I am writing to demand immediate action in response to the blatant and dangerous coup being carried out by co-Presidents Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Their authoritarian power grab is an assault on American democracy, and your silence—or worse, complicity—is unacceptable. Alabama’s people deserve leaders who will stand up for their freedoms, not bow to a regime that is dismantling our institutions and replacing them with a corrupt, extremist dictatorship. The actions of this administration echo some of history’s darkest moments, and yet Congress is failing to act with the urgency this crisis demands. What will you do to protect the people of Alabama from this growing threat? Will you stand with democracy, or will you enable this authoritarian takeover? The time for vague statements and empty gestures is over—we need action. I urge you to take a stand against this coup before it is too late. I expect a response outlining what concrete steps you are taking to defend the Constitution and the rights of the people you were elected to serve.
