Stop the coup. Keep your oath. DOGE are digital terrorists doing crime We are in the middle of a coup. This president has been violating the constitution and failing to see that the laws are faithfully executed. Cuts to federal aid, to U.S. aid, firing federal employees without correct procedures, attacking DEI and enabling pollution, proposals to gut Medicare and Medicaid , weather information and disease information pulled from the net. What is the point? Employment has already plummeted. We've had more air traffic incidents in 3 weeks than the past 16 years. Cutting Medicare and Medicaid and snap will cause people to lose essential care and to be hungry and badly nourished.-- in one of the richest nations on earth. Why? Why? To give a few oligarchs a tax cut? How can you go home after work and know that this government is actively making people's lives worse and causing suffering. Why? Is that what you were elected to do? You took a solemn path and you were elected by constituents whom you should serve--and be honored to serve. Listen to your colleague Angus King: "King reminded his colleagues that they had taken an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic” and noted that the Framers recognized there could be domestic enemies to the Constitution. “Our oath was not to the Republican Party, not to the Democratic Party, not to Joe Biden, not to Donald Trump,” King said, “but…to defend the Constitution.” “And…right now—literally at this moment—that Constitution is under the most direct and consequential assault in our nation's history,” King said. “An assault not on a particular provision but on the essential structure of the document itself.” WHY are you allowing the constitution's foundational principles and detailed provisions to be shredded? DOGE is not a legitimate agency. It's a cadre of digital domestic terrorists breaking laws with every action. America's foes are delighted. Why are you doing Putin' work? Stop this coup now. No regular business, no. No nominees. Do the job you were elected to do. --Hint: it is not toadying to and enabling a tyrant. Please reply in writing to let me know you take your oath to uphold and defend the constitution as a binding obligation. https://resist.bot/petitions/PKJJPJ
