#Threats against #judges & their #families “are ultimately threats to constitutional government. It’s as simple as that,”US Circuit Judge Richard Sullivan, chair of a #security cmte for the federal #judiciary’s policy arm, said.
The judiciary has emerged as a powerful constraint on a range of #Trump’s initiatives, from dismantling #FederalAgencies to #deporting migrants & targeting #LawFirms. As Trump defies court orders, #legal scholars warn the country may already be in a #ConstitutionalCrisis

As #Trump & his allies call for #judges to be impeached or attack them as “radical left” political foes, the #families of judges are being singled out for #harassment.

Since Trump returned to power, at least 60 judges or appeals courts have slowed or blocked some of his admin’s initiatives. Reuters spoke w/ 12 federal judges who raised concerns about the #security of their own families or of the relatives of colleagues handling Trump-related cases.

These #judges ruled against #Trump. Then their #families came under attack.

As federal judges rule against the Trump administration in dozens of politically charged cases, the families of at least 11 of the jurists have been targeted with #threats & #harassment.

"The Trump administration could gut research on the effectiveness of child welfare programs, with plans to terminate dozens of university grants studying improvements to Head Start and child care policy, according to a spreadsheet mistakenly made public this week.

The document listed more than 150 research projects under consideration for termination by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."

Read #Trump's #budget proposal & its cover letter by #OMB director / #Project2025 architect #RussVought.

#Senate Democratic Leader #ChuckSchumer (NY) on Friday called Trump’s 2026 budget a “gut punch” to #families.

The budget proposes a $163 billion cut to federal spending next year, which would eliminate more than a fifth of the non-military spending excluding mandatory benefit programs.

Some #Trump admin leaders have already begun enacting policies that promote larger #families. Most notably, Transportation Secy Sean Duffy—who is a father of 9 & has 10 siblings—published a memo early this year pledging to prioritize #funding in areas w/higher than average birth & marriage rates. Several analysts within the dept say the policy could result in less money for large, urban transit, & more for highways & car-share services in rural areas [white suburbs].

Much of the movement is built around *promoting* [dictating] a very specific idea of what constitutes a #family — one that includes #marriage between a #man & a #woman, & leaves out many #families that don’t conform to traditional #gender roles or family structures. In contrast to the intense emphasis on cost cutting so far during #Trump’s second term, this focus on families could result in spending more money to back a *new* set of priorities.
