An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend Our Constitution and Reign in Trump’s Dangerous Behavior

21 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing out of deep alarm over the ongoing erosion of our democracy and international standing under President Trump’s reckless and illegal behavior. Congress has a constitutional duty to act as a check on executive power. Right now, you are failing to rein in conduct that is both dangerous and embarrassing to the United States. This administration has turned to AI-generated propaganda and outlandish memes as its preferred method of political communication. While some may dismiss this as trivial, it is not. The constant stream of manipulated content, designed to inflame rather than inform, damages our credibility and makes America look unstable and unserious to the rest of the world. Allies who once relied on us for leadership are abandoning us because they see chaos where there should be steady governance. Even more concerning, this administration seems ready to ignore or break international laws whenever convenient—whether through extrajudicial military actions, disregard for treaties, or attacks on global institutions of justice. Such actions not only put our nation at risk of isolation, they also embolden authoritarian regimes who thrive when the United States undermines the very norms we once championed. Congress must stand up—now. I urge you to: 1. Defend the Constitution by restoring proper checks on presidential authority. 2. Investigate and challenge propaganda campaigns that manipulate the public and discredit our nation abroad. 3. Hold the administration accountable for violations of domestic and international law. 4. Put country before party and show the world that America values truth, stability, and justice over political expedience. History will judge whether Congress acted with courage during this dangerous moment. Please, put America first—before it is too late.
