In the past month, the president has purged senior military leadership, sent American troops into our nation’s capital, raided the home of a political adversary, and attempted to seize control of the central bank. Now he’s openly saying people want a dictator.

Happy Women’s Equality Day! 105 years after the 19th Amendment was enshrined in the Constitution, we continue the fight to enforce equal pay for equal work, restore reproductive freedom, and ensure women have the opportunity to succeed in every area of life.

This happens in places like Turkey, Venezuela or Russia – not the United States. Wherever a wannabe authoritarian seizes control of the central bank, the nation rapidly faces stunted economic growth and runaway inflation.

The president does not have the authority to fire Dr. Cook from the Federal Reserve, period. This unconstitutional effort to install a loyalist at America’s central bank undermines the rule of law and threatens the stability of our financial system. It cannot be allowed to move forward.

As the president sends American troops into American cities based on concocted “crises”, his administration is also purging senior military leadership and installing loyalists. It undermines our civil liberties and weakens our national security. taskandpurpose.com/news/navy-fi...
