Lawsuits-Lies-Lost Rights. A Presidency Built on Retaliation, Secrecy, and Spin

To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Moran, Sen. Cruz

From: A verified voter in Kilgore, TX

March 25

Since President Trump returned to office, his administration has revealed a disturbing pattern of recklessness, denial, retaliation, and gaslighting. It claims transparency yet offers no evidence, while rewriting history, silencing oversight, and undermining American institutions. Loyalty Over Competence: Cabinet Appointments • Appointed Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary leaked war plans via group chat. • JD Vance as Vice President—Trump calls him unqualified. • Tulsi Gabbard as DNI -loyalty, not credentials. • Gave other rolls to unqualified donors. • Created DOGE, led by Elon Musk when praised, Linda Gleason when legal issues arise. Governance & Data Security • NSC confirmed Officials used unsecured Signal chat for military planning. • DOGE employees granted access to sensitive and private citizen data without proper clearance or training. • DOGE’s activities remain undefined and chaotic. Claims of “billions saved” remain unverified. Military, Veterans • Section 88 used to purge “disloyal” troops—no appeals allowed. • Transgender troops removed; the government admitted it failed to review its own evidence. • Non-white, non-male service members erased from history in a “return to tradition.” Immigration & Human Rights • Invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport 238 migrants—including women and children. Trump later denied signing the order. • Family separations resumed. • Krome and other facilities face food, water, and medical shortages. • Ended the program tracking abducted Ukrainian children. • Legal foreign travelers detained for social media posts or texts critical of Trump. • USAID programs abruptly canceled—workers stranded, food rotting at ports, aid withheld. Judicial Retaliation • Trump praises judges who support him, smears those who don’t. • Revoked clearances of law firms tied to past investigations. • Congress launched hearings to discredit judges who uphold constitutional checks on executive power. Federal Overreach • Dismantled entire agencies via executive orders—bypassing Congress. • Replaced agency watchdogs with loyalists. • Fired civil servants en masse under vague “performance” claims. • Froze federal grants. • Over a 160 legal challenges to administration actions. Lies, Vanity & Gaslighting • Flooded Truth Social with selfies to promote a “better” portrait. • Celebrated winning his own golf tournament during a deadly storm and active airstrike. • Denies involvement in controversial orders until exposed. • Press Secretary Levitt regularly contradicts herself—repeating talking points, not truth. Foreign Policy Fumbles • Tariffs on again off again while blaming whoever signed USMCA(hint it was Trump.) • Foreign allies increasingly alarmed by the U.S. detaining lawful travelers for political expression. This PARTIAL list shows a coordinated assault on the rule of law, democratic norms, and public trust.
