Bad News First
The news can be overwhelming, but it can also inspire or focus our engagement. Let’s take the quickest little peek. So quick!
- Congressional votes to limit military action in Iran failed in both the House and Senate.
- The Department of Justice continues to file lawsuits demanding state voter registration data, for the first time including states with Republican governors. (Bright side: Republican-led states are refusing to turn over voter information.)
- AI-assisted warfare is now a thing.
But Here’s the Good News
Three for three! Each of these developments made the actual headlines. Is this winning? Is it happening?
- After two days of questioning by House and Senate members, Kristi Noem has been fired, but Democrats say this won’t resolve the DHS funding showdown.
- A judge has ordered the administration to finalize millions of pending imports without charging illegal emergency tariffs. More than 1,000 companies have sued for refunds, and at least two dozen states have now sued to challenge new global tariffs.
- The Republican-led House Oversight Committee has voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files. Shortly afterward, additional files were released, including witness interviews containing allegations against President Trump.
And Here’s What You Can Do
Doing a little democracy doesn't have to be hard! Plus, even small efforts have the potential to ripple out in ways we don’t expect.
- MARCH 10: Attend a one-hour Zoom webinar on threats to voting rights and what you can do to help protect them.
