Democrats Warn Trump’s Actions Edge the U.S. Toward Authoritarianism

Senate leaders and top Democratic figures are sounding alarms over what they call an escalating pattern of political retribution under President Donald Trump. They point to his public pressure on the Justice Department to target critics, threats from FCC-aligned regulators toward outlets like ABC after critical commentary, and other actions they deem dangerous to democratic norms. Specific individuals such as Senator Adam Schiff and NY Attorney General Letitia James have been named by Trump in demands for legal consequences. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer described these developments as signs the U.S. risks becoming what some critics are labeling a “banana republic.” Meanwhile, Erik Siebert, a U.S. Attorney, resigned after refusing to pursue charges against James, citing insufficient evidence. The growing concern among Democrats is that these harassing tactics aren’t just political — they’re undermining American institutions and civil liberties.
