John,

Donald Trump has already started talking about running for a third term — something no president in American history has ever done.

Sound outrageous? It is. But here’s the chilling part: if Republicans seize control of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court this November, this could be the court that decides whether Trump’s authoritarian power grab holds up.



That’s why MAGA operatives are pouring tens of millions into Pennsylvania’s retention election for three Democratic justices. They know this is their chance to rig the rules, silence voters, and put loyalists in place to rubber-stamp Trump’s next moves.

It’s not just about abortion rights or gerrymandered maps — though those are on the line too. This is about the very foundation of our democracy: whether courts will stand up to Trump, or stand aside while he tramples precedent and rewrites history.

The frightening truth is that Trump doesn’t need Congress to achieve his third-term ambitions. He just needs judges willing to back him. And unless we stop MAGA from taking Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, he’ll get exactly that.

Defend Our Courts is working every day to alert voters, counter MAGA’s disinformation, and keep our justices on the bench. But with less than six weeks to go, we are being outspent on every front.



Can you rush $50, $25, or $10 today to block Trump’s “third term” court before it’s too late?
