An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Defend democracy against authoritarian agenda; obstruct until constitutionality restored.

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Democrats must take decisive action to protect our democracy from the unconstitutional power grab by Trump and Musk. This authoritarian agenda undermines the foundations of our government and threatens the rights of all Americans. We cannot allow their cruel, corrupt, and unpopular policies to continue unchecked. Senate Democrats should employ every procedural tool at their disposal to grind the legislative process to a halt until this crisis is resolved. Take a cue from Mitch McConnell's playbook - wield Senate rules as a weapon and obstruct in unified opposition. Confirm no more of Trump's nominees. Shut down business as usual until constitutional order is restored. The American people have not given this regime a mandate for its extreme actions. Democrats were elected as a check on abuses of power. Now is the time to honor that duty and fight with the same tenacity Republicans showed when they were the opposition. Our democracy depends on an unwavering commitment to its defense against authoritarianism. Delay, obstruct, resist - do whatever is necessary through lawful means to stop this coup until it is thwarted. The nation is counting on strong Democratic leadership in this perilous moment.
