(From a speech recently delivered in English-speaking countries on April 4, 2025)
A speech in which a US senator sounds the alarm about the serious crisis the United States is currently facing under the Trump administration. As "bad news," he denounces the current situation in which the United States is rapidly moving toward oligarchy (rule by billionaires) and authoritarianism.

Specifically, he points out the violation of congressional authority, attacks on the media and judiciary, unjustified intervention in universities, and how billionaires such as Elon Musk control politics. He declares that "this is politics of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires," and reveals the reality that the Constitution and the rule of law are being threatened. In addition, he mentions the movement to dismantle systems that are essential to the lives of the people, such as social security and veterans' support, and to promote tax cuts for the wealthy.

However, the speech ends with "good news." He touches on the success of the "Anti-Oligarchy Tour" across the United States and the recent election results, emphasizing that the people are rising up to change the status quo. We strongly urge people not to despair, but to unite across divisions based on race and origin, and take action from the grassroots level to restore democracy.
