Trump doit signer un engagement éthique et des documents de transition

Le président élu Donald Trump n’a toujours pas signé les documents juridiques – notamment un engagement éthique – nécessaires pour entamer officiellement la transition du pouvoir de son administration. Les candidats déposent généralement ces documents bien avant l’élection. En raison de ce retard, le gouvernement ne peut pas fournir d’habilitations de sécurité, de briefings et de ressources à la nouvelle équipe de Trump avant qu’il ne prête serment le 20 janvier.

Newsweek: Donald Trump Slams ‘Political’ Decision to Drop ‘Amazing’ One America News

Verizon's move means OAN "will be left without a major carrier to spread its often harmful and dangerous disinformation and baseless conspiracy theories," said Yosef Getachew, the media and democracy program director at Common Cause, a government watchdog group.

"This is a welcome change but long overdue."

Getachew added: "We hope those remaining small pay-tv providers and streaming services still carrying OAN will follow suit and deprive the outlet of any platform to spread harmful conspiracy theories that have...

Insider: Republicans’ next big play is to ‘scare the hell out of Washington’ by rewriting the Constitution. And they’re willing to play the long game to win.

"It's the first time any of these applications have had this much movement in quite some time," Viki Harrison, director of Constitutional Convention and Protecting Dissent Programs at Common Cause, told Insider. She called the passage of four new convention calls in states including South Carolina "a brutal loss." 
The prospect of a free-for-all convention has scared lawmakers away from other historic efforts to rewrite the nation's Constitution, fearing that a debate on imposing term limits or a balanced budget could quickly morph...

United Press International: Net neutrality bill unveiled to codify broadband Internet as essential service

Pro-democracy organization Common Cause said the unregulated Internet since 2017 has seen providers throttle popular video streaming services and degrade video quality to force customers to pay more for better quality, as well as create monopolist plans that favor its services over others.

"This approach also weakened the FCC's ability to ensure households remained connected during the height of the pandemic," Yosef Getachew, Common Cause media and democracy program director, said in a statement.

Common Cause soutient la loi sur la neutralité du Net et la justice en matière de haut débit

Today, Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA) along with 28 co-sponsors in the Senate and 26 co-sponsors in the House, introduced the Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act. This bill would codify the classification of broadband as a telecommunications service. The bill would also return authority to the Federal Communications Commission to oversee broadband providers and allow the agency to promulgate strong net neutrality rules. Common Cause has long believed that a free and open Internet...

Insider: Verizon inks multi-year agreement with Newsmax, the conservative network that continuously broadcasts conspiracy theories about the January 6 insurrection

Yosef Getachew, Media & Democracy program director at the watchdog group Common Cause, criticized that content-neutral approach, citing Newsmax's pattern of sharing false claims — not just from guests, but employees — about fraud in the 2020 election, which a judge recently concluded the network knew "were probably false" at the time they aired.

"Newsmax has amplified and aired content about the Big Lie, mischaracterized the January 6th insurrection, and is continuing to fuel election disinformation, which is damaging our...

TIME: Backers of the ‘Big Lie’ Are Trying to Run Local Elections. Democrats Are Finally Fighting Back

Running for local office isn’t easy. But whenever the going gets tough for Amanda Gonzalez, a Democratic candidate for Jefferson County (Colo.) Clerk and Recorder, she remembers the plot to overturn the 2020 election.

“When I’m downtrodden, when something isn’t going the way I thought it would, that is a huge part of my everyday thought,” says Gonzalez, 37. “There is a set of people who will actively try to undermine or destroy our democracy.”

As the executive director of Colorado Common Cause,...

Wisconsin Examiner (éditorial) : Le Wisconsin doit rejeter cette attaque ordonnée par Trump contre le vote et les élections équitables

Les républicains semblent avoir calculé avec cynisme que ces mesures de « sécurité du scrutin » visant à empêcher le vote pourraient nuire à certains de leurs propres électeurs, mais qu’elles empêcheraient davantage d’électeurs du Wisconsin susceptibles de voter pour leurs adversaires politiques. Les républicains ont ciblé les électeurs qui résident dans des zones urbaines comme Milwaukee, Madison, Racine et Green Bay. Ils ont également ciblé les étudiants des collèges et universités en rendant le vote plus difficile pour cette population, même avec une carte d’identité avec photo délivrée par l’université, que presque partout ailleurs dans le pays.

Boston Globe: Helping people discover their power through civic education

How does a community like Homewood, Pennsylvania, address the lead in the soil that’s harming children or the proliferation of vacant lots? Khalif Ali, executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania, a nonpartisan organization that serves as a watchdog against corruption and voter suppression for Pennsylvanians, says it starts with creating civically oriented spaces where people can learn about the democratic process and unite with others experiencing the same struggles.

He came to understand this long ago: His drive for...

“One America News Network will be left without a major carrier to spread its often harmful and dangerous disinformation and baseless conspiracy theories,” said Yosef Getachew, the media and democracy program director at Common Cause, a government watchdog group that urged Verizon to drop OAN. “This is a welcome change but long overdue.

“No company should profit from spreading content that endangers our democracy.”

Common Cause and other civil rights groups have pressured carriers to drop OAN.

Daily Beast: Cawthorn Campaign Illegally Spent Funds It Wasn’t Supposed to Touch

Beth Rotman, director of ethics at watchdog Common Cause, told The Daily Beast there’s a third option.

“In practice, many people may start spending this money in the primary and pay it back; it’s a risk, but it may not be uncommon,” Rotman said, pointing out that the Cawthorn campaign can raise money to pay down its debts. “He needs to make this right by fundraising, and a lot of rules require that he do that staying within contribution limits.”

VoteBeat/Texas Tribune: Right-wing group is quietly conducting review of 300,000 Tarrant County ballots from 2020 primary

Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas, a government watchdog group, said a ballot review such as the one in Tarrant County “elevates the narrative that election administrators are somehow not doing their jobs properly or even worse trying to sway elections.”

“It’s a really dangerous lie that is being sold to a lot of people and frankly, it’s putting election administrators in a lot of danger,” Gutierrez said. “It all stems from this lie of elections about our elections not being safe.”

La condamnation de Bannon montre que personne n'est au-dessus de la loi

Aucun Américain n'est au-dessus des lois, y compris les anciens présidents et leurs conseillers. Ce point est mis en évidence aujourd'hui par la condamnation de Steve Bannon pour outrage au Congrès après avoir défié les assignations à comparaître de la Commission du 6 janvier.
