An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Restore democratic integrity, halt illegal fund seizure by Trump

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The actions taken by Elon Musk and the Trump administration to seize $80 million in federal aid intended for housing migrants in New York City raise serious legal and ethical concerns. This unilateral decision undermines the authority of Congress, which had properly appropriated these funds, and disregards the due process required for such actions. It is unacceptable for a private individual or administration to bypass established procedures and confiscate funds already allocated for a specific purpose determined by lawmakers. This breach of protocol sets a dangerous precedent that threatens the foundation of our democratic system of checks and balances. It is crucial that all branches of government, including the executive and judiciary, work to uphold the rule of law and prevent such abuses of power. We cannot allow personal agendas or ideological motivations to take precedence over the principles enshrined in our Constitution. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate these events thoroughly and hold those responsible accountable. The misappropriation of funds intended for vulnerable populations is a grave injustice that cannot be tolerated. It is imperative that we restore the integrity of our democratic institutions and ensure that the will of the people, as expressed through their elected representatives, is respected and upheld. History will remember those who stood by saying intervention oversteps their roles as Trump and his associates continue to stomp on the throats of Americans. Do something now. Trump and Musk must be removed from any position of power and have any and all privileges to our democracy revoked. Prison is not too much to ask after less than a month of this madness. Don't let this continue.
