Friend,
Donald Trump is building a judiciary that will not defend the Constitution – it will dismantle it.
We’ve already seen how his regime treats fundamental freedoms. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller openly vowed to “destroy left-wing NGOs” – a threat aimed at silencing organized opposition and crippling the groups that challenge Trump’s power. Around the same time, Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi threatened to use the Justice Department to “target people who engage in hate speech,” a deliberately vague mandate that could sweep up activists, journalists, or ordinary Americans exercising their right to protest.[1,2]
These are not isolated comments. They are part of a chilling pattern: a government openly preparing to criminalize dissent and weaponize tragedy in order to further consolidate power. And if Trump continues filling the courts with his handpicked loyalists, these threats will no longer be rhetoric. They will be brutally real.

The judiciary is supposed to be the safeguard when political leaders overreach. But Trump is determined to capture it – transforming the very institution designed to check his power into the tool he uses to cement it. With his nominees on the bench, free speech and assembly, long protected by the First Amendment and enforced by the courts, would be trampled in service of his agenda.
That is why this moment demands national resistance. The Senate cannot allow Trump’s judges to take the bench. Every confirmation is not just another seat filled – it is another blow to the rights and freedoms we are fighting to preserve.
Add your name today: Stop Trump’s judicial takeover! >>
If we lose this fight, the courts will not protect us – they will be used against us. Every protest, every organizing effort, every attempt to speak out could be met with a gavel that sides with Trump instead of the Constitution. But if we act together, we can stop this before it’s locked in for a generation. The Senate must hear us – loud and clear. We must be relentless.
Because the stakes are very real. It’s about whether the courts remain a safeguard for freedom – or become part of the arsenal used to destroy it.
