Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "We answered the call to defeat fascism. We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right. We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."

Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections. While the courts can stand in the way of his twisted vision for America, they can never completely halt it. Trump knows this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
