"We need to be ready to defend the vote because the most insidious thing he's doing is undermining confidence in the entire process." — 58 former federal judges from across the political spectrum are sounding the alarm over the threat to the Constitution and rule of law they believe Donald Trump poses.

Trump's policies are "costing us more money, polluting our air, polluting our water, and making us less safe," says Pete Maysmith, president of the League of Conservation Voters. Trump promised to cut Americans' energy bills in half. Instead, they've gone up 18% since he returned to office.
