An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop the tyranny! I am outraged by Trump's illegal cut to federal aid.

109 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Freezing all federal aid. Why? This is not only catastrophically cruel and disruptive, it is illegal and it is tyranny. Remember you work for us and your duty is to the constitution. Please to speak out against Trump's actions on Monday freezing all federal aid. This is unambiguously illegal; the Executive Branch can't unilaterally decide to ignore laws that were passed by Congress, especially when it comes to financial aid. You swore an oath to the constitution: honor that oath. You must take action. Please reply to let me know how will stop the freeze and ensure that the millions who are directly impacted by financial aid will not be harmed. Trump has committed a continuous series of actions that are illegal cruel and harmful. Do I need to remind you about the illegality of leaving the WHO? The harm and stupidity of strangling the NIH? The contempt for the rule of law evinced by pardoning January 6th domestic terrorists? The danger and folly of making statements about Panama, Greenland and Canada that show his hunger for territorial acquisition? The illegality of sacking inspector generals without following the law of 2022 that mandates a procedure? This kind of tyranny by an executive is exactly why the 13 colonies rebelled against King George III; the aim of preventing it is enshrined in the constitution. Understand the threat. Do your job.
