Scrutinize Trump's controversial Cabinet picks to safeguard democracy

November 20
The real risks posed by Trump's potential Cabinet picks cannot be overstated. With individuals like Matt Gaetz potentially leading the Department of Justice, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overseeing public health initiatives, and Tulsi Gabbard shaping foreign policy, there are serious concerns about political vendettas, backsliding on scientific consensus, and emboldening hostile nations. These nominees have troubling histories that could directly impact the rights, wellbeing, and security of all Americans if confirmed. We must remain vigilant and vocally oppose nominees who threaten to undermine core democratic principles and institutions that exist to protect the people. I urge you to scrutinize each prospective Cabinet member's record and policy stances, and reject those who would abuse their power or put partisan interests ahead of the nation's best interests.
