Today, Donald Trump incited a riot — an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol designed to advance his hapless coup attempt.
Trump has conclusively (and repeatedly) demonstrated his unfitness for office. He must not be permitted to remain in office even for two more weeks. The risks of more deranged action are simply too high.
- Vice President Pence and the Cabinet should immediately invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
- The House of Representatives should act immediately to impeach him, with the Senate voting to convict.
- Once removed, Trump should be criminally prosecuted.

Thanks for taking action.

P.S. For half a century, Public Citizen has been advancing policies that put the needs of everyday Americans before the greed of billionaires and Big Business. That legacy of progress and that ongoing work could not matter more right now, as our nation transitions to a Joe Biden presidency that will be as progressive as we — you and Public Citizen, together — make it.
Of course, we’re also busy undoing damage the Trump administration has already done and watching out for whatever shenanigans a lame-duck Donald Trump tries to get away with. And — like so many nonprofits and small businesses — we continue to experience financial strain related to the coronavirus pandemic.
If you can, please make an emergency donation today to support the critical work we’re doing together or even join our popular Monthly Giving program. Thank you.
