     @nikatjef @CaroltheCrone this seems to be based on the idea that the Rs are going to try to do things legally to tear things down. They can actually do nothing. A shrug because the public elected a disruptor, and a refusal to do anything means the Ds have to pass something. Getting anything out of committee will be near impossible.

     I'm not saying that these visits aren't a great idea... they should be done (go visit, call, mail, etc) , but this may not stop until there is a spine in the party

     @CaroltheCrone
     I did and, for the most part, none of those are really effective given the current state of the Senate, House, and SCOTUS.

     Perhaps I am not reading deep enough, but I am not seeing anything that can be done at this time. The earliest would be the 2026 election.

     And how do you propose stopping them please? The Senate is effectively toothless at this point and the House is actively aiding and abetting, and SCOTUS is almost as corrupt as Chump himself.

     Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab.

     Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: https://indivisible.org/resource/how-senate-democrats-can-shut-down-trumps-agenda-procedural-hardball

     Trump is trying to shut down critical functions of the federal government while he hands unchecked power and access over to an unelected billionaire.

     But we choose to fight this quiet coup. Join us and take action to stop the Trump-Musk funding grab: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/c/funding-crisis-response/event/create/?utm_source=indivisible
