Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue

Halloween may be over, but the frights taking over our country are not going away. Every headline mentioning Trump’s unconstitutional wishes, authoritarian actions, and evil policy feels like a jump scare. The ghosts and ghouls haunting America are not playful creatures but slimy politicians attempting to hide their wickedness under a blanket of lies. Shining a light on the scares, this newsletter calls out the headlines and shares what kinds of haunts await the American people.

Democracy vs. Monarchy: The Fight for America

Trump is set on turning our democracy into a monarchy. From pardoning corrupt allies to demolishing the White House, Trump is doing everything he can to seize control. The American people, like the generation before them who faced a king, are standing up to this tyranny in historic numbers. Trump is refusing to listen to his fellow citizens, seeing them as subjects instead of his source of authority—forgetting that in a democracy, his power comes from the consent of the governed. This newsletter highlights the latest overreaches of Trump and how Americans can keep fighting for our country.

This newsletter covers the ebbs and flows of the week, pointing out when our pilots veer off course and what the passengers can do about it.
