Summary
Democrats are ramping up opposition to Trump and Musk’s brazen assault on the federal government, which critics see as a constitutional crisis.
Protests erupted after Musk’s DOGE accessed taxpayer data, prompting Democratic lawmakers to pledge stronger resistance.
Senate Democrats staged an all-night protest against budget chief Russell Vought, while some senators vowed to block Trump’s nominees. Hakeem Jeffries introduced legislation to curb DOGE, as activists push for McConnell-style obstruction.
Nationwide protests and lawsuits signal a revived anti-Trump resistance.
Growing grassroots engagement and local officials taking steps to counter Trump’s agenda reflect intensifying opposition.
We’re going to be the opposition
Love the future tense here. If you already WERE the opposition, we wouldn’t be in this fucking mess. Also, democrats say they’re “going to” do a lot of shit they never had any intention of ever doing and just make up some goddamned excuse.
Until they actually do something, they’re enthusiastically complicit.
We’re going to be the opposition.
Think I can hold my breath until the opposition actually starts?
Nice that they finally noticed that they are now opposition and finally have to do something.
They’re not doing something. They’ve just decided that something should be done somehow someday.
Oh really? I’m sure a strongly written letter will get them this time. Maybe a limp slap on the wrist?
I bet they will be as good at being “the opposition” as they were at defending Roe v Wade, or being “the resistance.”
These people had like 50 years to codify it, and did not. They knew all along what the strategy was and they did nothing. They did nothing when Clinton reduced benefits and did his whole thing.
Corporate democrats will always be just talk because in the end they just want to make their corporate masters happy. Corporate masters are playing both sides, trying to ensure they make money.
Give us grass roots leadership and you will win.
If these dipshits didn’t spend the last presidency asleep at the wheel we wouldn’t be in this mess right now.
Ya want to be the opposition now? Read up on how to best handle a Nazi and apply those techniques to your daily life. Hint: the answer isn’t writing legislation.
C.O.D.E. (Civilians of Democracy and Ethics) is the counter action to DOGE. We cannot let this stand. Spread the word. Protest. Call lawmakers.
Is there a website or something?
are they going to write a strongly worded letter or something? I don’t expect much
This would’ve been useful six months ago, but ok.
Hah…hahahah…hahahhahhahah…HAHHAHHAHAHHAAA!!!
Unless their first act is to kick Fetterman to the curb then to me it’s all empty ass words of you can’t do something that simple.
Being the opposition means posting #resist from brunch
This is ABSURD! They need to do NOTHING then Ask for Donations INSTEAD! That’s a WINNING Tactic!
Sure, sure. No doubt.
Anyway…
