Message from the Chair
Anybody who has lived with a narcissistic family member could have predicted this descent into executive branch chaos. A disordered person will, of course, handpick weak underlings who are willing – even eager – to deliver the adoration demanded by the Narcissist-in-Chief, Donald Trump.
Narcissistic personalities require constant flattery, with their superiority always acknowledged. This strange craving is reflected in the behavior of the entourage surrounding the personality-disordered individual. The more cravenly sycophantic the underling, the faster they will rise in the administration.
Competent and confident individuals have better options. They fled en masse from Trump 1.0. This time around, only the more childlike and insecure personalities will stick with Trump 2.0. No nation can be well served by such a cabal of the weak and unqualified.
Quisling GOP politicians put us all at risk by continuing to ignore the dangers presented by such a régime. In the end, though, reality will assert itself. Servile underlings who enable such a régime ultimately destroy their careers. In the meantime, unfortunately, the entire nation must pay the price of their failure.
Let us all ensure that the midterm elections of 2026 mark the end of this dismal Reign of Error. It’s time to elect responsible, patriotic representatives who can investigate and address the abuse, and start cleaning up the mess.
TAKE ACTION: May Day Strong: We are the Many
This event will have Americans across the country rising up to demand a country where families are prioritized over billionaires. Trump and Musk are working hard to silence unions, privatize schools, and obliterate healthcare to decrease taxes for the wealthy.

Call Kevin Kiley's Office to Demand He Call for the Resignation of Defense Secretary Hegseth!
916-724-2575
Your Script: Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from (City), California.
I’m calling today because I'm outraged over the incompetent and careless use of a commercial app to discuss highly-classified military operations by Pete Hegseth and other Trump administration officials.
I ask that Rep. Kevin Kiley demand the immediate resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and conduct congressional investigations.
