The only Democrats in Congress that I've seen doing anything were the Reps and Senators who rallied and spoke out against the firing and shutting down of USAID in front of the building. After they all spoke, they entered the building to find out what was going on and to talk to any employee still there. They said they are fighting this. We will see how that goes. We need MUCH more of this spirit and action from the Democrats. They also need to subpoena Bessent and Musk and his 6 surrogates to appear before a Committee(s) (Banking? Intel? Oversight?) and answer questions UNDER OATH. Personally, I think Musk should be arrested for what he's done and Bessent should be impeached for allowing this massive BREACH of the US Treasury's computers and payment systems, and Lord knows what else!
Besides just complaining to our elected representatives to do something, I think we should come up with a strategy for dealing with the threat of pro-fascists in this country. And then present that to our politicians. Like a list of points and concrete steps they need to take.
Demand they investigate and come up with legal justification to deport Musk. If he lied on his Visa by claiming to be a student, make (literally) a Federal Case out of it.
Demand they hold congressional hearings (should Democrats ever come back into power) into the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation. Defund them. Investigate every single Federalist Society law clerk. Have Democratic surrogates run a 24/7 media propaganda campaign repeating how Federalist and Heritage are fascist, anti American organizations. That's what the right wing did with "CRT" and "woke." Obviously, it works. Do it.
Investigate, yes "McCarthy style," every GOP congressperson who enabled Trump to dismantle our government. Develop blacklists, and use them.
Demand they come up with an entire working group to expand the Supreme Court.
Write proposals for legislation that makes it illegal to co-opt federal agencies without congressional oversight, or to appoint civilians to positions without hearings and security clearances.
If we don't protect our government and our democracy with an entire arsenal of hard-hitting responses, then we really cannot expect to still have a functioning democracy, can we? There's obviously no one ready to fight tooth and nail to prevent fascists from taking over. So it's going to have to be us.
I think they all have a safety plan for themselves.
We have no one on our side when we thought we did. It’s almost like they’re there to make sure no one else steps in to really do something. Idk. It’s all hard to believe but we see it with our own eyes. I care more about the everyday American. And i don’t care who they voted for anymore.
It's time for the Dems to pay a fine price to one that can be a spokesperson for democracy because they are blind, lack creativity, lack the courage and are failing those who elected them and standing by while our nation is hollowed out to the highest bidder. Corruption has been unveiled in the state of California in the last week, as well. Everywhere I look, I see corruption. It's exhausting and I'm sleeping more, it's terribly upsetting and there are no words to describe how dangerous our country looks to both our allies and our enemies at this time.
Maybe we need to protest the Democratic Party as much as the republicans who have the White House. Democratic Party has changed from a Lion to a house cat in 80 years.
Might has well throw them into the same mix master - they're useless at a time when they need to show leadership and grit, each and every day. Now they really have to work hard and stand for something, but they cower instead.
Well at least we already know, with Ken Martin at the helm of the DNC, we can expect …. nothing (but more email requests for $5 to “change the course of history” … you know, like the last election!!)
Ken Martin appears to be cut out of the same old cloth - longing for the good 'ole days and it would surprise me if he understands this new playing field, that the entire party needs the 3 R's: to be reinvented, reimagined, and reformed.

Gotta keep those eyes on the little cargo shorts in the treasury.
So how long before another country starts taking potshots at us? I'm guessing one, maybe two years at the max before we're attacked.

No one says it better than you do. Thank you.
