As for the deficit, for every single dollar the federal government brought in via taxes and tariffs last year, 2025, it spent roughly $1.34. I have no idea what it will look like for 2026. 🤦‍♀️

Relying on political norms is no longer sufficient to protect public funds. I am asking you to turn these boundaries into hard federal law. Please reply to this letter detailing your specific stance on these four reforms and what actions you are taking to close these executive spending loopholes.

Fast-Track Standing to Sue: Pass a permanent statute granting Congress immediate legal standing to sue the executive branch over funding diversions, with a mandate for federal courts to fast-track these injunctions within days, not years.

If officials face personal liability, they will refuse to execute unlawful orders.

Hyper-Specific Appropriations: Stop passing broadly worded "lump-sum" agency budgets that allow administrations to siphon money into personal projects. All future appropriations bills must explicitly bind funds to narrow, pre-approved projects.

The executive branch must be forced to prove its spending is legal before a single dollar leaves the treasury.

Mandatory, Automatic Spending Freezes: Introduce legislation that automatically freezes an agency's discretionary funding the moment the Government Accountability Office (GAO) flags a potential unauthorized expenditure.

As my elected representative, I expect you to proactively protect the Power of the Purse granted to Congress under Article I of the Constitution. I urge you to co-sponsor and vote for structural legislation that includes the following four critical reforms:

I am alarmed by the recent trend of the executive branch bypassing the explicit will of Congress to fund unauthorized, high-cost projects and commercial spectacles using public funds. Simply waiting to vote an administration out after public funds have already been misused is entirely unacceptable.

It's not really a deal. It's some kind of cease fire or memorandum of understanding. Absolutely bs.

They have unlimited funds to cause delays and run out the clocks. I don't think prosecution will work. Monetary punishment would be the most painful for them. Not exactly sure how to implement that but that's what I'm thinking.
