Not sure a "strongly worded letter" is the action required here.... as an outsider.
Is... wait a minute... is this report indicating that Democrats sent a strongly worded letter? In response to beyond-Watergate-level corruption?
Is that what we are down to, now? Strongly worded letters?

Don’t offer your condolences, offer your voice. Right now tons of federal employees are behind frightened and need your help. Keep the dialog going on what’s happening.

So.
It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.
I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

If you want to read the book apparently all the New York Times tech reporters are talking about today—by way of asking, “Seth Abramson wrote a book?” and “What's Google?” and “Can I learn about what books authors wrote using the Google?”—it’s below. (Odd how many NYT employees hate NYT bestsellers.)
Proof of Destruction: The Musk Insurrection As It Happened (Book 1, The Musk Trilogy)
Elon Musk’s insurrection is the worst attack on our government since the Civil War. What’s being done by unelected rogue operators in D.C. is an assault on democracy more dangerous than January 6.

"We [the Executive Branch] *are* the federal law" is a dark horse candidate for most Hitlerian Trump quote from 2025.
Surprised this did not get even more media coverage and provoke even more outrage.
The literal, actual truth, of course, is that the federal government has three co-equal branches.

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,..."
This is about as unambiguous as any law can be.
Trump - person (ikik)
Elected twice? ✅️
Conclusion: Can't be on the ballot in 2028
This isn't rocket science.
