Condemn Trump's authoritarian overreaches and abuse of power

Donald Trump's actions during his first 100 days in office represent an egregious abuse of presidential power to target perceived enemies and critics. His retaliatory campaign against political opponents, former officials, law firms, universities, protesters, and media organizations is a direct assault on fundamental democratic principles of free speech, due process, and the rule of law. By wielding the immense powers of the federal government as a tool for personal vengeance and partisan politics, Trump has undermined the constitutional system of checks and balances. This disturbing pattern of retribution has had severe consequences, stripping security clearances, revoking funding, initiating spurious investigations, and even threatening deportation against those who dare to dissent or speak truth to power. Such conduct is unacceptable and antithetical to American values. Urgent action must be taken to rein in these authoritarian overreaches and restore the integrity of public institutions. The nation's leaders have a responsibility to defend democratic norms and citizens' constitutional rights against this shocking abuse of power.
