The Secret Alliance Fueling Trump - Democracy Docket [View all]
One year into Donald Trump’s second term, Marc Elias exposes the collapse of democratic guardrails as big law firms, legacy media, corporate elites, and government institutions capitulate, collaborate, or stay silent while voting rights, elections, and the rule of law come under sustained attack.
He explains how voter data lawsuits, political prosecutions, media capture, and institutional failure threaten free and fair elections—and why democracy’s survival now depends on grassroots activism, independent media, nonprofit legal organizations, state and local leaders, and a growing pro-democracy opposition movement. - 01/17/2026.
