➤➤ URGENT: Trump says “Maybe we like a dictator” — and doubles down with federal crackdowns
This week, as Trump signed sweeping executive orders in the Oval Office, he made a chilling comment:
“A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we like a dictator.’”
And he’s acting like he means it. He’s sent federal agents, the National Guard, ICE, and FBI into D.C., turning the capital into a militarized zone under the banner of “crime control.”
He’s even authorized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to create new National Guard units with broad powers — warning that cities like New York and LA could be next.
This isn’t just politics. It’s Trump showing us he’s willing to sidestep democracy any time it suits him.
That’s why Democratic Secretaries of State matter more than ever. They’re the ones holding the line – protecting elections, defending our institutions, and pushing back against authoritarian power grabs.
But this all takes resources, and it’s why we’re asking you to chip in $20 or more today to support DASS and our network of Secretaries of State fighting for democratic safeguards. Can you pitch in now?
