An open letter to the U.S. Congress

STOP THE COUP. Impounding congressional spending is illegal

8 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

STOP tolerating illegal impoundment of congressionally appropriated funds! Stop the coup now. Remind your colleagues that the law applies to them and that the president must see that the laws are faithfully enforced or face impeachment. I am incensed at the way GOP members are tolerating illegal executive orders and illegal interference with federal spending being done by King Musk's domestic digitised terrorists. Doge is NOT A LEGITIMATE government agency. If rooting out alleged corruption were really an issue, Trump shouldn't have illegally fired 17 IGs or let Vought try to shutter the CFPB. Speaker Mike Johnson knows that impounding funds appropriated by Congress violates Article I of the Constitution and the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. You swore to uphold and defend the constitution. So did he. Robert Hubbell reminds us: Recent court orders are narrowly tailored to restrain the illegitimate exercise of power by Trump. Johnson’s recent "comment was meant to signal that House Republicans would not object to their neutering by Trump. Indeed, the fact that Johnson used “we” (“What we’re doing”) shows that House Republicans are co-conspirators in the coup." Stop the coup. Do not tolerate impounding of Congressionally appropriated funds. Why does the law of contracts apply to you when you sell your house or car and can expect the buyer to pay you, or when you make a purchase and not to congress? I am sure you do not walk out of the store without paying for your groceries? We expect the laws to apply to all. Stop this illegality. Time to impeach Trump and depose unelected the dictatorship of Elon Musk. Refer Musk and Vought to law enforcement and for impeachment: You work for us and you swore an oath to the constitution. Do your job, stop the coup.
