John,

Senate Republicans passed what they are calling the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — a sweeping budget proposal that includes massive cuts to Medicare & Medicaid while giving trillions in tax breaks to billionaires.

But hidden in the thousand page bill is a single sentence that would destroy our judicial system in America:

If the provision would become law, it would restrict how federal judges can hold government officials or other litigants in contempt if they defy court-issued injunctions and restraining orders. Contempt is a critical mechanism that courts use to enforce their rulings. If our courts can’t enforce their rulings, Trump can then do whatever he wants without consequence.

The Trump administration is currently facing the threat of being held in contempt for defying court orders in several cases.

Trump has contempt for our constitution. He views separation of powers and check & balances as obstacles to his fascist ambitions — not as essential principles that hold our Democracy together. If unopposed, Trump will destroy our Democracy.

That’s why we are fighting back, starting in Pennsylvania where Trump and his MAGA allies aim to take down three democratic state Supreme Court judges in their 2025 retention election. The outcome of this battle determines whether or not swing state PA will ever have fair elections again.

PA law limits the ability of the democratic state Supreme Court justices to campaign — so we are stepping up in their stead. Can you chip in whatever you can spare to help Defend Our Courts & protect Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court majority?

We must hold Trump in contempt for his blatant attempts to dismantle our democracy.
