NEW: SCOTUS’ new term begins Monday, giving it a chance to further erode voter access and the power of minority voters. AFJ’s Rachel Rossi highlights key cases — from Louisiana redistricting to mail-in ballots laws — that could undermine democracy. democracydocket.com/opinion/the-su…
A federal judge ruled Trump’s targeting of pro-Palestinian student activists violates the First Amendment, and affirmed the government “simply cannot seek retribution for speech he disdains” as it “poses a great threat to Americans’ freedom of speech.”

SCOTUS allows Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to keep her job until it hears a case in January on Trump’s effort to remove her. The Court ruled that Trump couldn’t fire Fed governors because the Reserve “is a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity.” democracydocket.com/news-alerts/sc…
A judge ruled that Trump loyalist Sigal Chattah has been unlawfully serving as Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Nevada, marking the second time a court has struck down the administration’s efforts to keep loyalists in power without Senate approval. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/fe…
🚨 LIVE FROM TEXAS: Democracy Docket is reporting from El Paso as a federal court decides if Texas can use its new congressional map in next year’s election. At stake is minority communities’ voting strength – and perhaps the balance of power in Congress.

"Constitutional" sheriffs, though failing to alter election outcomes, paved the way for other Trumpian tactics that erode trust in voting and endanger voters for exercising their right to vote. The good news? We now know how to prepare for the challenge. democracydocket.com/opinion/consti…
❌ LOSS: A South Carolina court denied a voter's request to temporarily block the state from sharing voter data with the DOJ, ruling the state's "right to privacy" does not cover data sharing between state and federal authorities for election security. democracydocket.com/cases/south-ca…

NEW: SCOTUS rules Fed Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can keep her job, stating that the Reserve's "uniquely structured, quasi-private entity" status bars her removal. Cook will remain until the Court hears oral argument on Trump's removal efforts in January. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/sc…
Advocacy groups sued to block the Trump administration from creating a centralized database of Americans’ personal information for purging voter rolls, arguing doing so exceeds their legal authority and violates the Constitution’s separation of powers. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/tr…
Trump told U.S. top military officials that we’re "under invasion from within" and it was time to turn the armed forces inward. A senior defense analyst said these remarks were concerning because they were directed at those most likely to stand in his way. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/tr…
