Deep dives

Emerging Resistance Against Trump

A marked resistance against the Trump administration has begun to surface, notably coming from within his own party. High-ranking U.S. attorneys, such as Danielle Sassoon and Scott Hagan, publicly resigned rather than comply with orders to dismiss valid charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, reflecting a commitment to uphold the rule of law amid Trump’s attempts to purge the government of non-loyalists. This dissent signals a potential shift in the political landscape, as dissenters are not aligned with traditional liberal movements but rather are from conservative backgrounds. The implications of such actions could foster a broader uprising against Trump's authority, highlighting that even Republicans are beginning to question the boundaries of partisanship in the face of constitutional integrity.
