John,
Democratic Party leadership spent the first quarter of Trump’s second presidency standing by and watching him rip away our rights, jail student activists, deport immigrants without due process, and hand the federal government over to corporate interests.
The final straw? Trump accepting a luxury jet from the government of Qatar. Only now is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pausing the confirmation of Trump nominees.
Why did it take 113 days into this administration for Schumer and Senate Democrats to act?
This free private jet from a foreign government is no doubt just another example of Trump selling out access to the White House to the highest bidders, but he has been doing this and Democratic leaders should have had the courage to act as an opposition party from Day 1.
Justice Democrats has taken on the ineffective, out-of-touch establishment since our founding in 2018, and we’re keeping it up by recruiting and supporting a new generation of progressive, working-class candidates to challenge Do-Nothing Democrats in the next primary elections.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
