Subject: Defending Judicial Independence and Government Accountability Elon Musk is pushing to impeach a federal judge for blocking the administration’s attempt to use the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act for rapid deportations—an alarming attack on judicial independence. Instead of upholding the court’s ruling, Trump ignored it entirely, yet Musk is targeting the judiciary rather than defending the rule of law. No one is above the law, and our system was designed to prevent any one person from holding unchecked power. Undermining the courts sets a dangerous precedent that threatens democracy itself. At the same time, Musk’s businesses continue to benefit from billions in taxpayer-funded government contracts. If everyday Americans are expected to succeed without special advantages, why should billionaires be any different? Public funds should serve the public good, not private interests. I urge you to stand against attacks on judicial independence and demand accountability for those who undermine our institutions.
