Jack, the top lines of the 49-page federal indictment against Donald Trump were bad, and the details are even worse: It provides a stark and detailed account of Trump's recklessness with highly classified and sensitive documents, and the lengths he went through to circumvent investigators.

Sign if you agree: Tell Republicans to stop defending Donald Trump. He must be held accountable for his crimes.

Not only did Trump carelessly dump dozens of boxes in unsecured rooms throughout Mar-a-Lago, when the National Archives came to collect, and after them the FBI, Trump colluded with his lawyers and staff—on tape!—to hide the materials. He also admitted—on tape!—that he knew the documents were not declassified. He just didn’t give a damn.

Still, Republicans continue to feverishly defend Trump at the expense of truth, the rule of law, and our democracy—further inciting MAGA militants.

Trump's alleged crimes have serious implications for our national security, our enlisted service members and diplomats, and our democracy. Others who have been accused of similar, and, in many cases, lesser offenses, have been prosecuted. Instead of allowing the criminal legal system to work as it has previously, Republicans are undermining our rule of law.

Enough is enough. After two indictments, the GOP is STILL defending Trump. It's time they stop. Click to sign the petition.

Jack, on Thursday, June 8, twice-impeached Donald Trump added a new honorific to his biography—he is the first former president to face federal criminal charges.

A grand jury of everyday Americans in Florida have reportedly issued a federal criminal indictment against Trump on charges over his mishandling of classified material and his potential obstruction of the investigation. This follows the previous grand jury indictment in New York for illegally concealing hush money payments during the last days of a heated political campaign.

The same MAGA Republicans who supported, schemed, and covered up for Trump in order to enrich themselves and attack our freedoms are once again coming to his defense. Here are a few examples:

Fox News—fresh off the “largest publicly known defamation settlement in US history involving a media company”—wasted no time rallying behind Trump, smearing Attorney General Merrick Garland, unleashing "unhinged demagoguery," and spreading misinformation.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise baselessly accused President Biden and the Justice Department of engaging in a politically motivated investigation intended to curtail Trump's presidential campaign.

Multiple members of Congress, including Elise Stefanik who was central to electing known liar and now-indicted George Santos, called it a "witch hunt." Santos, for his part, also defended Trump.

No one is above the law, not even a twice-impeached, twice-indicted, disgraced Republican nominee for president. By choosing to ignore the facts, defame and intimidate public servants, and obstruct prosecution, Republicans continue to endanger our democracy, and undermine the rule of law.

Add your name: Tell Republicans to stop defending Donald Trump.
