Can The Justice System Rescue America's Democracy From Trump?
April 27, 2025
|The Sunday Guardian
Trump's unchecked power, Supreme Court immunity, and GOP fear risk transforming American democracy into autocracy. Justice system must respond urgently.
During her failed presidential campaign last year, the hapless Vice President Kamala Harris, who unexpectedly found herself the Democratic presidential candidate following President Joe Biden's bumbling departure, made a number of dire warnings about the threats Donald Trump posed to America's democracy. Repeatedly, she denounced Trump as a "wannabe dictator obsessed with revenge" seeking unchecked power. "Moderating guardrails," she warned, "would be removed in a second Trump presidency and he would run riot". How prescient were these remarks, borne out by recent events.
In many ways, Donald Trump is following the classic playbook for authoritarians. Autocrats hate having people around them who know what they are doing. Incompetent sycophants are just perfect, especially if they're arrogant, ignorant and extremely loyal, characteristics of the majority of Trump's current team. The Donald is only willing and prepared to listen to those who continually praise him and tell him exactly how right he is, every time about everything. Cabinet meetings have become worship sessions. Trump has long said that the biggest mistake he made during his first term was hiring what he considered to be the wrong sort of people, in other words experienced advisors who were expert in their field. Now being a Trump loyalist is far more important than being experienced or even intelligent.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES
Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS
The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
