Criminalizing dissent?

Trump is turning the government against his critics

Pamela, this is a dangerous time. Trump and his administration are using our government as a weapon. This is a deliberate strategy to use the state – and all its power – to punish dissent and intimate anyone who dares oppose MAGA. Trump's targets have included, but aren't limited to: journalists who challenged him, universities and nonprofits that disagreed with him and news networks who have talent that mocked his administration. What's next? We already know that the administration isn't above targeting – and punishing – anyone who dares criticize Trump. Next, they can be punishing school teachers or private citizens who post on social media. That's why it's critical Congress passes the No Political Enemies Act. SIGN NOW: Pass the No Political Enemies Act! This bill would protect vulnerable individuals, nonprofits, faith groups, educational institutions and media outlets from politically motivated harassment and prosecution by the Trump administration. Trump is actively dismantling our constitution and we need to do anything and everything we can to stop him. No president – no matter their political party – should ever be able to silence their critics by threatening investigations, pulling broadcast licenses or weaponning federal agencies. But Trump and his cronies are doing just that. We need stronger guardrails to protect our already fragile democracy. We're seeing an authoritarian system forming, and silencing critics is how they tighten their grip. That's why Congress needs to pass the No Political Enemies Act immediately.
