Aujourd'hui, Common Cause a publié son tableau de bord de la démocratie 2024, qui suit les positions de chaque membre du Congrès sur des questions vitales pour la santé de notre démocratie au cours du 118e Congrès. Tout au long de ce Congrès, les membres de la Chambre et du Sénat ont été informés que divers votes sur des questions clés de la démocratie - notamment le droit de vote, l'éthique judiciaire et la divulgation du financement des campagnes - seraient comptabilisés dans le tableau de bord, qui sera distribué à nos 1,5 million de membres, alliés et médias nationaux et étatiques.  

La loi CLEAN obligera les membres du Congrès à respecter les normes éthiques les plus élevées.

VERMONT — Common Cause, the nonpartisan watchdog, released its 2024 “Democracy Scorecard," recording every member of Congress’ support for voting rights, Supreme Court ethics, and other reforms.  

Les preuves obtenues par Common Cause confirment que des agents politiques ont passé des années à comploter pour truquer notre démocratie avec une question sur la citoyenneté dans le recensement. Thomas Hofeller, le principal cerveau du redécoupage électoral du Parti républicain, a présenté un plan visant à ajouter la question sur la citoyenneté au recensement. Le but ? Manipuler notre recensement et notre processus de redécoupage pour que ce soit, selon les termes de Hofeller, « avantageux pour les républicains et les blancs non hispaniques ».

Tomorrow at 9:00 a.m., Common Cause President Karen Hobert Flynn will testify before the House Committee on the Judiciary’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties on the “Constitutional Means to Prevent Abuse of the Clemency Power.” Her full written testimony was submitted to the Subcommittee in advance of the hearing. Other witnesses include Georgetown University Law Professor Caroline Fredrickson and historian Timothy Naftali of New York University.

With tonight’s pardons and commutations, President Trump has once again gravely abused the power of the presidency. Instead of granting pardons as an act of clemency for those who regret their crimes, he is engaged in an effort to hide his own malfeasance by undermining the Russia probe and other political corruption issues. This is a reprehensible abuse of...

Americans expect and deserve to hear from witnesses in Donald Trump’s impeachment Trial. The latest revelations that former Trump national security advisor John Bolton can provide direct evidence to expose President Trump’s lies about withholding critical military aide to Ukraine hammer home the need for the Senate to call witnesses. These new details add to a growing mountain of evidence that the President withheld the aide for his personal political gain, lied about it, and had his entire administration stonewall in an attempt to cover...

Former Trump Administration national security advisor John Bolton’s willingness to testify highlights the need for witness testimony if the Senate is to hold a fair impeachment trial of Donald Trump. In the face of threats by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to move forward with the trial without Democratic support, Common Cause today urged every member of the Senate to commit to a fair and unbiased trial of President Trump – including calling witnesses and returning campaign funds raised for them by the President who will be the...
