There’s no one around to stop Trump from declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution or even an election.
Trump Wants to Be President for Life—and He’s Already Preparing for It
No, he’s not “joking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this month.

Trump promised lower prices on day one, but so far all we’ve seen is chaos and confusion. His actions have done nothing to lower costs and have already hurt our economy.

ALL of the Republicans are standing up and cheering for DOGE, Elon Musk, and Trump’s “policies.”
Remember that when you’re unemployed and can’t afford your basic necessities because of Trump’s tariffs.

This current Social Security riff by Trump is completely debunked 100% total made-up BS. No president has EVER lied this baldly from the podium. And Vance, Johnson, and the whole GOP just nod and go along with it.

Folks, #Trump is lying. He just said his plan calls for “no tax on tips, OT, or Social Security.” But the Tax Bill the House GOP just passed has absolutely none of this. Zero. Nada. Nothing.
But it does have trillions in new tax cuts for billionaires.

Trump loves terrorizing children. He rapes young girls, trafficked babies that have been separated from parents as he did in his first term, or taking parents away while children are away at school as part of mass deportations. Congrats MAGA Christians!

They can't eliminate the diversity of this country. It was always here and it always will be here in these places, whether or not the USA itself endures. They can create hierarchy and repression, and we can oppose it by embracing equality and diversity. Si se puede and sic semper tyrannis.
