Trump’s reliance on unitary executive theory ignores legal precedent and threatens constitutional democracy. Courts have repeatedly rejected unchecked executive power. 🚨 #ConstitutionMatters

Efficiency in government is important, but sacrificing legality for speed undermines democracy. If you see proposals for a DOGE-like agency, look for these legal red flags. We must hold government accountable, not just make it “efficient.”
