The following letter was sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Majority Leader Mike Johnson on December 9, 2025... not for partisan reasons, but out of genuine bewilderment.
We first published it on LinkedIn, and have since been encouraged to share it here.
You may not agree with every point, and we welcome your comments. However, we hope the overall message is clear:
None of this makes sense or is good for the country.

Dear Senator John Thune & Congressman Mike Johnson,
What is wrong with you? You know bombing boats in the Caribbean is murder, and only Congress can declare war. Throwing immigrants into unmarked vans is a police state. Shipping Venezuelans to CECOT was sadistic. Alligator Alcatraz is barbaric. Cutting food assistance is cruel. Affordability is not a hoax. The fentanyl emergency with Canada is a lie. Subsidizing farmers because tariffs send buyers elsewhere is half-witted. And surely you know that claiming foreigners pay those tariffs is a deception.
Mass deportations will sink the economy. Gutting consumer protections will spike predatory lending. Priority to Afrikaners over “garbage” Somalis is incredibly racist. Targeting transgender people is callous. Medicaid restrictions shutter hospitals. Ending ACA subsidies undermines everyone's healthcare. Lowering vaccine guidelines is crazy. RFK Jr is a wacko. Hegseth is incompetent. Patel is a poser. Bondi is a lackey. Noem is political theater. And Loomer as Pentagon press? You must know how absurd that is.
All gerrymandering is bad, Texas’ is worse. We already have election integrity. Restricting mail-in ballots is voter suppression. Idealogues replacing experts is dumb. Defunding science is self-defeating. Defunding mRNA research is idiotic. Pardoning January 6th offenders is offensive. Pardoning drug traffickers is appalling. Pardoning human traffickers is monstrous. And protecting Epstein accomplices? Repulsive.
Sabotaging electric cars equals China winning. Blocking windmills is backwards. Denying climate change is denial. Saving coal jobs is futile. Solar is the cheap energy you clamor for. Cutting pandemic preparedness is reckless. Slashing foreign aid is inhumane. Attacking allies is myopic. Siding with Putin is immoral. Bullying our USMCA partners is self-harm. And seriously, renaming the Gulf of Mexico?
Withholding federal funds for political payback is sinister. Investing federal funds in private companies is called socialism. Revoking a broadcast license over Kimmel is censorship. Civilian assault weapons are insane. National Guard troops policing cities is incitement. Political indictments are despotic. DOGE did irreparable damage. Qatar’s palace-in-the-sky is a bribe. The ballroom is ridiculous. Trump incited an insurrection. His coin, watch, phone, university and digital trading cards are hustles. And he is ludicrously corrupt.
You know all this. Where are the men who swore an oath to the Constitution and pledged to put country first? What happened to your integrity, your decency, your faith, your soul?
