“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors."This doesn't just constrain Democrats. It applies to all officeholders, including you. You took an oath to the Constitution not to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk have made clear who they are. Only fools - or Kremlin tools - would abandon NATO, side with Russia, and demand Ukraine surrender in the face of Putin’s brutal aggression.

Putin will pocket Trump’s naive concessions and demand much more. Appeasement makes a wider war more likely, not less.

Together with our allies, we defeated the Soviet Union - an empire so evil it had to build gulags and walls to keep its own people in. Destroying America’s alliances and abandoning the cause of freedom is morally and strategically indefensible.

History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.

It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

Start here with Ronald Reagan: “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction.

History will not be kind to those who are helping him, especially those who call themselves Reagan Republicans while they pretend not to see what’s happening.
