Friend, If you thought Donald Trump’s first-term judges were extreme, just wait. Because this time, Trump isn’t hiding his agenda. His judicial nominees won’t just be ultraconservative – they’ll be outright MAGA loyalists. Chosen specifically for their allegiance to him, not the Constitution. And the impact will last for decades. That’s why People For the American Way is ramping up our efforts to research, expose, and advocate against the most dangerous nominees. But we can’t do it without your support. Rush a donation now to help stop Trump’s MAGA judges. >> According to a recent Politico report, Trump has dismantled the traditional vetting process, promising to only nominate judges who meet his personal loyalty test – a process that’s now being shaped by his own legal team and closest political operatives, not the Senate or Justice Department.[1] We’re talking about judges who: – Don’t believe in the separation of powers – Won’t enforce checks on Trump’s authority – Will greenlight his crackdown on dissent, press freedom, and civil rights We’ve made fighting far-right judicial takeovers a core focus of our mission for decades – and we’ve helped stop some of the worst nominees before. But what we’re facing now is even more dangerous. Trump isn’t just stacking the courts with conservative ideologues – he’s planning to install loyalists who will put his political agenda and personal grudges above the Constitution. Chip in now to power our work to block Trump’s MAGA bench takeover! >> With Republicans controlling the Senate, Trump’s nominees will face little resistance unless we act. That means we must expose their records and extremist views before they ever reach a confirmation hearing – in the media, online, and directly to the Senators who need to hear it most. That’s where People For comes in. Our in-depth research on judicial nominees is trusted by Congressional staff, advocacy coalitions, and legal experts who rely on us to surface the facts, highlight red flags, and shine a spotlight on the stakes. We’re already tracking names, building opposition reports, and laying the groundwork for the fights ahead. But we can’t keep doing this at the level required without grassroots support from people like you. Make your donation now to defend our courts from MAGA capture. >> We knew Trump would be dangerous in a second term. But this? It’s a direct threat to the rule of law and the checks and balances that protect all of us. Thanks for fighting alongside us, – People For the American Way
