In an era of heightened political polarization, recent revelations have shed light on the Democratic Party’s behind-the-scenes efforts to counter President Trump’s administration through a mix of covert strategies and legal maneuvers. Documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request have exposed a 126-page playbook that outlines how Democratic governors, shadowy liberal groups, and unelected operatives are working in tandem to resist federal policies. This coordinated effort raises serious questions about accountability, transparency, and the true power dynamics within the Democratic Party.
At the center of this operation is the Governors Action Alliance (GovAct), a coalition co-chaired by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Colorado Governor Jared Polis. GovAct’s stated mission is to “fortify democratic institutions,” but its methods suggest a more aggressive agenda. The playbook reportedly includes pre-drafted executive orders designed to obstruct federal immigration enforcement and other Trump administration policies. Julia Spiegel, GovAct’s CEO, appears to be a key figure in this effort, directing governors to implement measures that effectively block cooperation with federal authorities. For conservatives, this represents a troubling overreach by unelected officials who are shaping policy without voter input. Sauce

In September 2024, GovAct received $500,000 in funding from Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund. GovAct is a project of Global Impact.
