Applaud Sen. Ed Markey for Defending Democracy

Sen. Ed Markey is speaking up for the American people — and refusing to normalize dangerous, reckless leadership from the White House.

After reports revealed Donald Trump tied his aggressive push to seize Greenland to a personal grudge over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Sen. Markey issued a clear and urgent call: invoke the 25th Amendment. His message is simple — if a president is making global decisions based on ego, resentment, and revenge, that is not leadership. It’s a threat to national security and international stability.

Markey’s statement is about protecting democracy, preventing abuse of power, and demanding accountability when a president shows signs of being unfit to carry out the responsibilities of the office. The stakes are too high for silence — and Markey is refusing to look away.

This is what courage looks like: telling the truth, sounding the alarm, and standing up for the Constitution even when it’s politically inconvenient.

Add your name to applaud Sen. Ed Markey for putting country over politics, defending democratic stability, and demanding accountability when our safety and future are on the line.
