Friend, a couple of weeks ago, I read an editorial in The New York Times about a possible Trump third term. I wanted to share my response with you:

"To the Editor:
Re "Trump Cannot Serve a Third Term. Period" (editorial, May 11):

On April 3, I went to the floor of the United States Senate to ask for unanimous consent to pass my resolution simply stating: "That it is the sense of the Senate that Donald Trump is ineligible in any future elections to be elected vice president or president, or to serve as president beyond the conclusion of his current term."

Senator Rick Scott of Florida objected - without offering a word of explanation why - and that blocked the resolution's passage.

Senate Republicans are now on record as unwilling and unable to stand up to Donald Trump on something as constitutionally undisputed as the president's term limits under the 12th and 22nd
Amendments.

Edward J. Markey

The writer is a Democratic senator from Massachusetts."

So jokes aside, it sure seems like the GOP has no problem flirting with the idea of a third Trump term. That’s completely unacceptable, and if these statements are taken seriously, we are heading down the path of total dictatorship and the end of Constitutional rule in America.

Please, make a contribution today and help me fight back against this authoritarian President and the Republicans who enable him. We must build a massive pro-democracy movement that can defeat the far-right and the threat that they pose.

In solidarity,
