Tens of thousands of Americans took to the streets in cities nationwide, protesting the Trump administration's controversial cuts to healthcare funding, widespread federal worker layoffs, and moves to dismantle key government programs. The demonstrations drew parallels to authoritarian regimes, with some critics likening Trump's tactics to those of fascist leaders like Mussolini. As the protests gain momentum, concerns about the erosion of democratic values and social welfare programs continue to grow, sparking heated debates about the future of American politics and the role of government in society, including issues like universal healthcare and workers' rights.
