This has got to stop.

baronessekatI need to express my growing outrage at the way that the President and the Republicans in Congress are systematically destroying our country and ignoring the Constitution that they swore an oath to protect.
Why is no one stopping them from following the rules? Executive Orders are not law, yet they are acting as if they are. Why are they permitted to ignore the rulings of the Federal Judges?
And why are they allowing an unelected, unapproved, unvetted person to dictate how the various Departments of Government are to operate, especially when everything that is being decided on is to his benefit?
Elon Musk stood in the Oval Office for a press conference, behind the President with clear body language that the President is nothing more than a puppet doing his will. Even Elon’s child looked at the President and told him to shut his mouth and that he wasn’t the real President. There is only one way this child would have that belief – he was told that.
This needs to stop. People around the world and here in the United States are suffering and dying because of arbitrary decisions that this man and his “employees” make. This is only going to get worse.
Yes, I call, email and use the forms on my Senators and Representatives websites daily. Each day covering a different topic of my concern. I will continue to do so. I am scared. But more so, I am ANGRY.
But I am not just angry at those in Washington who are doing this. I am FURIOUS at those who voted to put them there and are now claiming they didn't know, WE TOLD YOU. But you dismissed us as being "emotional Liberals" when in reality we are realists who have read a history book. We are the ones who read Project 2025. We are the ones who listened to all the words that were being said and not just the ones we wanted to hear. And it's too late for "I'm sorry".
If you are truly sorry, you need to do what others of us are doing - educate yourself on the issues. This means research beyond the talking heads on the TV and Social Media (like me). Read the Constitution. Go to Congress.gov and read the bills that are being put before the House and Senate (make sure you are reading the ones for the 119th Congress). Read the daily updates of the Executive Orders, Memorandum, and Proclamations that are on Whitehouse.gov. If you don't understand what is being said, ask! Talk to others and learn. And then, call and write your Congressional members.
Our forefathers fought to enshrine the words of the Constitution. In just three weeks domestic tranquility, general welfare and the liberty of the people have been destroyed. In just three weeks, it appears we are coming closer and closer to vacating the idea of common defense as the President continues to ostracize our allies, insult our closest neighbors and make deals with dictators.
I, and the people of the United States, need Congress to do more than sternly worded letters of condemnation and holding press conferences. We need them to stop this madness and they need to know you are demanding them to so so.
