This is an urgent and unequivocal demand to every sitting member of Congress—regardless of party affiliation—to act immediately in response to a constitutional emergency. President Donald J. Trump, along with members of his cabinet and administration, is actively defying court orders, obstructing congressional oversight, and violating the fundamental checks and balances that protect our republic. These actions are not isolated or theoretical—they are deliberate and escalating attacks on democratic governance. Congress is a co-equal branch of government, not a bystander. The Executive Branch is treating lawful oversight and judicial authority with contempt. If Congress fails to respond forcefully, you will be complicit in the destruction of constitutional order. You are hereby called to act. The following actions must be undertaken without delay: 1. Initiate and enforce contempt proceedings against any Executive Branch official who refuses to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas or oversight obligations. 2. Cut off funding for agencies and offices that are weaponized to protect presidential power instead of serving the public good or respecting constitutional boundaries. 3. Pursue criminal referrals and enforcement through the courts when the Department of Justice fails to act due to political obstruction. 4. Reassert the authority of the Legislative Branch by codifying guardrails against presidential overreach—particularly in the areas of emergency powers, pardon authority, and enforcement of Supreme Court rulings. 5. Hold emergency hearings and investigations into the ongoing defiance of judicial and congressional authority, and use inherent contempt powers if necessary. 6. Protect whistleblowers and civil servants who expose illegal or unconstitutional actions within the Executive Branch. 7. Publicly and unequivocally denounce any attempt by the President to place himself above the law, ignore Supreme Court rulings, or use federal resources for personal or political protection. This is not a matter of ideology—it is a matter of survival for the republic. If Congress cannot or will not respond to a rogue Executive that ignores the law, the system of checks and balances is dead. We are then no longer governed by laws, but by power alone. The stakes could not be higher. The American people are watching. Your oath is to the Constitution—not to a party, a president, or a political future. History will record how you responded to this moment. Act now. Use every constitutional tool available to hold this lawless administration accountable and restore the balance of power.
