Donald Trump is turning the power of government into a weapon against his critics. He goes after journalists who challenged him, targets universities and nonprofits that disagreed with him, and pushes networks to silence voices that mocked his administration. This is a deliberate strategy to use the state to punish dissent and to intimidate anyone who dares to oppose him.

The No Political Enemies Act is Congress’s answer to this abuse of power. The bill would protect individuals, nonprofits, faith groups, educational institutions, and media outlets from politically motivated harassment and prosecution. It would stop federal funds from being used to suppress speech, create clear legal protections for those targeted, and allow citizens and organizations to hold government officials accountable when they abuse their authority.

Trump and his allies made clear that they were willing to exploit tragedy and crisis to consolidate power. They used moments of national grief as pretexts to attack critics and expand government retaliation against political opponents. That is how an authoritarian system tightens its grip.

Free speech belongs to the American people, not to the Oval Office.

No president should ever be able to silence critics by threatening investigations, pulling broadcast licenses, or weaponizing federal agencies.

In cities and towns across America, masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are kidnapping people off the streets while hiding their own identities and ignoring constitutional rights like arrest warrants and due process.

This is what happens in authoritarian societies.

Law enforcement officials must not be allowed to hide their badges and identities when making arrests. Identification on uniforms must be required. Officers must be unmasked.

In response to these authoritarian tactics, elected leaders in California have introduced a bill that bans all law enforcement officials from using masks and requires ICE to provide clear identification on their uniforms during arrests. Congress and legislatures across the country should do the same.

There should be no secret police in America. Demand action to unmask ICE by adding your name now.

The facts are undeniable. A comprehensive new study in JAMA Pediatrics confirms what parents, teachers, and first responders have long known. States that loosen their gun laws are seeing more children die from gun violence. States that pass and enforce strict firearm safety laws are saving lives.

The data covers more than a decade of changes in state-level gun policies after the Supreme Court decision in 2010 undermined local restrictions. The result is over 7,400 more children dead in states that rolled back protections than what researchers predicted. These were not random tragedies. They were the foreseeable result of policies that increased access to guns and removed safeguards.

There is no mystery about what works. States like California, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, all with comprehensive gun safety laws, saw lower or stable rates of child firearm deaths. These states implemented universal background checks, safe storage laws, and red flag laws. These are proven life-saving measures.

Unsurprisingly, states like Missouri, Texas, and Florida that weakened their gun laws have watched youth firearm deaths rise. More guns with fewer regulations lead to more funerals.

The evidence is overwhelming. We can stop this crisis. But we need leaders who put children and public health ahead of gun industry profits and political extremism.
