An Open Letter

To: Sen. Cantwell, Rep. Newhouse, Sen. Murray

From: A constituent in Yakima, WA

June 4

Cancel the IRS immunity clause for Trump and his family and his companies. Not only is that highly suspect and corrupt, we know the Trump organization defrauded childhood cancer funding. This shows they cannot be trusted and are without morals, they should be investigated by the IRS. Even asking for that immunity is suspicious. ICE’s increased funding to 85 billion is enough to make high ed free nationwide. Trump spent $101.2 million dollars golfing, travel, and security expenses so far in his second term. That’s enough to eliminate all school lunch debt. The money spent on Trump’s aggression toward Iran could fund Bernie Sanders universal college. The billion dollars for the ballroom Trump wants after he destroyed the east wing of the people’s house could have been used to replace lead pipes in Flint, Newark, and many other places to keep people safe from lead exposure. The funding of grants for health centers and staff is the same cost as 5-6 military jets. The USA got 60-90 new jets in 2025. The slush fund for January 6 insurrectionists (who should all be in jail, all of them) could have been used to fund food stamps for women and children. Instead 5.4 million families have had their food stamps and access to food cut. The $100 million environmental Justice program that helped communities impacted by pollution was cut for Trump’s egomaniac arc. This administration prioritizes itself over people, itself over ethics and morals, over pretty much everything else. You need to fight them and keep fighting.
