National Security Action

We know what it takes to contain and combat a global health emergency like Coronavirus—and the Trump administration has done the opposite.

Here's how NOT to confront an epidemic: nationalsecurityaction.org/newsroom/coron…
First, there's no substitute for preparedness—both home and abroad—but the Trump administration has taken an axe to investments by the previous administration aimed at global health security.
For example, Trump eliminated the post of Senior Director for Global Health Security and Biothreats on his NSC staff one day after the Democratic Republic of Congo confirmed an Ebola outbreak. csis.org/analysis/healt…

The impeachment inquiry surfaced overwhelming evidence detailing Trump's betrayal of our national security—and ahead of formal trial proceedings in the Senate, significant new evidence came to light, leaving no doubt that the President personally directed this scheme.
At the outset of this process, national security professionals came together to urge formal impeachment proceedings.

The urgency we felt then has only grown, as Trump and his allies have continued brazenly pursuing their scheme in plain sight.

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Holding Trump accountable is all the more important because his betrayal is ongoing.

If the Senate fails to send a clear, unmistakable signal that America’s national security cannot be mortgaged for Trump’s personal gain, he's demonstrated that he won't hesitate to try again.

As Trump signs a so-called “Phase One” trade agreement with China, his usual pattern is coming into focus: once again, he stoked a costly crisis before claiming to have “solved” it with a bandage “deal” that does little more than stop the bleeding. nationalsecurityaction.org/newsroom/anoth…
Trump is now suggesting any subsequent steps may have to wait until after the election, meaning this may not be a first step—but rather a case of “phase one and done.”

All the while, the damage has mounted.
American farmers, workers, and consumers have paid billions in tariffs and lost revenue. Trump’s trade war has strained our alliances and the global economy while China gains economic influence in America’s absence.

America is weaker and worse off, with little to show in return.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
