Trump Must Sign Ethics Pledge & Transition Documents

President-elect Donald Trump still has not signed legal documents – including an ethics pledge - needed to formally begin his administration’s transition of power. Candidates usually file these documents well in advance of the election. As a result of this delay, the government cannot provide security clearances, briefings and resources to Trump’s incoming team before he is sworn into office on January 20th.

Raleigh News & Observer: Idea exchange or corporate lobbying front? A look into ALEC’s influence in NC

"What I worry about in the general sense is you want to think that proposals and legislation comes from the people who are electing the folks representing them in the legislature and that there is some kind of local initiative for that," said Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause NC. "But when you have a bill mill that really is serving the interests of special interests in corporate America and right-of-center agendas, that's alarming."

Public News Service: Pro-Democracy Group: Regulators Should Say “No Dice” to Election Betting

However, Stephen Spaulding, vice president for policy at the group Common Cause, said this would put even more pressure on the health of democracy in current political environment.

"This opens up a significant risk to the perception that the winners and losers of an election are not determined by voters, but by those who stand to gain financially," he said.

Common Cause has sent a filing to the commission, asking that it reject the proposal. Leadership with the House Task Force on Strengthening Democracy issued a...

Baltimore Sun: Who paid lobbyists a total of $48.8 million to influence Maryland lawmaking, and what did they get?

"I'm shocked every time I see how much money is being spent," said Joanne Antoine, executive director of Common Cause Maryland. The nonprofit group does its own lobbying for "good government" bills, like those that expand ethics laws or transparency around money in politics.

Antoine said the disclosures can help the public "connect the dots"

on how both major institutions and grassroots advocates affect legislation.

"Unfortunately, this is where they have the advantage over organizations like ours,"...

La Ley de Protección de Nuestra Democracia frenará los abusos de poder de futuros presidentes

Ningún estadounidense está por encima de la ley, ni siquiera el presidente. Pero durante la administración Trump aprendimos que las leyes existentes no son suficientes para evitar los abusos del cargo de presidente. Necesitamos fuertes barreras de protección en forma de leyes. Necesitamos la Ley de Protección de Nuestra Democracia para brindar mayores controles y contrapesos a los poderes de la presidencia y, al mismo tiempo, crear nuevos mecanismos de transparencia y rendición de cuentas.

USA Today/Center for Public Integrity: ‘Lose the courts, lose the war’: The battle over voting in North Carolina

Texas Tribune/VoteBeat: Texas begins withdrawal from multistate partnership to clean voter rolls

Katya Ehresman, voting rights program manager at Common Cause, a nonprofit that advocates for voting rights and government accountability, said the state’s chief elections officer should instead be “making it easier to exercise our right to vote.”

“Deploying partisan tactics like this only stands to scare people away from the ballot box and doesn’t do anything to strengthen the security of our state’s elections,” she said.

Tampa Bay Times/PolitiFact: A pro-Ron DeSantis ad used AI to create Donald Trump’s voice. It won’t be the last, experts say

While the pro-DeSantis ad accurately shares Trump’s words from the Truth Social post, Common Cause disinformation analyst Emma Steiner said she still found the use of AI-generated content in a political campaign "concerning."

"In an information environment where voters are faced with a deluge of false and misleading information, AI content has the potential to muddy the waters even more," she said. "My major concern is that there are, as yet, very few ‘rules of the road’ for the use of AI in political campaigns at a...
