I am writing to urge you, as a Member of Congress, to use every constitutional tool at your disposal to rein in an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime before its escalating abuses cause irreparable harm to our democracy, the rule of law, and global stability. You possess constitutional tools created for exactly this scenario: oversight hearings, subpoenas, inherent contempt, appropriations authority, enforcement of statutory mandates—including the Epstein Files Transparency Act—and, where warranted, impeachment. These are not radical measures. They are the ordinary defenses of a republic under extraordinary assault. History will not ask whether action was convenient. It will ask whether Congress upheld the Constitution when an authoritarian regime tested its limits—and went too far.
