John,
A divided panel on the Ninth Circuit, stacked with Trump appointees, just ruled that Trump can deploy National Guard troops into Portland against the will of local leaders and the people who live there.
Let’s call it what it is: a dangerous escalation of Trump’s authoritarian playbook — and his judges are helping him write it.
We cannot let him get away with this. If that’s all you need to hear, will you chip in $5 to Demand Justice today and join the fight?

Trump has been sending troops to invade cities like Portland as part of a fear-mongering “crime crackdown” — a baseless stunt to scare communities and score political points. A lower court judge blocked this abuse of power, but now, Trump’s judges on the Appellate Court have stepped in to hand him exactly what he wanted: the power to use the military to intimidate Americans on our own streets.
One Trump judge went even further — arguing that the courts shouldn’t even be allowed to review the President’s actions. In other words, Trump could use the military against civilians without anyone being able to stop him.
That’s not democracy. That’s authoritarianism.
This isn’t just about Portland. It’s a blatant attempt to further corrupt our system of checks and balances — harming people across the country — and to curry favor with Trump in case a Supreme Court vacancy opens up. They’re not just protecting Trump’s power. They’re auditioning for a promotion.
Americans deserve better. And this is exactly why Demand Justice exists — to expose how Trump and his cronies have weaponized the courts and to build the movement to stop it.
Will you rush a $5 donation now to fight Trump’s judicial takeover? We can’t let them turn our courts into instruments of fear and political loyalty.
