At 12:45 this afternoon, the President of the United States began threatening Democrats with imprisonment from his private golf club in West Palm Beach. With the traveling press pool held across the street, he called impeachment an “illegal process,” described officials who might face investigations as victims, and suggested that questioning his wealthy Republican donors was political persecution. He singled out Senator Elissa Slotkin, twisting her calls to investigate alleged corruption into a claim that she wanted to go after young people for believing in Republican values. Then he ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the Democrats “immediately.” These are members of Congress exercising their responsibility to ask questions and seek information. He doesn’t get to declare the Constitution illegal because it might finally be used to hold the people around him accountable.
One hour later, he was back, calling Democrats “SLEAZEBAGS” and telling Americans to report their own elected representatives to the Justice Department or directly to him. Between those two posts, he announced that he had offered the White House press secretary position to Dana White, the president of the UFC, describing him as “a violent Fighter and Warrior.” He even asked him to bring fighters along to defend against the “Lunatic Left.” It is still unclear whether the offer was real. CNN reported that a source said White declined, while White said he would meet Trump at the White House on Monday. But the president’s own words tell us how he views the job. He wants someone who will treat the press like an opponent in a cage match. Qualifications and the ability to explain what the government is doing do not seem to matter. Loyalty, intimidation, and making him feel powerful are what matter. Just days after congratulating Democrats on their election victories, and after announcing Stephen Miller as his incoming chief of staff, he is back to threatening the people who are supposed to hold him accountable.
But what I keep coming back to is what the American people just did. They showed up and delivered a sweeping rejection of Donald Trump, breaking through in states where we had been told it was impossible. Kansas, Texas, South Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, and Maine showed what can happen when people refuse to give up. Voters elected women and people of color to offices where they had never served before, and those victories show both who we are and who we are becoming. That matters when the president is flailing, threatening his opponents, and making a mockery of the institutions generations of Americans built and died protecting. We have already made it nearly two years. The election did not finish the work, but it gave us a foundation for what comes next. We are still standing, still resisting, and still capable of holding those in power accountable.

We are living through a pivotal moment for our country, and my goal is to reach as many people as possible with clear, factual information about what is happening. The more people who understand what is unfolding, the better our chances of pushing back against chaos, cruelty, and corruption ahead of the midterms.
