- The Supreme Court didn't issue any opinions on major democracy cases this week — but the decisions that will shape our country's future are coming. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the three biggest cases on the docket: RNC v. Watson, which could ban states from counting mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day; NRSC v. FEC, a campaign finance case Marc personally argued before the court; and Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case, which has sweeping implications for voter ID.

That is, unless you’re a Republican state. Marc Elias breaks down the contradictory nature of the Supreme Court when it comes to using Purcell, and what this means for the redistricting fight ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

In this Democracy Docket panel, Marc Elias is joined by Damon Hewitt, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law; Leah Litman, University of Michigan law professor and co-host of Strict Scrutiny; and Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.

- 🧠 Violent words, convenient amnesia.
After shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, the White House is attempting to pin the blame for repeated assassination plots against President Donald Trump on elected Democrats, members of the media and political commentators.
Since a gunman shot a federal officer at a hotel in D.C. where Trump was hosting the dinner, prominent figures on the right — including sitting members of Congress and people with close ties to the White House — have called for a crackdown on the political left.
Leavitt’s remarks from the White House podium amplified those calls, but conveniently ignored the fact that Trump’s history of regularly using inciting and violent rhetoric against his political opponents.
