Congress Must Rein In an Out-of-Control Authoritarian Regime Text SIGN PHNNKH to 50409 — I am writing to urge you, as a Member of Congress, to use every constitutional tool at your disposal to rein in an increasingly authoritarian Trump regime before its escalating abuses cause irreparable harm to our democracy, the rule of law, and global stability.
We are living through a deliberate split-screen strategy. On the domestic front, the Trump regime is on a historic losing streak—losing in the courts, in Congress, at the ballot box, and in the streets. Public sentiment has turned decisively against ICE abuses and in favor of immigrants, civil liberties, and peaceful protest. The killing of Renee Nicole Good has become a moral and political turning point, galvanizing opposition nationwide.
Rather than respond with accountability, the regime has doubled down—slandering the victim, refusing to investigate the ICE officer who killed her, escalating raids, and tolerating tactics that violate the most basic protections of the Fourth Amendment. The Department of Justice’s reported refusal to investigate the killing has already led to resignations by senior DOJ attorneys, deepening a crisis of credibility inside an institution that should be defending the rule of law, not subverting it.
At the same time, the Trump regime is attempting to divert attention abroad—threatening or attacking Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, Iran, Greenland, and even NATO allies. This belligerence is not strength; it is distraction. As domestic authority erodes, the regime is leaning into the one arena where U.S. power is overwhelming: military force. This recklessness risks unauthorized wars, humanitarian catastrophe, and the collapse of long-standing alliances—none of it approved by Congress, none of it constitutional.
The pattern is unmistakable: as losses mount at home, aggression abroad increases.
Domestically, the regime continues to weaponize federal power. Its criminal investigation of Jerome Powell is a clear act of retaliation for refusing to subordinate monetary policy to presidential demands. The Federal Reserve’s independence exists precisely to prevent political manipulation of the economy. Undermining it has already rattled markets and threatens the financial security of millions of Americans.
Courts are pushing back. States and cities are pushing back. Even members of the president’s own party are pushing back—through discharge petitions, public statements, and resistance to further consolidation of power. The Trump regime has failed to fully capture the courts, the states, Congress, or the information ecosystem. That window of resistance still exists—but it is closing.
Congress was designed for moments like this.
You possess constitutional tools created for exactly this scenario: oversight hearings, subpoenas, inherent contempt, appropriations authority, enforcement of statutory mandates—including the Epstein Files Transparency Act—and, where warranted, impeachment. These are not radical measures. They are the ordinary defenses of a republic under extraordinary assault.
Millions of Americans are doing their part through peaceful, visible protest. Now Congress must do yours.
History will not ask whether action was convenient. It will ask whether Congress upheld the Constitution when an authoritarian regime tested its limits—and went too far. https://resist.bot/petitions/PHNNKH
