the same question: why are Tech Barons fighting so hard to keep people in the dark? People are standing up for their land, water, and communities, and it’s working. We're winning against Big Tech, but I need your support to keep up the fight.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Trump says he wants to 'take' Cuba because he objects to one family using the state as a vehicle for personal enrichment. Let's just leave it there, shall we.

Trump has turned the presidency into a grift machine. Sneakers. Crypto scams. Foreign deals. Billion-dollar paydays. America has never seen corruption this shameless.

🚨🚨🚨 It keeps getting worse @lawyeroyer “The 1.8 billion Trump – Blanche slush fund is even more corrupt than we knew. Todd Blanche is offering to cut Republican senators IN on the PAYOUT to WIN their support. Please share widely and call your SENATORS to shut this down“‼️

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4a7l1TR

Here's how the corruption works: Thursday: RJ Reynolds donates $5M to Trump Saturday: Trump invites RJR execs to Mar a Lago; execs ask to loosen regs on flavored vapes; Trump calls up RFK Jr. and tells him to change it Friday: FDA changes the policy #donation-big-tobacco-vaping" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/05/2…

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Democrats NEED to be talking more about the GUTTING of the Voting Rights Act. MAGA is silencing voters and carving up Black districts all across the South to hold onto power. This is Jim Crow 2.0. Silence is NOT an option.

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

You won’t hear this on Fox News: California just released a balanced budget that wipes out the deficit this year AND next — while protecting health care and safety nets. Meanwhile, Trump ADDED $2.4 TRILLION to the federal deficit with his “Big Beautiful Betrayal.” Republicans ruin budgets. Democrats balance them. Adulting matters.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.

Donald Trump thinks the U.S. Treasury is his personal piggy bank. Let's be clear: the President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money - before a court rules. This is a massive, unprecedented scandal. Congress must stop him. I have a bill for that.
