Summary

It's no secret that Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have been doing everything they can to damage and degrade the Department of Justice, and to destroy the DOJ's legitimacy in the eyes of the American people.

Even beyond that, the Trump administration has been determined to put federal employees "in trauma." Indeed, those are the words of the person Trump picked to be his OMB Director, Russell Vought.

Fortunately, there is an organization fighting against the destruction of the Department of Justice and the mistreatment of DOJ employees. That organization is Justice Connection.

The Mission of Justice Connection:

"Justice Connection is a network of DOJ alumni who are standing up for the rule of law and protecting our former colleagues who’ve been targeted by this administration.

We’re providing current and recent DOJ employees with direct and free support, including:

Legal representation through the Justice Connection Legal Network
Mental health assistance
Whistleblowing support
Media training and other help for alumni who want to join us in speaking out

Justice Connection has also become the leading voice delivering the message that the assault on the DOJ makes Americans more vulnerable to violent crime, corruption, climate change, civil rights violations, and terrorism – while eroding the foundation of our democracy."

Glenn sat down with the founder of Justice Connection, Stacey Young, for a deep-dive discussion about the vitally important and timely work of her organization.

0:31.0	right-wing fundamentalists on TV and think, Jesus Christ, these people are the opposite of Jesus
0:36.9	Christ? You know, Christianity was
0:38.9	supposed to be about love and service, but millions of Americans have grown up to find their
0:43.3	nice religions been hijacked by this mean authoritarian, tax-free click. I wrote a book about
0:49.2	how these right-wingers aren't actually on the side of Jesus, and historically, they never have
