Power for the Few, at the Expense of the Many
Donald Trump and his allies are using the power of government to enrich themselves, protect their billionaire friends, and reward corporate backers—while leaving working people behind. At Accountable.US, we track how corruption and self-dealing undermine the promises made to everyday Americans.
Courts in the Crosshairs
In his first term, Trump and the conservative legal movement set out to capture the courts, installing judges who would advance an extreme agenda. Now, with a Supreme Court supermajority and dozens of loyalists on the bench, they’re relying on these judges to greenlight unconstitutional actions and protect corruption from accountability.
A Judiciary Tilted Against the Public
Courts have long been considered a safeguard for the rule of law. But today, many have been warped into tools of partisanship—dominated by MAGA-aligned judges more interested in ideology than fairness. Instead of serving as a check on power, the judiciary is being used to cement it.
What We’re Doing
Accountable.US investigates corruption and conflicts of interest across the judiciary—federal and state alike. We examine Trump’s judicial nominees, expose coordinated tactics like judge shopping, and push for reforms that put the courts back on the side of the people, not political insiders.
Because a captured court isn’t just a legal problem—it’s a threat to our democracy.
