WASHINGTON, DC - In response to the FBI arresting a sitting judge, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Donald Trump has spent his presidency attacking the Constitution and our democracy. He incited a failed insurrection after losing an election. He’s launched an unprecedented assault on our nation’s courts after threatening to send Americans to foreign gulags. And he’s making it clear he’s plotting to run for an unconstitutional third term. Now, he’s having his federal goons arrest a duly elected judge. Brick by brick, Trump is trying to take apart our democracy to fulfill his dream of being a dictator on ‘Day One.’ How much longer before all of us — Republicans, Democrats, and everyone in between — draw a line in the sand?”

WASHINGTON, DC - In response to Trump pushing to eliminate Head Start and health care services, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Other than inflicting harm for harm’s sake, there’s no reason to go after preschools and toddlers — but that's exactly what Donald Trump is doing. With his latest budget, Trump is attacking kids and their families. Trump is calling to destroy affordable health care services, rip away funding from local health clinics, and eliminate rural health programs. And after moving to gut public school funding, Trump is targeting kids again by putting Head Start on the chopping block, forcing parents to shell out an extra $12,000 a year so their kids don’t go hungry or miss out on school readiness. Trump and his billionaire Cabinet may never know what it’s like to have no health care or child care, but hardworking families whose preschools are already shutting down do — and they’ll suffer most under these devastating cuts.”
