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

Stop Trump’s Chaos—Uphold Law, Order, and Oversight

20 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The United States is not a reality TV show, yet President Trump is running the government as if it were—filled with chaos, impulsive decisions, and no accountability. His attempts to consolidate control over every federal agency, sideline oversight, and eliminate checks on his power are not just reckless; they are a direct threat to our constitutional democracy. I am urging you to stand up, defend the Constitution, and put an end to this dangerous instability before it irreparably damages our nation. Since returning to office, Trump has systematically dismantled oversight mechanisms that are essential to a functioning government. He has: • Interfered in the Department of Justice by pressuring prosecutors to drop cases against allies while targeting political opponents. The resignation of U.S. Attorney Samantha Sassoon after being ordered to drop a corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams is just one alarming example. • Gutted the civil service by purging career officials and replacing them with loyalists who will prioritize personal loyalty over national interest. His reinstatement of Schedule F, which strips job protections for thousands of federal workers, is designed to eliminate expertise and replace it with political operatives. • Ignored congressional oversight by refusing to comply with subpoenas, obstructing investigations, and using executive orders to bypass legislative authority. His administration has already signaled its intent to defy court orders and congressional inquiries, further eroding the balance of power. This level of unchecked power is not governance—it is authoritarianism. Trump’s erratic decision-making, prioritization of political drama over responsible leadership, and contempt for oversight will lead to diplomatic instability, economic uncertainty, and national security risks. We cannot allow the U.S. government to be run like a reality show where the only goal is loyalty to one man rather than service to the American people. Congress must act to restore oversight, enforce accountability, and protect the rule of law. I urge you to: 1. Reinstate protections for career civil servants to prevent Trump from politicizing every federal agency. 2. Strengthen congressional oversight to ensure the executive branch cannot operate with total impunity. 3. Hold Trump and his administration accountable for violations of law, obstruction of justice, and abuses of power. History will not be kind to those who stood by and watched as democracy unraveled. Now is the time to uphold the Constitution, law, and order—not enable Trump’s chaotic, self-serving agenda. I urge you to take immediate action to protect our country before it is too late.
