The nominees proposed for key positions in the Trump administration raise grave concerns about their qualifications, integrity, and commitment to upholding democratic values. Many appointees appear to have been selected primarily for their unwavering loyalty to Trump rather than their readiness to faithfully execute the duties of their respective offices. Linda McMahon, the proposed Secretary of Education, faces allegations of sexual misconduct involving minors, a disqualifying factor for overseeing the nation's education system. Elise Stefanik's role in amplifying disinformation about the 2020 election undermines her credibility to serve as UN Ambassador, a position demanding adherence to truth and global cooperation. Such nominees threaten to erode institutional safeguards, enable partisan overreach, and undermine public trust in government. I urge you to exercise your constitutional obligation of advice and consent judiciously. Reject nominees whose values, background, or conduct demonstrate unfitness for the offices they have been nominated to lead. Preserve the independence and integrity of these vital public institutions by demanding appointees of unimpeachable character and proven competence.
