I am writing to express my strong opposition to what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing to this country. This is not governance. This is not an “audit.” This is a coup. And real people—your constituents—are being hurt because of it. Every day, we see the consequences of their reckless consolidation of power. This is not about transparency or accountability; it is about silencing dissent, eliminating safeguards, and dismantling institutions that protect everyday Americans. It is about replacing expertise with blind loyalty. I am deeply concerned about what this means for the future of our democracy and our country. People are losing their jobs. Programs that support working families, students, and vulnerable populations are under attack. Government agencies are being hollowed out and handed over to billionaires who have no accountability to the American people. These actions are not in the best interest of the country, and they are certainly not in the best interest of Alabama. As my Congressperson, I demand that you take a stand against this blatant power grab. Will you defend democracy, or will you allow this country to be handed over to those who see it as nothing more than a tool for their own enrichment? The people of Alabama deserve leadership that puts them first, not silence in the face of authoritarianism. I urge you to speak out and take meaningful action to protect our democracy and the people you were elected to serve. I look forward to your response.
