Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel.
We need to all stand up and speak out.

Lawyers Mark Zaid, Norm Eisen, and Nancy Gertner of Democracy Defenders Fund threaten to sue DOJ over fired prosecutors and FBI agents. Your turn, Senate. Bring Bondy and Patel back for more questioning.

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. Nor will you find any courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow and scrape before Trump.
That leaves only the courts.

If you are a leader who previously boasted about your pro-democracy positions, you have a greater obligation. If you feel obliged to obey Trump, spare us your justifications. Just tell us you are too scared to fight. If you feel the need to bow down, let someone with more courage take your spot.
