Senate GOP Strips Contempt Provision From Tax Bill — But Still Lets Trump Be King They took language out of the House GOP's "big, beautiful bill" that limited courts' powers, but now want to price people out of being able to sue the government at all.

As Trump pushes whirlwind agenda, DOJ is challenged to defend his orders in court As Donald Trump presses his breakneck effort to remake the government, the flurry of lawsuits pushing back have seemingly overwhelming the lawyers defending his orders.

DOJ lawyers have lied in court and can't answer basic questions: "DOJ attorneys have been rebuked by judges of all stripes... you've seen pushback from Reagan appointees, you've seen pushback from Bush appointees, you've seen pushback from Obama appointees and Trump appointees and Biden appointees"

The United States Judiciary and Democratic Backsliding: Perspectives on the Role of Courts in Autocratic Governments Please join the Center for American Progress and Court Accountability for a virtual event that will focus on the connection between courts and authoritarian movements at home and around the world. History shows that when the courts fall, liberal democracy is soon to follow, and with the Supreme Court’s recent anti-democratic turn, now is the appropriate time to have this important conversation.The event will feature a presentation by CAP Senior Fellow Michael Podhorzer on the impacts of judicial rulings on American democracy. The first panel, “Autocratic Capture of the Judiciary,” will feature leading legal scholars addressing the current role of U.S. courts in advancing domestic anti-democratic movements and backsliding democracy. The second panel, “Global Perspectives on Courts and Autocratic Governments,” will include historians and experts on the global rise of authoritarianism discussing parallels to the fall of democracy around the world and the actions of the current Supreme Court.

Looking forward to attending this webinar on the courts and their role in our democracy with @americanprogress.bsky.social and @mikepod.bsky.social - still time to RSVP if you haven't!

Americans Pass Judgment on Their Courts Between 2020 and 2024, Americans' confidence in the U.S. judicial system and courts declined by 24 percentage points, one of the largest country-level drops for the courts measured globally since 2006...

"Few countries and territories have seen larger percentage-point drops in confidence in the judiciary than the U.S. These include Myanmar overlapping the return to military rule, Venezuela amid deep economic and political turmoil, and Syria in the runup to and early years of civil war."

Want to tell @schumer.senate.gov and your senator to schedule votes on the four circuit court nominees still awaiting action? Use Lena's link here to send them an email.

And then call them at 202-224-3121 and tell them again!

We can't leave a single nominee behind!

Opinion | The Senate Should Leave No Judgeship Unfilled (Gift Article) Donald Trump will try to fill every judgeship that Democrats leave open.

The Senate should do what it takes to confirm qualified and fair-minded judges!
