I have a lot to say, so I’ll talk slowly so that you can take notes. I’m appalled at the wildly unconstitutional attacks on free speech carried out by the federal government in the past few weeks. The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is unconscionable, attacks on American universities are indefensible, and Trump’s petty retaliation against the AP over “Gulf of Mexico” language is simply embarrassing. And Elon Musk and DOGE’s occupation of USIP is nothing short of a fascist takeover. The Trump Administration should be held, as anyone should be, to the rulings of the courts and to the Constitution, and every moment you spend not ensuring such accountability is a terrible stain on your reputation and an embarrassment to your constituents. You’re doing a bad job in support of bad people and you should feel bad about it.
