I am writing to urge you to stay focused and strategic in the face of deliberate chaos designed to weaken our democracy. At a time when the foundations of our institutions are under attack, we cannot afford to be distracted by political theater and manufactured crises. Efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, gut Medicaid, and undermine the credibility of those who conduct critical research in medicine and therapeutics are not random policy debates; they are part of a broader agenda to erode public trust and dismantle the very structures that protect Americans. Instead of allowing immigration debates and border policies to be weaponized as distractions, we must ask ourselves: Who truly benefits from the destruction of our democracy? Is the goal to centralize power in the hands of one man? To undermine the rule of law until democracy is a relic of the past? These are the real questions we must confront. This is not about partisan politics; this is about the survival of the institutions that have safeguarded our freedoms for generations. Congress must think strategically, act decisively, and resist being manipulated by chaos. The American people are watching, and history will remember those who stood firm in defense of our democratic principles. I urge you to stay focused on the bigger picture—protect our institutions, defend the rule of law, and do not allow our democracy to be dismantled piece by piece.
