On the eve of President Trump’s second 100 days, we find ourselves living in an America of chaos and destruction. The question now is what will the second 100 days bring? Will he continue to ignore the Congress, shred the federal bureaucracy, write off low-income Americans and use what he believes are his imperial presidential powers?
On a more positive note, the first 100 days found Americans riled up about what Trump has done to the country. Families, friends & neighbors across all 50 states have engaged in protests, sign waving, calling their member of Congress and speaking up as they observed the “day one dictator.”
Don’t put away those signs as they may be needed to force Congress to do its part in the next 100 days to stop Trump from desecrating vital programs or impounding funds. The New York Times reported to expect Trump’s proposed budget for 2026 fiscal year any day.
The most powerful agency in Washington is the Office of Management & Budget. It is now led by the architect of Project 2025. That is enough to let you know billions will be cut from education, housing assistance, childcare & elderly programs, health research and community development. Not to mention Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
With Trump’s “minions” in charge of Congress those who so badly need these programs will find themselves in the fight “for their lives.” It is well established that congressional Republicans are afraid of Trump. Well, the time has come they should be afraid of the voters back home.
This is where the brave protestors, the sign wavers, the letter writers show Congress, they are just as concerned more than even before about the second 100 days as the first.
There should be no delay in sending the strongest possible “stand up to Trump” message to Congress.
