You Are Letting Corruption Run the Country

To: Sen. Schmitt, Sen. Hawley, Rep. Onder

From: A constituent in Columbia, MO

October 28, 2025

He is grifting in plain sight, and you sit there pretending not to see it. He’s selling access, auctioning public trust, and converting federal power into a personal cash machine. Sponsorships of White House events. Federal properties up for sale. Public institutions turned into campaign props. Every one of these abuses happens because Congress refuses to act. You’ve become spectators to corruption, too timid to confront it, too focused on party loyalty to protect the republic. He defies court orders, manipulates markets, and weaponizes the Department of Justice for revenge. He dismantles the agencies that keep Americans safe — food safety, disease control, environmental protection — because oversight interferes with profit. He’s strip-mining public lands, threatening to exploit international seabeds, and extorting resources from allies and rivals alike. These are not policies; they are rackets carried out under the cover of your silence. He hands unelected oligarchs access to government data while breaking faith with our allies and shredding America’s credibility abroad. Every day you fail to confront him, you make that betrayal bipartisan. You have weakened global confidence in this country because you will not do your job. Here’s the only language you seem to understand: poll numbers. Even among Republicans, they’re collapsing. You are backing a losing, corrupt project that is poisoning the country you swore to defend. You have 135 days of failure behind you already, and America cannot survive four years of this. Stand up. Speak out. Use the power you have before there’s nothing left to defend. Your silence is not caution — it is consent. And history will treat it as complicity in the destruction of the American experiment.
