Under Donald Trump, Americans are witnessing the most sweeping attempt yet to dismantle federal regulations. The cuts impact nearly every facet of American life, from the water every American drinks to the wages every worker earns. The DOGE approach is dangerous for everyday Americans who rely on these vital safeguards, according to Sheila Bair, former chair of the FDIC. “You don’t need a chainsaw—you need a thoughtful, strategic approach,” Bair says, adding that regulators need to be involved in any attempts at reform. “They really have the expertise, and they are in the best place to understand where you can cut without causing damage,” she explains. “Learn from their expertise in being more surgical.”

A series of Supreme Court rulings dating back to the 1960s have gradually weakened key constitutional safeguards, eroding personal freedoms in exchange for the false promise of public safety. It’s all but set the stage for a would-be autocrat to step in and exploit these democratic vulnerabilities even further.

For instance, the Trump administration’s claim that an administrative error was behind the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, could just as easily occur with any American citizen. “People need to understand that this isn’t just a threat against people who are immigrants–it really is all of us,” says Barkow.
