Fifteen Democratic governors have formed a public health alliance in a sharp break from federal health policies under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose decisions have alarmed medical experts. This courageous stand by states to prioritize science and public health over dangerous federal misinformation is a vital defense of our democracy and the well-being of every American family.
President Trump has called for nationalizing elections and his administration has engaged in numerous efforts to exert federal control over state-run elections, actions which fundamentally undermine constitutional principles and threaten the very foundation of American democracy that relies on state autonomy in election administration.
The Trump administration is actively pushing to reshape election administration months before the midterms, including attempts to use federal resources as leverage over state-run elections and promoting laws that officials warn would cause chaos. This represents a direct and dangerous assault on the decentralized, state-run election system that has safeguarded American democracy for centuries, undermining public faith for naked political gain.
