Trump says he’ll sign an executive order that seeks to ban mail-in voting. Texas Republicans are working to suppress Democratic districts. This is a direct threat to our democracy.

Friend,

Donald Trump just told us exactly what he plans to do: suppress the vote and control the outcome.

In a post today on Truth Social, Trump announced he intends to sign an executive order that seeks to ban mail-in voting nationwide. He says states should take orders from the President on how elections are run. And he says Vladimir Putin – the authoritarian leader of Russia – told him during their summit in Alaska last week that mail-in voting “rigged” the 2020 election.[1]

This isn’t a campaign strategy. It’s an attack on democracy.

We’ve seen this before. Trump’s goal has never been to expand participation – it’s to narrow the electorate until only his supporters remain. His targets are always the same: Black voters, Brown voters, young voters, and working-class Americans who dare to vote against him.

And while Trump is preparing this assault from the top, Texas Republicans are leading the ground game. They’re moving to pass a new gerrymandered congressional map this week that would eliminate five Democratic seats ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Suppress the vote. Redraw the maps. Lock in minority rule.

Pitch in now to help us organize voters and expose this plan in key states >>

Let’s not forget: these are the same Republicans who shouted about “federal takeovers” of elections when Congress tried to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Now they’re standing by silently as Trump demands total federal control of how ballots are cast and counted.

The hypocrisy is blatant. The threat is real. And the timeline is short.

We are mobilizing voters, sounding the alarm, and applying pressure wherever we can – but we can’t do it without you.
