Tx Governor: Stand up Against Trump’s Disregard for Law & Order

I am writing to urge you to stand up against Donald Trump’s dangerous disregard for the Constitution, the judiciary, and the checks and balances that protect our democracy. Congress has failed to hold him accountable, but governors still have the power to push back against his abuses. We need leaders who will put country over loyalty to one man. There was a time when you governed with a more independent approach. Your expansion of mental health funding and efforts to address disaster preparedness after Hurricane Harvey were widely praised, even by those who do not always agree with your policies. But aligning with Trump’s increasingly authoritarian rhetoric is not leadership—it is enabling a dark and dangerous path for our country. Trump has gone too far. His attacks on judges, his attempts to dismantle oversight, and his blatant retaliation against those who disagree with him threaten the very foundation of our democracy. If someone in a position of power does not stand up, we risk losing the constitutional order that has defined this nation for centuries. I urge you to remember the values that Texas and America stand for—strong institutions, fair governance, and respect for the rule of law. Trump is leading this country down a dangerous path, and history will remember who had the courage to resist it. The question now is: Will you stand with the Constitution, or will you allow Trump to destroy it?
