You Work for Us, Not Donald Trump — End the Shutdown Now

I am writing to express my deep frustration and concern over the ongoing government shutdown and its devastating impact on hardworking Americans — the very people you all promised to fight for. Every day this shutdown drags on, families across this nation are forced to wonder how they will pay for life’s necessities — food, rent, medication, and other essentials. Many are already living paycheck to paycheck, and this unnecessary political standoff is pushing them to the brink. Let me remind you: you do not work for Donald Trump. You work for the American people. Yet by allowing him to dictate the terms of our democracy like some modern-day Marie Antoinette — indifferent to the suffering of millions as long as he can hold court in his White House ballroom and travel by private jet — you are betraying your oath and your duty. We deserve leaders who act like adults, not hostages to one man’s ego. The American people are exhausted by this chaos. It’s time to come back to the table, talk like rational adults, and find common ground that puts people first — not political gamesmanship. End this shutdown. Stop holding America hostage. Start doing the work you were elected to do.
