Eligible voters deserve access to voting methods that work for them. Single mothers, night workers, veterans, and disabled Americans rely on mail-in voting because it’s safe, secure, and accessible. Trump has no right to take that away.

The news out of Utah is horrifying. Violence is never the answer. We should all be deeply disturbed: this pattern is growing. MN was just a few months ago. It doesn’t matter who started it. It’s on all of us to end it. The politics in this country are toxic & lives are in danger

Last night, Trump’s DOJ filed lawsuits against Maine and Oregon - and their Secretaries of State, Tobias Read and @ShennaBellows - for refusing to blindly hand over voters’ sensitive, private data without any legal or constitutional basis. We refuse to back down.

The President is looking for an excuse to unleash force on Americans in response to his critics. Please don’t give him an excuse. Exercise your rights by protesting peacefully.

Representative Hòa Nguyễn was a dedicated, passionate, and accomplished public servant. Oregon is a more just, compassionate place because of her leadership. Our hearts are with her family and her community today as we all mourn her loss.
