Top Democratic leaders warned that Donald Trump's actions against political opponents are pushing the US toward dictatorship. This follows Trump's call for the Justice Department to target perceived enemies and the FCC's threat to ABC, leading to Jimmy Kimmel's show being suspended. Senators Schumer and Murphy described Trump's actions as dictatorial and likened the US to a "banana republic." Trump targeted Senator Schiff and Attorney General James, while former Secretary of State Clinton echoed concerns about this "dangerous turn." Even some Republicans expressed alarm at threats against the media.
