After waiting until the last possible second, the MAGA-packed Supreme Court ruled that Trump is immune from prosecution for his official acts. Today’s shocking 6-3 ruling takes a sledgehammer to our democracy by placing presidents above the law. It also means that Trump’s federal trial will be delayed until long after the election—if it ever happens at all. This is what decades of extremist scheming and stealing multiple Supreme Court seats buys you. Trump’s bet that his handpicked justices would come to his rescue more than paid off. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor writes in her dissent: “The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.” In just the last four days, the Supreme Court has criminalized homelessness, sided with insurrectionists, and attacked environmental protections. Today’s decision made it clearer than ever: we must defeat Trump at the ballot box to stop him from appointing more judges and elect more lawmakers who are willing to use their power to fix this broken Court. Thanks for all that you do. Sami & Chloe
