From the Oval Office, Trump just told reporters "I can do whatever I want, if I want." That isn't reverence for the presidency. That's a man who believes power belongs to whoever holds it. You need to act on that — not issue a statement, not form a working group. Act.
This isn't a surprise. The Senate Judiciary Committee documented nine specific attempts by Trump to use the Department of Justice to overturn the 2020 election, concluding he "grossly abused the power of the presidency." That was 2021. We've had ten years of warnings, and the response from Congress has been to normalize, delay, and move on. That ends now. The cost of underreacting has been this: a president who says out loud that he can do anything he wants and believes it completely.
I'm a constituent and I'm watching. Do your job.
