After shots were fired at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Patrick Gaspard, president and CEO of CAP, issued the following statement: This shooting at the Trump political rally is a dark development for our country. We should all be relieved that former President Trump was not seriously harmed, and we mourn the death of a rally attendee.

About us
The Center for American Progress is a think tank dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action. We combine bold policy ideas with a modern communications platform to help shape the national debate, expose the hollowness of conservative governing philosophy, and challenge the media to cover the issues that truly matter. Our work builds upon progressive ideals put forth by such leaders as Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King. We draw from the great social movements of the 20th century—from labor rights and worker safety, to civil rights and women's suffrage. We translate those values into new ideas and action firmly rooted in the economic and political realities of the 21st century.

Today, in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Corner Post v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Subcommittee on Administrative Law, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust Ranking Member Lou Correa (D-CA) introduced the Corner Post Reversal Act. The legislation would reverse the harmful effects of the Supreme Court’s ruling by reestablishing a limit to when private interests and big corporations can challenge rules that protect consumers, the workforce, and the environment. In response, Devon Ombres, senior director for Courts and Legal Policy at the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement: https://lnkd.in/eAjk9Hie

Today, pro-democracy champions Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) introduced the Get Foreign Money Out of U.S. Elections Act. This important legislation would help protect democracy by stopping U.S. corporations from spending money to influence the outcomes of elections and ballot measures if those corporations are appreciably owned by foreign investors. Specifically, the legislation would close a dangerous loophole opened by the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. The Center for American Progress has engaged in this policy work at the federal, state, and local level to help ensure that corporate CEOs who are accountable to their foreign investors are no longer able to influence U.S. elections. Last year, Minnesota became the first state in the nation to enact such policy into law, and San Jose, California, the nation’s 13th-largest city, did as well. In response to the new legislation, Ben Olinsky, senior vice president for Structural Reform and Governance at CAP, issued the following statement: https://lnkd.in/dCCpgQwW
