Questions for America's 250th

Will 2026 be a celebration of 250 years of independence – or a reprise of the violent revolution that began our nation?

It’s clear – from every poll and every recent election – that, after just one year, most voters are done with Trump and ready for change.

It’s also clear that Trump is determined to hold onto power.

Will he accept an election that sweeps out Republicans and puts Democrats in charge of Congress?

Will he try to suspend the 2026 elections?

Will he order ICE stormtroopers to seize ballot boxes?

Trump has declared himself above international law.

He says the only thing to stop him is “my own morality.”

What’s to stop him here at home?

Congress and the courts?

The military?

Or we the people?
