Do your job! You are failing.

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Carbajal

From: A verified voter in Lompoc, CA

July 12

Do your job: Trump issued an executive order revoking birthright citizenship — a direct violation of the 14th Amendment — and a federal judge blocked it as unconstitutional . Do your job: He has imposed sweeping, tariff-heavy trade actions (including 50% on copper, 200% on pharmaceuticals) under emergency powers without Congressional approval—despite federal courts ruling his April tariffs unauthorized. Do your job: He unilaterally fired 17 federal inspectors general in a late-night purge without proper notice, undermining independent oversight. Do your job: He ordered massive layoffs and agency dismantling without Congress’s budget authority, prompting legal injunctions and critiques labeling it unlawful. Do your job: He deployed National Guard troops and active-duty Marines into Los Angeles under dubious legal rationale, prompting alarm from multiple legal scholars. Do your job: He initiated widespread ICE raids in California characterized as racial profiling and lacking due process—federal courts have halted them via injunctions. Do your job: He weaponized the DOJ and targeted law firms and civil-rights lawyers critical of him by revoking their security clearances and threatening legal retaliation. Do your job: He ordered agencies to “rescind regulations” wholesale via sweeping executive memoranda, bypassing rule-making and Congressional processes. Do your job: He suspended probationary federal employees without legal authority—an action that was ruled invalid and rescinded by the courts. Do your job: He threatened U.S. citizens with loss of citizenship (like Rosie O’Donnell), ignored constitutional protections, and continued his authoritarian rantings. Congress, your inaction is enabling a president who flagrantly disregards constitutional limits, judicial checks, and democratic norms. It’s not enough to watch these abuses unfold—you were given the authority to stop them. The time to act is now. Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job! Do your job!
