Over a few short years, Melinda French Gates’s public profile has evolved from the studiously nonpartisan co-leader of a global philanthropy to an “ascendant Democratic megadonor.” The change coincides with her greater independence, having divorced Bill Gates and left the foundation they both led, as well as the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. French Gates also credits her children with raising her political consciousness, while one activist for paid family leave, with whom French Gates has worked, said it also stems from the billionaire’s realization that some of the problems she wants to solve are political, requiring political solutions.

Groups working to register Latino voters say they are being trailed, filmed, and harassed by conservative activists who claim they are illegally registering non-citizens. They have not reported any violence, but one group is training its canvassers in de-escalation tactics and some are advising them “to scrub their public social media profiles and avoid posting photos showing their location in real time.” Voting by non-citizens is exceedingly rare. One elections expert called the conservative efforts “a political stunt designed to inflame,” but conservative activists say they are trying to expose flaws in the voter-registration process.
