The Trump administration's agenda poses a grave threat to democratic values and principles. Its nominees represent a concerted effort to undermine vital institutions and enact regressive policies that prioritize narrow interests over the common good. We cannot in good conscience endorse or validate any part of this disturbing agenda through supporting nominees who will actively work to implement it. Trump's litany of alarming actions in his first week alone, from pardoning insurrectionists to revoking security protections for political opponents, confirms fears that he seeks to consolidate authoritarian power and settle scores rather than govern responsibly. His nominees, despite any pretense of "normality," are effectively agents tasked with dismantling checks and balances while advancing his divisive goals. Each Democratic vote for a Trump nominee undermines our principled resistance and emboldens his most destructive impulses. It signals a willingness to compromise on bedrock democratic tenets in pursuit of ill-conceived notions of bipartisanship and "working together." There can be no political common ground when the opposing side openly rejects constitutional constraints and democratic processes. We urge an unwavering united front against all of Trump's nominees. Any Democratic enablement, however inadvertent or marginal, is unacceptable complicity. This defining struggle demands resolute opposition lest we bear responsibility for the ensuing ravages of emboldened authoritarianism. We must hold the line with clarity and courage, safeguarding democratic ideals for present and future generations. The path of least resistance paves the way for democracy's demise.
