I am deeply concerned about recent actions by President Donald Trump in 2025 that threaten our democracy and international relationships:
1. Dismissal of Oversight Officials: Terminated 17 inspectors general and senior military legal advisors without proper Congressional notification, undermining accountability.
2. Expansion of Executive Power: Issued executive orders increasing presidential control over independent agencies, challenging constitutional checks and balances.
3. Strained International Relations: Engaged in confrontations with European allies, notably a public clash with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, damaging diplomatic ties.
4. Withdrawal from International Organizations: Announced plans to exit key UN organizations, signaling a retreat from global cooperation.
5. Undermining Democratic Institutions: Actions perceived as threats to free elections, the rule of law, and anti-corruption efforts.
6. Politicization of the Judiciary: Accused of using the judicial system to target political opponents, compromising judicial impartiality.
7. Mishandling Sensitive Information: Allegations of inadequate protection of classified data, risking national security.
8. Financial Opacity: Involvement in cryptocurrency and social media ventures raising concerns about potential money laundering.
9. Intimidation of Opponents: Use of slander and bullying tactics against critics, stifling open debate.
10. Dissemination of Misinformation: Consistent provision of misleading information to the public, eroding trust in government.
I urge you to take action to uphold our democratic principles and international standing.
