Trump & Musk Are Gutting Government—Act Now

I am writing to express my deep concern over the reckless and unconstitutional purge of federal agencies under Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s direction. The mass removal of federal employees is not a responsible way to reform government—it is chaotic, short-sighted, and deeply damaging to our nation. If Congress does not step in immediately, we risk the collapse of essential government functions that protect Americans, advance medical research, and keep our country running. Rather than working with agency leaders and Congress to identify inefficiencies and improve government operations, Trump and Musk have instead chosen to indiscriminately slash federal jobs with no clear plan or understanding of the consequences. Musk has no experience in public service or knowledge of what these agencies do, yet he has been granted extraordinary influence over decisions that impact millions of Americans. This is not governance—it is sabotage. Federal employees are the backbone of our country’s most critical functions. They ensure food and water safety, oversee disaster response, safeguard national security, and lead life-saving medical research. Without them, veterans lose access to care, Social Security benefits are delayed, and public health initiatives falter. This mass purge is not about making government more efficient—it is about consolidating power and dismantling the very institutions that serve the American people. Beyond the immediate disruption, this reckless approach to federal staffing is demoralizing for the dedicated public servants who keep our country running. Gutting agencies without a plan drives away top talent, weakens national security, and reduces the government’s ability to respond effectively to crises. No responsible business would function this way—why should we allow our government to? Congress must act now to stop this dangerous purge. This is not reform; it is destruction. If there are inefficiencies in government, they should be addressed through a deliberate, bipartisan process—not through Musk’s uninformed, reckless dictates. Congress has the authority and responsibility to protect the integrity of our federal institutions. I urge you to take action before irreversible damage is done.
