An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Help Us! Your Inaction Is Fueling Economic Collapse!

24 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Under President Trump’s Administrations, this country is being shoved headfirst into economic chaos and democratic decay, and you are standing by as if this is just another news cycle. It is not. It is a full-blown failure of governance—and your fingerprints are all over it. By your own data and this administration’s metrics, trade insecurity has exploded by up to 94%. Supply chains are unraveling. Prices are skyrocketing. Wages are stagnant. Rent is unreachable. Health care is a luxury. Grocery bills are gutting families who are already working themselves to exhaustion just to survive. Millions of Americans are doing everything “right” and still sinking. That is not an economy under strain—it is an economy being deliberately mismanaged. Let’s be clear: this crisis is not inevitable. It is manufactured. The President governs through chaos, threats, and reckless impulse—torching trade relationships, antagonizing allies, and destabilizing markets with zero regard for consequences. This is not “strength.” It is incompetence dressed up as bravado, and real people are paying for it every single day. And Congress? You issue statements. You hold performative hearings. You wring your hands while doing nothing. You are not a ceremonial body. You are not political commentators. You are a co-equal branch of government, and your refusal to act is a dereliction of duty. Oversight is not optional. Intervention is not radical. Checking a failing president is literally your constitutional job. Use your powers. Pass corrective legislation. Block destructive policies. Stabilize trade. Defend working people. If you cannot act when Americans cannot afford housing, food, or medical care, then stop pretending you represent them at all. History will remember this moment—and it will not be kind to lawmakers who chose cowardice, silence, or political convenience while the country slid into crisis. The American people are not asking for speeches or slogans. We are demanding accountability, competence, and immediate action. This insanity must stop. Do your jobs. Act like the Constitution requires it.
