[1]Eugene Vindman for Congress

Today marks an important day in our nation's history. 248 years ago, our founding fathers ratified the Declaration of Independence and freed our country and people from the oppressive control of the monarchy. As a Ukrainian immigrant and Army veteran, this day means a great deal to me.

However, today — in 2024 — our country and democracy are once again at a critical juncture as we face the threat of MAGA extremism and Donald Trump.

Our democracy hangs in the balance. Earlier this week, Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court Justices ruled that he has absolute immunity from prosecution for “official acts” and will not be prosecuted for inciting the January 6th insurrection.

Justice Sotomayor said it best in her dissent: “In every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.”

248 years after gaining independence, our country stands at the same crossroads, where our choices will determine whether we uphold democracy or fall to autocratic control.

So as we celebrate the independence and freedoms our founding fathers fought long and hard for, we must also remember that our democracy itself is vulnerable under the rule of MAGA Republicans.

Today we rest and celebrate the day with our friends and family. But tomorrow, we will get back to work, fighting to take back the House and keep the Senate and the presidency. Because that is how we will protect and continue to preserve this fragile experiment that is our democracy.

Happy 4th.

Eugene Vindman
