Fight this coup!

To: Sen. Durbin, Sen. Duckworth, Rep. García

From: A constituent in Riverside, IL

February 13, 2025

Trump and Musk are staging a coup with the support of the Republican party, and we need you to fight it. Vote NO on any funding bill that doesn’t include ironclad protectio ns against Trump’s financial coup. Hold hearings and subpoena Musk and Vought to force Republicans to defend them on the record. Commit to using procedural tools to slow down House and Senate business and expose GOP complicity. Vote against every cabinet nominee because none of them are qualified to hold office. This is not the time for bipartisanship or fighting the small fights. If this coup isn't stopped, nothing else matters. This needs to be your sole focus until something changes. No compromises. We may sometimes feel safe as a blue state, but it won't be long until even the protections we have in Illinois are stolen from us by the Trump/Musk regime. Please stand up for America and fight for us with everything you have.
