Crap.
Has it only been a year since Donald Trump returned to power?
ICE Agents are terrorizing innocent people on America’s streets, killing some of them, and sending others to domestic concentration camps.
Health care for millions destroyed.
Food security for millions of poor children obliterated.
States led by people who oppose Trump have their child care and clean energy projects’ federal funding cut off.
Protecting pedophiles while his Injustice Department investigates political opponents and rivals who have broken no laws.
Prices at the grocery stores are still going up.
Enriching his family and his billionaire cronies while most working and middle class people struggle to put food on the table.
Invading Venezuela and shifting their oil sales receipts into non-American-regulated banks in Qatar.
Threatening to tear apart the N.A.T.O. alliance over Greenland because he did not get the Nobel Peace Prize.
What insanity for the country and the American People.
To mark the occasion, members of Arizona’s Democratic Congressional Delegation went on social media to express their thoughts on this turbulent, “devastating,” and “insane” period of United States History.
Representative Yassamin Ansari posted a video on social media where she said:
“It’s insane to me that it’s only been one year because I truly feel like it has been at least five years, and the amount…the sheer amount of egregious things that have happened, that have devastated the country have…there’s just no world in which we can go through that entire list…the entirety of the Trump Presidency…has been about corruption and making billionaires…richer and more powerful and more immune from any sort of accountability…Trump pardoned all the January 6 insurrectionists…Elon Musk got a special appointment at the White House. DOGE was created, and they literally took a sledgehammer to so many critical agencies, firing illegally tens of thousands of federal employees…They completely dismantled USAID, and they say 600,000 people have died as a result of the U.S. no longer providing critical life-saving services...Obviously, the Trump Administration demonstrated itself to be the most corrupt and authoritarian administration in history over the last year. Donald Trump continues to cover up the Epstein Files and I think a lot of what he’s doing right now with his crazy threats and also…illegal takeovers of other countries is because he’s just trying to create mass chaos to distract from the fact that he is covering up the Epstein Files and that he has not made life more affordable for people...Now Greenland is deeply alarming. Over the weekend, Donald Trump wrote a…it could have been written by a five year old…that may as well have been written in crayon to the President of Norway, again bringing up the fact that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize…and then saying that is why he’s no longer focused on peace and therefore the U.S. needs to seize Greenland. This is a massive threat to U.S. National Security; that Donald Trump is so erratic and clearly mentally ill that he wants to start a war with Europe over Greenland...If this election was truly about the economy and the price of housing, of eggs and groceries, none of that has gotten better…He does not care about the American People. He’s delivered no policies to make life better for the American People. All he’s done is made himself richer…It’s unfortunate that it had to get this bad but this is a wakeup call for our country that Democracy is fragile, that it can be dismantled and we have to fight for it every single day.”
Representative Greg Stanton issued a series of posts calling out Trump’s failure to lower costs for the American People.
Senator Mark Kelly wrote:
“One year into Trump’s second term, billionaires and corporations are richer than ever while Americans can’t afford food and health care. One year in, Donald Trump and his family have lined their pockets with billions of dollars while young people still can’t afford a home. One year in, our alliances are strained and Americans are less safe because of it. If this is where America is after one year, imagine after three more. We need a President who’s actually focused on working Americans, not just himself and his rich buddies.”
In an appearance on CNN, Senator Ruben Gallego said Trump was “Insane” and “A madman,” contending that “He (Trump) is only thinking about himself…Where are we at this moment when we don’t understand what’s happening in this country? The man is threatening war against a NATO ally…It’s not rational right now. He’s destroying our world reputation.”
