I am writing to demand that you immediately and publicly condemn President Trump's pattern of hosting extravagant parties at Mar-a-Lago while Americans face unprecedented hardship and tragedy. Hours after Border Patrol agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, a VA nurse who dedicated their career to serving veterans, Trump hosted a lavish celebration at his private club complete with showgirls and elaborate entertainment. While a healthcare worker lay dead and their family began to grieve, the President was drinking champagne and enjoying ostentatious spectacles at his luxury resort. This is not merely poor optics. This is a moral failure that demands your immediate response. Your silence on this matter is unacceptable. Working Americans are struggling with rising costs, inadequate healthcare, and economic insecurity while the President throws party after party at his exclusive club. Healthcare workers like Alex Pretti serve our communities and veterans with dedication, only to be met with violence and indifference from the very government they support through their service. I expect you to take the following actions without delay. First, issue a public statement condemning these displays of excess and insensitivity. Second, demand a full investigation into the circumstances of Alex Pretti's death and the accountability of the agents involved. Third, commit to opposing any use of taxpayer resources that enable these events or the President's frequent trips to his private properties. Your constituents deserve representation that prioritizes their wellbeing over protecting a President who demonstrates such callous disregard for their suffering. I will be watching your response closely and will hold you accountable for whether you choose to stand with working families or remain complicit through silence. The time for carefully worded statements that say nothing is over. I demand action, and I demand it now.
