How much longer are we going to stand by and let this country suffer at the hands of Donald Trump and his enablers? How much longer are we going to suffer billionaires like Elon Musk, who wield their power with reckless abandon, influencing policy and public discourse to serve their own interests? How much longer will we allow this humiliation on the world stage, watching our leaders grovel before authoritarian forces, dismantling decades of diplomacy, and eroding the credibility of the United States? Today’s Ukrainian peace negotiations were a breaking point—yet another red line that has been crossed, not with a decisive stand for democracy and justice, but with cowardice and self-interest. The spectacle of Trump and J.D. Vance meddling in one of the most critical global conflicts of our time was not just embarrassing—it was dangerous. It was an affront to everything America is supposed to stand for. Their actions undermined our allies, emboldened our adversaries, and signaled to the world that America’s commitment to democracy is for sale to the highest bidder. We have seen this play out time and again. Trump cozies up to despots, weakens our alliances, and treats national security as a bargaining chip for personal gain. Musk, with his unchecked influence in everything from social media to defense infrastructure, openly mocks democratic institutions while bending policy to his whims. And yet, we let it happen. We let it continue. When do we say enough? When do we draw the final red line and take meaningful action? Because this is not just a political game—this is the future of the United States, the future of our global leadership, and the future of democracy itself. Every day we wait, we lose ground. Every moment we hesitate, another red line is crossed. If watching today’s debacle didn’t enrage you, if it didn’t make you want to stand up and demand accountability, then what will? Enough is enough. It’s time to act. It’s time to stop watching and start doing.
