"A global contest is escalating between democratic institutions governed by the rule of law and lawless dictators who seek to enrich themselves and their cronies. Here at home, President Trump's tariffs are driving up costs for families. Millions of Americans have lost their health insurance so that Republicans could fund tax breaks for rich people. ICE is sowing chaos and terror in our communities, resulting in the tragic killing of Renee Good in Minnesota."
"And Donald Trump's view of the First Amendment is that he gets to say whatever he wants, AND he gets to use the power of government to silence, extort, bankrupt, or even prosecute anyone who criticizes him. Acting like the wannabe dictator he is, Trump is trying to push out the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and complete his corrupt takeover of America's central bank - so it serves his interests, along with his billionaire friends."
A global contest is escalating between democracies ruled by law and lawless dictators enriching themselves and cronies. Domestic policies are raising costs and harming families: tariffs increase prices, Republican tax breaks contributed to millions losing health insurance, and aggressive ICE actions led to community terror and a tragic killing. The First Amendment is being treated as a license for one leader to speak freely while using government power to silence and punish critics. Efforts are underway to replace the Federal Reserve chair and bend the central bank to serve political and billionaire interests. Political elites blame progressive politics for electoral losses and urge moderation; that approach is rejected.
