An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Take back Congressional powers NOW to check Trump's rampage of distraction

220 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

It's time to reclaim the powers assigned to Congress by the constitution: you have fecklessly ceded the powers of appropriations, tariffs, war powers to the executive branch; Congress is also failing to conduct oversight. Anyone can see that Trump would have hastened to release the Epstein files if they were exonerating to him. Instead, the parade of distractions and extreme attempts to pressure house members to remove their names from the discharge petition proclaims Trump's entanglement. At the very least, he knew of Epstein's activities committing sexual crimes against children and shielded him; if that was all he did, it should be grounds for removal from office. If he was complicit in ways up to legal jeopardy, then he should be removed from office. It is an absolute monstrosity that Epstein's victims have been denied justice. Why did Mike Johnson violate the democratic rights of Adelita Grivalja's constituents? Cancel house business for the longest shutdown ever to delay that discharge petition. You surely know that Trump will now do anything to prevent the release of those files. Anything: including starting a war with Venezuela. --already the extrajudicial killings of Venezuelans are a crime. And the pretexts--are based on blatant lies. I'm asking you to take back congressional powers and hold Trump in check. I'm demanding the release of the Epstein files and justice and accountability. Trump needs to be impeached for numerous high crimes and misdemeanours. Even if you are -- wrongly-- not ready to honor your oath to the constitution by impeaching and convicting him-- you should be preventing him from doing lawless attention grabbing acts of violence as a way to distract from the Epstein files. Trump is acting as if the files will be damaging to him. Do not permit him to indulge in a rampage of desperate and destructive ploys of distraction.
