And this is true for other civic leaders: partners in law firms, university and foundation presidents, those who lead chambers of commerce, fraternal organizations, churches, shuls and mosques. We need a united democratic front now and remaining silent in 2026 is not an option.

In the CBS statement excerpted above, it uses the term "Russiagate"—a far-right slur—to describe the very real Trump-Russia scandal and speaks of "the president's fitness to serve" without naming a POTUS (to avoid offending anyone). What lies ahead is pandering to MAGA—full stop.

MAGA always claims to want no more foreign entanglements.

Yet they have cheered every single illegal foreign entanglement Trump has unilaterally launched.

Meanwhile, Trump lies to their faces about ending eight wars—every fact check confirms he's ended none—and they lap it up.

What sort of sick individual uses the United States Armed Forces to advance—not just a bizarre personal vendetta—but a conspiracy theory *that makes QAnon look sober*.
