Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

These are all chapters in the authoritarian playbook, and Donald Trump is following them step by step. Now is not the time to stand on the sidelines; it’s time to make your voice heard.

Normally when I visit DC, I’m inspired by monuments to reinvest in our democracy. Today, I wonder if the sun has set on this great experiment.

To my rep: I’m a SF Bay Area native/voter who’s spent the weekend in Baltimore, a couple days in York, PA, now in DC. I see the party without a change management/PR plan to tell Americans WTF is going on. The MLB is ruling. 😲🤔🫢

Trump has declared himself the president-king.
When it comes to late-night TV, Trump is the censor.
When it comes to his political enemies, Trump is the prosecutor.
When it comes to people in boats in international waters, Trump is the judge, jury and executioner.
He thinks he rules over all of us.
