Trump Is Using Federal Investigators Against Opponents. We Need You to Stop It.

Our country is watching the Justice Department become a tool for political revenge. Trump has launched investigations into state officials, federal reserve leaders, and critics, often calling for their prosecution before presenting evidence. When Minnesota's governor and mayor sued over an ICE operation, subpoenas arrived days later. When Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell resisted pressure to lower rates, the DOJ served him with grand jury subpoenas. When former FBI Director Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Congressman Adam Schiff spoke out against Trump, they were charged. This isn't law enforcement anymore. It's a hit list, and it's costing taxpayers millions while your government does nothing but settle personal scores.
You're next. Whether you represent a blue state, or simply refused to fall in line, you should know that Trump has made it clear anyone who investigated him or disagreed with him is a target. Your state officials, your election workers, your attorneys general can all be dragged into federal court on charges designed to destroy them. The FBI is purging agents who worked Trump cases. The Justice Department is launching investigations into nonprofits and Democratic organizations.
You need to speak up now. Publicly oppose this weaponization of the Justice Department. Demand that it be restored to an institution that serves the rule of law, not the president's personal interests. The American people will not accept a government that uses the courts to eliminate its opponents.
