Friend,

The week ahead could be one of the most dangerous yet for the independence
of our federal courts.

Senate Republicans are escalating their coordinated assault on the
judiciary – moving to confirm and hold hearings on Trump’s judicial
nominees picked for their loyalty to Trump, not the law and advancing
legislation that would gut the power of judges to stop unlawful government
actions. It’s a multi-pronged effort to strip the courts of their
independence and authority and help Trump consolidate power.

Next week, the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on Trump’s
first slate of judicial nominees – while holding another hearing to
advance even more. At the same time, the full Senate could move forward on
the Republican budget bill, which includes a dangerous provision that
would make it harder for judges to issue injunctions unless plaintiffs can
post a prohibitively expensive bond.

This is a coordinated effort to undermine access to justice from our
courts while empowering Trump.

Let’s be absolutely clear: the Senate should not be confirming any of
Trump’s judicial nominees. Not while his administration is openly hostile
to judicial independence. Certainly not while he and his cronies continue
to smear judges who rule against him. And not while Republicans are trying
to gut the courts’ ability to check unlawful government actions.

Federal judges have ruled against Trump’s administration in case after
case – not out of partisanship, but because his actions are unlawful.
That’s how our system is supposed to work. But instead of respecting those
rulings, Trump and his MAGA allies are responding with threats, defiance,
and legislation aimed at dismantling judicial authority.

One provision buried in the Republican budget bill would block judges from
issuing preliminary injunctions or temporary restraining orders unless
plaintiffs can afford to post a large bond – a move that would silence
impacted communities and tip the scales of justice toward the powerful and
well-connected.

This is a direct attack on all Americans’ access to justice – and it’s
happening right now.

the federal judiciary. >>

This moment demands action. Trump and Senate Republicans are trying to
reshape the judiciary into a tool of unchecked executive power – and we
cannot let them succeed.

We’re briefing senators. Organizing resistance. Mobilizing supporters
nationwide. But to keep up the fight, we need your support.

[ [link removed] ]Make your voice heard. Chip in now to stop the confirmation of Trump’s
judges and protect the independence of our courts. >>

Thank you for being part of this fight,

People For the American Way
