Alam ni Donald Trump na natalo siya sa halalan noong 2020, ngunit ayaw niyang umalis sa White House at aminin sa publiko ang kanyang pagkatalo kaya nagsinungaling siya. Nagsinungaling siya at paulit-ulit niyang sinubukang pilitin ang Kagawaran ng Hustisya ng US na i-back up ang mga kasinungalingang iyon at "ipaubaya ang iba sa kanya." Hinihiling niya sa kanyang mga napiling matataas na opisyal ng DOJ na lumahok sa isang kriminal na pagsasabwatan na inayos ni Trump at ng kanyang mga alipores na sa puso nito ay walang kulang sa isang kudeta upang iligal na agawin ang kapangyarihan at ibagsak ang kalooban at boto ng mga mamamayang Amerikano.

Today, redistricting experts from Common Cause and Southern Coalition for Social Justice’s briefed the media on the state-level victories in the fight to secure fair maps and protect voting rights.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and the House Republican Conference had a simple choice. They could side with democracy and common decency, or they could embrace racism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-immigrant, hate, violence, and the untethered conspiracy theories spewed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). McCarthy and his cohorts should have been voting to expel Rep. Greene from Congress altogether, but instead they refused to even strip her of her committee assignments as the conference once did with former Rep. Steve...

The nation deserved far better than Donald Trump in the White House these last four, very long years. In his final day as President, Donald Trump only continued to show his disregard for our democratic process. Overnight, he pardoned a laundry list of corrupt and convicted politicians, political fundraisers, and rich private citizens, along with still more of his inner circle. The number of Trump’s close political advisers who have been pardoned is staggering. They all join the parade of disgraced Americans and war criminals who were earlier...

Yesterday, Senate Republicans removed a measure from the intelligence bill that would have required presidential campaigns to report attempts or offers of foreign election interference to federal authorities and then defended President Trump’s excuses and refusal to act on U.S. intelligence reports that Russia has been paying bounties to Taliban militants to kill U.S. Troops. The so called “Duty to report” provision on foreign election interference, was passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee with bipartisan support in June but was...

The escalating abuse of presidential powers and continued stonewalling by the White House have necessitated the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry by the House of Representatives and Common Cause continues to support such an investigation. Americans deserve to know the truth whether President Trump has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, as well as abuses of power. And as Americans we deserve the system of co-equal branches of government enshrined in the United States Constitution. A formal impeachment investigation is required to...

Whether Scott Pruitt resigned or was forced out, he had repeatedly shown himself unworthy of the office and he had to go. Pruitt's tenure has been a long, unbroken string of ethical lapses, maladministration, and relentless attacks on the environment he was charged with protecting. A cascade of investigations into his abuse of taxpayer funds, hiding his schedule, sweetheart apartment lease deals, and first-class flights made a mockery of public service. This partial litany of his scandals -- unearthed by environmental groups, watchdogs, and...

Pahayag ni Michael Copps na dating FCC Commissioner at Common Cause Special Adviser

Ang pinakabagong plano ni Sinclair na pilitin ang mga lokal na istasyon nito na ipalabas ang mga dapat tumakbong segment na tumutuligsa sa iba pang mga outlet ng balita ay isa pang halimbawa ng kumpanyang nagtatago ng editoryal na nilalaman nito sa mga pinagkakatiwalaang lokal na broadcaster. Ang tweet ni Pangulong Trump na nagpapawalang-bisa sa pagsalungat sa pagsira ni Sinclair sa mga lokal na balita ay nagpapakita kung gaano ginagamit ng malaking media ang pera at kapangyarihan nito upang maimpluwensyahan ang ating mga halal na opisyal.

If these e-mails are not a hoax, they are the smoking gun showing that Donald Trump Jr. illegally solicited a contribution from a foreign national—in the form of opposition research against Hillary Clinton—as our complaints yesterday alleged.
