We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

Exactly. I want Democratic leadership that are openly letting us know that if/when the clock turns, there will be Nuremberg Trials for the fascists that have taken control of this country.

ElieNYC @elienyc.bsky.social · 14h

Be nice if any single national Democrat promised to hold these fuckwads accountable for malicious prosecution should the wheel ever turn around.

But, whatever. Everybody who opposes Trump will just have to weather this bullshit.

Donald Trump wants to sell YOUR student loan debt to Wall Street.

He's not looking out for you — he's looking to make his CEO buddies more money off of your back.

Trump administration considers sale of federal student loan debt

This is a federal agent pointing a weapon at a person recording them.

ICE has become Trump’s personal military that he is using to terrorize communities and cities that don’t support him. And some say we shouldn’t call him a fascist? Open your eyes.

"PFNA is so hazardous that the EPA struck an agreement with eight companies to phase it out nearly two decades ago."

And yet, the report is stuck in limbo, still not released to the public.

UPDATE: While it shouldn't have taken this long for the Senate to look into Trump’s egregious abuse of our military, I have secured a hearing to investigate his deployments of troops into our cities—

And I’ll be asking tough questions of the Trump Administration when it happens.

Tammy Duckworth @duckworth.senate.gov · 19h

Trump is forcing the military to our cities, intimidating Americans and distracting troops from their core missions.

It's unconstitutional—we can't act like it's business as usual.

I'm blocking the NDAA until we secure a hearing to investigate this gross abuse of our military.
