An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Now the Department of Education is being destroyed? Stop this illegal dismantling

49 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Why on earth are you letting this wholesale illegal destruction of government departments and agencies occur? Why are you letting Trump shred the constitutional powers of Congress? Is Trump as king? Is money your god? Do you approve of cutting veterans suicide prevention lines? Allowing children to be hungry in the richest country in the world? Putting profit before all human decency and virtue? I am OUTRAGED by the illegal destruction that Trump and Musk are perpetrating daily. I hope you are too. Because their illegal funding cuts have turned Congress into a constitutional nullity. Let's consider the Department of Education: Robert Hubbell writes: "On Wednesday, half of the Department of Education was laid off—in violation of civil service protections, congressional appropriations, and Article I of the Constitution. That mass layoff is a wholesale assault on the constitutional separation of powers and the authority of Congress. It is equal parts madness, chaos, and lawlessness." Do I need to tell you that Education is essential and that the DoE does essential work? Why aren't you stopping this madness? Don't leave it to the courts. Rein in this crime spree NOW. Find your courage. Think of what our armed forces face! Think of South Korea's members of parliament literally climbing walls. I am DISGUSTED by Congress's compliance with the destruction of our agencies, rights, and safety. DO YOUR JOB. Remember. You have tools. Use them all. Criminal and judicial referrals. Subpoenas and public questions under oath. Impeachment of federal officials. NO MORE UNANIMOUS CONSENT. Quorum counts. Filibuster. IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT. Complaining about decorum and respect for the office while illegal policies that bring chaos and deaths continue unchecked is ABHORRENT. You are fiddling while Rome burns. Rearranging the deck chairs in the titanic. History and your grandchildren (living in a barren polluted dictatorship with a culture of greed and nastiness that YOU brought about ) will despise your cowardice. Please reply in writing to let me know what actions you will take to support and defend the constitution and stop this illegal destruction.
