Trump Fundraising Email Pushes Judge’s Impeachment

What Happened: A Trump campaign fundraising email called for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, labeling him a “Radical Left Judge” appointed by Barack Obama—a lie. The email encouraged supporters to contribute to Trump’s National Committee JFC to “respond to Trump.”

Why It Matters: Trump and Musk have escalated attacks on the judiciary, threatening judicial independence. This further highlights Trump’s authoritarian tendencies and his push to remove the last checks on his power.

Musk Escalates Calls to Impeach Judges Who Rule Against Trump

What Happened: Musk posted 17 times in 24 hours calling for the impeachment of judges who rule against Trump. Musk baselessly claimed that the legal system is being “abused by activists pretending to be judges” and falsely referred to a judge’s ruling against Trump as “a judicial coup.”

Why It Matters: Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare rebuke of Trump, stating that judicial impeachment is not a tool for punishing legal decisions. Despite this, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller confirmed that Trump will not back down from his impeachment threats.

Former Judge Warns Trump’s Defiance of Courts Is a Constitutional Crisis

What Happened: Conservative ex-judge J. Michael Luttig said Trump has "declared war on the rule of law" by defying a judge’s order to halt deportations. Trump also called for Judge James Boasberg’s impeachment after he blocked the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for mass deportations.

Why It Matters: This is an assault on the rule of law. Experts warn it’s a direct challenge to the U.S. legal system, undermining judicial independence and setting a dangerous precedent for political interference in the courts.
