During Trump I, the courts played a key role in constraining the radical Right. But that was a different judiciary. Several federal courts are in the hands of Trumpists. And most importantly, Trump can now count on a hard-right 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court - a game changer.

Amber Thurman was 28 years old. She loved being a mom to her six-year-old boy.
Her last words to her own mother: "“Promise me you’ll take care of my son.”
Her son will grow up without his mom because of Donald Trump's Dobbs' decision and Georgia's MAGA abortion ban.
BREAKING: A medical committee just confirmed the first officially-deemed “preventable” abortion-related death since Dobbs.
The post-Roe reality is very, very real—and dangerous.

“In a punchy statement after Trump appeared on Fox News, the Harris campaign listed as one of the main takeaways: ‘Trump is old and quite weird.’ The conjunction of these two qualities implies that what is truly strange is not just Trump’s chronological age but the anachronistic vision in which only white men who plant their seed in fertile women are authentic citizens and legitimate rulers. Against that weirdness, we have the real possibility of a president whose history is synchronized with American reality.”
