Trump is seizing power and our democracy is on the line
John,
While Donald Trump is escalating military actions in Venezuela, the Supreme Court is quietly giving him the green light to consolidate even more unchecked power at home.
Conservative justices appear ready to overturn a 90-year-old precedent that protects independent federal agencies from political interference.
If they rule in Trump’s favor, he could fire Federal Trade Commission Democrats — and potentially other independent regulators — at will.
Former FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a Democrat, was unlawfully removed in March after standing up to Trump.
The court is now deciding whether a president can simply dismiss nonpartisan experts tasked with protecting Americans from corporate abuse, economic harm, and fraud.
The implications are staggering: unchecked presidential power over independent agencies threatens everything from consumer protections to fair markets — all while Trump pursues foreign operations with little oversight.
Congress has long established independent agencies to safeguard the public interest. If the court sides with Trump, it would mark a historic erosion of checks and balances — leaving Americans at the mercy of a single, partisan leader.
Every dollar helps us hold these fights in the courts, in Congress, and in the public eye. Act before it’s too late.
