UPDATE (7/12/26): Although Trump has accused the lack of election integrity as the reason for his losing the 2020 election, he just fired the remaining leadership of the bipartisan U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). This is viewed by many as a deliberate effort by the Trump administration to undermine and delegitimize the nation's upcoming elections.
The EAC is a bipartisan agency created by congress in 2002 in response to the widespread voting controversies during the 2000 presidential election. It is created to be a balanced 4-person commission with only 2 members from any party. It was created to help ensure future election integrity. This is the agency that develops voting systems, certifies equipment, tests and certifies voting hardware and software, distributes funds to states and maintains the national voting by mail registration.
Without this agency, the system is more likely to be compromised and there are more reasons for Trump to cry foul if his party loses. This cannot be allowed. Trump must be removed from power to stop him from continuing to assault our democracy, but it will require putting pressure on Republicans to make it happen.

UPDATE (6/26/26): When a president makes essential government functions conditional on specific legislative demands, it undermines the separation of powers. This is an impeachable act and considered to fit within the definition of "High Crimes and Misdemeanors".
President Donald Trump is holding the 21st Century Road to Housing Act—a major, bipartisan housing affordability bill—hostage by refusing to sign it until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act. This is an overt attempt to extort lawmakers into fulfilling his agenda desires and unrelated to the bill itself. He is doing the same with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reauthorization, and he is also actively withholding the nomination of someone to lead the intelligence community as an explicit leverage tool in his legislative standoff.
We must demand congress does their job and holds him accountable and not let up until they do. This means calling more, emailing more, and letting them know that we will support the opponent of anyone who fails to put this country ahead of the whims of a wanna be dictator. Momentum has begun to shift, and if we continue to follow this track, our momentum and strength will only build.
Consider contacting republicans from other jurisdictions and letting them know that you will support their opponents through contributions from afar if they do not shape up. See below for a list of Republicans who are most likely to be swayed.
ORIGINAL TEXT
To be "presidential" means to display the dignity, composure, and leadership befitting the highest office of a nation. It implies acting with statesmanship rather than partisanship, maintaining a calm demeanor under pressure, and inspiring public trust.
Instead, President Trump has run our country like a crime boss, not like the leader of the free nation and someone our children should look up to.
Recently, with his Anti-Weaponization Fund, he sent a signal to all who would commit crimes to support him that he will not only pardon them, he will pay them handsomely with taxpayer money.
Here are the facts:
The details of the settlement will make you sick! They include the following:
No matter how this turns out, Trump sent a signal with this effort to all who would commit crimes in his name that he will not only pardon them, he will seek to pay them with taxpayer money!
This must end, and the only way to end it is to Impeach Trump Now!
To support election integrity & the separation of powers, impeachment may be required. In order to get an impeachment started, we must first cross the hurdle of a simple majority vote to impeach in the House. Rather than restrict your calls and emails to your own district, it is time we go national.
If you want to go the extra mile, it is time you urge Republicans who might be swayed to support impeachment. This includes ones from outside your jurisdiction. Below is a list of Republicans who are running for re-election. These are people who have have publicly shown a willingness to oppose or criticize Donald Trump in the past.
It is time to contact them and announce your intention to support their opponents if they do not stand up for the constitution and the separation of powers. It is time we tell them they must move to impeach Trump in order to support democracy.
· Rep. David Valadao (R-CA)
· Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY)
· Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
· Rep. Tom Barrett (R-MI)
· Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH)
Here is a script you can consider using when making your calls or sending your emails to the above Republican representatives. Below you will find directions of what to do including a link that will help you get the contact information for representatives.
Script to Consider for Calls and Emails:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [City, State].
Our president has not been running our country with the integrity and devotion to democracy and the constitution required of any president, and he has worked to divide us as a nation.
You took an oath to uphold the constitution and defend democracy. You cannot defend Trump's actions and democracy at the same time.
This must stop and it seems there is not path to stopping this unless he is removed from office. Please strongly consider impeaching Trump. Most of the nation is ready for this, as am I.
I am counting on you to do your job and am willing to support your opponents from afar if you are not willing to put our country ahead of the whims of Trump.
[Your name]
