Really, the Democrat Machine in Washington and other Democrat states has been coordinating multi-state lawsuits against nearly ALL of Trump’s Executive Orders and Agency regulations. Since 2015 when Trump first ran for President, the Democrats have been throwing nets around everyone in his orbit, and filing lawsuits on a daily basis to thwart everything he has ever done. A huge number of lawyers are participating in these lawsuits (Lawfare), and they are well aware of every single Dem-appointed Federal judge who will be favorable to their efforts.
Here are some examples of what has been taking place in my state of Washington.

Washington Attorney General Refuses to Explain Redactions Under Public Records Act
August 26, 2026
The Washington State Attorney General’s Office is refusing to provide The Center Square an explanation for redacting a memo obtained through a public records request, which is required under the Public Records Act.
Washington Coalition for Open Government Secretary George Erb wrote in an email to The Center Square that “the statute you cite that requires agencies to identify the specific exemption they used for redacted information is pretty straightforward.”
The redacted memo is connected to a project started in early 2024 by almost two dozen state AGOs to sue Donald Trump. The plan launched at least seven months before Trump was elected president. State attorneys general have sued the Trump Administration nearly 100 times since January 2025. The Center Square has recently reported that the coordinated effort appears to be done under the name “Project for Federal Accountability.”
In late June, The Center Square obtained a memo through a public records request that was entirely redacted on the basis of attorney-client privilege, common interest or joint defense protection, which pertains to pending or active litigation.
After an appeal in July, the AGO released a partially redacted version revealing that it had been written by the Rule of Law Working Group and sent to the Project for Federal Accountability Steering Committee on July 15, 2024.
However, the rest of the memo’s content, including the subject, were left redacted except two footnotes referencing news articles about President Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to have the Department of Justice prosecute Hillary Clinton during his first presidential term.
On August 5 and the same day the partially redacted memo was obtained, The Center Square appealed the rest of the redactions, inquiring how the memo was attorney-client privileged, who were the members of the PFA Steering Committee and the Rule of Law Working Group were, and how they have an attorney-client privileged relationship.
On August 5, The Center Square received a letter from Chief Transparency Council Morgan Damerow in which he wrote “the redactions are marked as Attorney Work Product Privilege – Common Interest or Joint Defense Protection – RCW 42.56.290 identified by the code [2e]. I have reviewed the redactions but have not removed any redactions.”
That same day, The Center Square emailed the AGO Public Records Office requesting a brief explanation for the redactions as required under RCW 42.56.210(3).
“(3) Agency responses refusing, in whole or in part, inspection of any public record shall include a statement of the specific exemption authorizing the withholding of the record (or part) and a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the record withheld.”
The Center Square has yet to receive a reply despite repeated requests for a brief explanation.
Erb also referenced a Municipal Research and Services Center guide to the Public Records Act which states “If a record is redacted or withheld in its entirety, the agency needs to identify the specific statute(s) authorizing redaction or withholding and provide a brief explanation of how the exemption applies to the withheld record (RCW 42.56.210(3)). This identification is commonly done using an exemption log, but other methods are allowable as long as they meet the statutory requirement. This identification must provide sufficient explanatory information for requestors to determine whether the exemptions are properly invoked.”
Another Day, Another Lawsuit
Washington is co-leading a multi-state coalition that is suing the U.S. Postal Service to stop Trump from interfering in the midterms
Twenty-four states and the District of Columbia are asking a federal court to urgently block new United States Postal Service rules for mailing ballots that usurp state authority and are meant to rig the November 2026 general election in Republicans’ favor.
August 26, 2026
Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown and Secretary of State Steve Hobbs held an early morning news conference on Wednesday, August 26th, 2026, to announce their new lawsuit against the United States Postal Service
The States of Washington, California, Nevada, and Massachusetts announced this morning that they and a coalition of twenty other states have filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to enjoin the United States Postal Service from carrying out Donald Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional attempts to meddle in the forthcoming midterm election.
This new lawsuit is very timely and necessary because United States District Judge Indira Talwani just vacated the August 11th preliminary injunction in League of Women Voters et al v. Donald J. Trump et al barring USPS from starting to implement its new order pertaining to ballots sent to voters through the mail.
“The Constitution is clear: states control elections — not the president,” said Brown, who appeared at an early morning news conference with Secretary of State Steve Hobbs to announce the new litigation. “The U.S. Postal Service doesn’t have the authority to deny Washingtonians the ability to vote. We will protect the rule of law.”
“Instead of focusing our attention on preparing for the upcoming midterms, we are being forced to spend valuable time and resources defending our constitutional right to administer its own elections,” said Hobbs, who repeatedly emphasized that what USPS is being ordered to do by Trump isn’t just unconstitutional, it’s logistically impossible. “I appreciate Attorney General Brown’s partnership in standing with us to protect our authority and defend Washington’s free and fair elections.”
“Whether a qualified voter may vote by mail [also known as vote at home] is a question of state law, as is the question of whether a ballot will be accepted for processing and tabulation,” the states’ complaint says. “The Constitution is clear that States have the primary responsibility for regulating and administering elections, subject only to preemption by Congress — authority that expressly extends to the ‘manner’ of elections. Congress has not afforded USPS any authority whatsoever to set rules for federal elections or mail voting, even though Americans have cast ballots by mail for generations.”
“The Rule requires States to enroll every eligible mail voter with USPS and tasks USPS with compiling them into State-specific lists,” the complaint goes on to explain. “It further establishes design requirements for ballot mail envelopes, including the requirement to use trackable Intelligent Mail barcodes, and provides that USPS must pre-approve States’ ballot envelope designs. When election officials send ballot mail to voters missing from a State’s USPS list or use envelopes that do not comply with the new standards, USPS will not deliver those ballots [under the rule it has proposed].”
This above, EVEN AFTER THE US SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER CAN GO FORWARD! This AG who is supposed to work on behalf of Washington Citizens, is throwing bags of taxpayer money away constantly suing the Trump administration to stop all of his activities. They never give up, and ignore the issues that matter to us to concentrate on the TDS that drives them to oppose anything the duly elected President does.
Instead, they just file another lawsuit.
Thank goodness our AG is once again suing the other Washington — this time to ensure that there is absolutely no oversight by the Federal government on Federal highways into the qualifications of people driving huge 18 wheelers down our freeways…. Because, who needs oversight? what could go wrong?
More than one horrible traffic accident by a semi truck driven by non-English-speaking illegals have killed dozens of innocent Americans. Our state gave out CDLs to illegals, and is now suing the Feds to keep doing just that. The Democrats prefer illegal aliens to American citizens, even in Washington where they have huge majorities in both houses of the legislature and all state agencies.
Just more indications that the Democrats ruling Washington State care nothing for their constituents, just the illegals and NGOs and public-employee Unions who fund their campaigns.

Under the Article IV Section 4 guarantee that each state shall have a republican form of government, President Trump has his own independent and express power to do whatever is necessary to secure honest elections.
At the constitutional debates in New York, Alexander Hamilton gave a clear and concise definition of republicanism:
“The true principle of a republic is that the people shall choose who shall govern them. Representation is imperfect [republicanism is imperfect] in proportion as the current of popular favor is checked.”
The two most obvious and direct ways that the current popular favor can be blocked are by having insecure election systems that are vulnerable to vote fraud; and by weaponizing of the powers of government against would-be opposition candidates.
The states run all elections, local, state, and federal. Hence any state whose election processes are either intentionally or unnecessarily vulnerable to vote fraud, is in violation of the republican guarantee, and the president does not just have his own independent and express power to eliminate such violations of the republican guarantee, but he has a positive duty to eliminate them, and ensure that the guarantee is upheld.
To defeat all legal challenges to his election security measures, President Trump just needs to cite the Article IV section 4 guarantee of a republican form of government as his authority.
Democrat appointed lower court judges may balk, but SCOTUS will uphold the republican guarantee.
If President Trump neglects to cite this proper authority, he will very likely lose. Every effort should be made to make sure that the Trump administration’s lawyers understand this.
At present there is no indication that they do understand it, so please help spread the word.
