Tracking every rollback, reversal, and overreach — and the path back to the America we know.
A federal judge permanently blocked the Trump administration's executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote, ruling the president exceeded constitutional authority over federal elections. District Court Judge Denise Casper sided with 19 states that challenged the mandate. The ruling prevents implementation of a policy that would have fundamentally altered voting eligibility requirements nationwide.
The Trump administration filed a lawsuit demanding Rhode Island's unredacted voter rolls. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit, rejecting the DOJ's demand for detailed voter information. The ruling protects voter privacy and prevents the administration from accessing sensitive state voting data.
A federal judge blocked Trump-era restrictions that prevented faculty at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point from speaking to external groups without permission. U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel ruled the policy likely violates civilian professors' First Amendment free speech rights. The decision protects the speech rights of non-military faculty members at the institution.
A federal judge overturned a White House memo that had rejected compliance with the Presidential Records Act, which mandates preservation of all official presidential documents. The ruling requires White House officials to follow the 1978 law governing the handling and retention of presidential records. This decision restores legal obligations that the Trump administration had attempted to circumvent regarding document preservation.
A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration's Justice Department lawsuit seeking access to Arizona's detailed voter rolls. The ruling blocked the government's attempt to obtain extensive voter information ahead of the midterm elections. This legal setback prevents the administration from accessing sensitive voter data that could have been used for the nationwide effort to compile voter information.
