Last night Trump gave orders that violate the Constitution. As you know better than anyone, Congress has the power of the purse. Trump's illegal order trying to seize that power by freezing federal funding is a coup attempt to consolidate all power in the presidency and sideline Congress's powers. It will produce chaos and devastation across the nation and the world. We need you to act, immediately and strongly, against this lawless dictatorial act.
For the survival of democracy and the prevention of a dictatorship, we need every member of Congress not in Trump's pocket to stand up against this and take back its powers. This is an emergency.
Stop this slide into autocracy.
