Stop shrugging this off. While Americans are paying $4.10 a gallon for gas on Labor Day — up nearly a dollar from last year — the president is flooding social media with AI fantasies of nuclear mushroom clouds, territorial conquest, and himself as a "dark lord" captioned "THEY WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN." This is not trolling. This is a president who has stopped governing and started performing, and Congress is letting it happen.
Representative Chellie Pingree said it plainly: "Congress, the Cabinet, and everyone around him has a responsibility to stop enabling this dangerous behavior and start asking whether he is fit to hold office." She's right. Trump's approval on the economy is now 41 points underwater. His Energy Secretary can't say whether there will ever be a nuclear deal with Iran. And Trump himself has pocketed over two billion dollars in stock trades since taking office. These are not the actions of a functioning executive — they are the actions of someone who believes he is above accountability.
Your constitutional obligation does not pause because this is politically uncomfortable. I need you to use your oversight powers, speak publicly about what you are witnessing, and demand answers. The country is watching to see who has the courage to act.
