Failure of Congressional Oversight and Accountability

To: Sen. Ricketts, Sen. Fischer, Rep. Bacon

From: A constituent in Omaha, NE

March 2

To the Members of the House of Representatives, I am writing out of deep frustration and anger at what I see as a complete failure of congressional oversight. You have a constitutional duty to hold the President accountable, regardless of party. Instead, many of you have enabled behavior that has damaged public trust, undermined institutions, and divided this country even further. That is not leadership. That is abdication of responsibility. From the actions and conduct of ICE, to the continued lack of transparency surrounding the Epstein files, to now the escalation toward war with Iran—these are not minor policy disagreements. These are matters of profound national and moral consequence. No one I know asked for this chaos, secrecy, and brinkmanship. Congress is not a rubber stamp. It is a co-equal branch of government designed to provide oversight and protect the American people from executive overreach. When you fail to act, you become complicit in the consequences of that inaction. History will judge this moment. So will voters. Do your job. Put the Constitution above party. Put the country above politics. And start acting like the representatives you were elected to be.
