Federal #judges who have ruled against the #Trump admin this year are confronting a wave of threats, compromising their safety & the #independence of the #judiciary.

The sister of #SCOTUS Justice #AmyConeyBarrett received a bomb threat earlier this month, & lower court judges who paused some of Trump's efforts to dismantle #FederalAgencies & programs have been targeted.

>6 weeks into the 2nd #Trump admin, there is a chill spreading over political debate [#speech] in Washington & beyond.

People on both sides of the aisle who would normally be part of the public dialogue about the big issues of the day say they are intimidated by the prospect of online attacks from #Trump & #ElonMusk, concerned about harm to their companies & frightened for the #safety of their #families.

…Federal courts are hearing >100 lawsuits challenging the admin’s initiatives, many of them focused on efforts driven by #Musk & his team at #DOGE to purge hundreds of thousands of #FederalWorkers & dramatically scale back govt #aid & #regulatory programs.

#Trump & his WH press sec also have criticized judges they describe as activists who have issued orders that slowed or blocked some of those efforts.

#Musk, the world's richest person, has lambasted judges in more than 30 posts since the end of Jan on his social media site, calling them “corrupt,” “radical,” “evil” & deriding the "TYRANNY of the JUDICIARY" after judges blocked parts of the federal downsizing that he’s led. Musk has also reposted nearly two dozen tweets by others attacking judges.

"Senate and House Republicans know Trump will orchestrate the running of a primary challenger backed by Elon Musk’s unlimited resources if a member defies him. But this is not the whole story of Republican subservience to the president. In private, Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions.

“They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff,” a former member of Trump’s first administration tells me.
According to one source with direct knowledge of the events, North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about “credible death threats” when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary. Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm the former Fox & Friends host to lead the Pentagon. According to the source, Tillis has said that if people want to understand Trump, they should read the 2006 book Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work."
