"I was reading the Declaration of Independence today and King George sounds a lot like somebody we know. Here's 10 things they wrote in 1776 that still ring true in 2026. Number one, he has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. In our case, he has refused to sign a housing bill passed by Congress unless they make it harder for people to vote. Number two, he has refused to sign other laws for large districts of people unless they relinquish their rights of representation. In our case, he threatened lawmakers and state legislatures unless they change their maps to reduce black representation in Congress. Number three, he has obstructed laws for the naturalization of citizens. In our case, he signed an executive order on his first day in office to end birthright citizenship guaranteed in the Constitution. Number four, he has obstructed the administration of justice. In our case, he has pardoned his friends, indicted his enemies, and he was indicted himself for obstruction of an official government proceeding. Number five, he has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices. In our case, he has personally attacked judges in cases he's involved with, filed conduct complaints against judges who rule against him, and caused threats and arrasments against judges he dislikes. Number six, he has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of our legislatures. In our case, he sent the US Marines to Los Angeles and sent the National Guard to L.A., Chicago, Portland, Memphis, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C., often against the will of the government and legislature of the states. Number seven, he has tried to make the military independent and superior to the civil power. In our case, he told the military to use American cities as training grounds for what he calls the enemy within. Number eight, for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world and imposing taxes on us without our consent. In our case, he launched a costly trade war that alienated our partners and allies and imposed a tax on American consumers. Number nine, for depriving us of the benefit of trial by jury and for transporting us beyond the seas for pretended defenses. In our case, he murdered people at sea without a trial or a jury, and he transported hundreds of people to a notorious mega prison in El Salvador. And number 10, he has excited domestic insurrections among us. Sound familiar? In our case, he has refused to accept the results of an election, incited an insurrection to stop the peaceful transfer of power, pardoned the people who participated in the insurrection, and then created a $1.776 billion fund to compensate them. The man who signed this document 250 years ago in this building behind me gave the American people an instruction manual for what to do when another tyrant comes along. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. In fact, they said it is not just our right, it is our duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for our future security. Your move, America."
