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.

      That’s extremely convenient. So the ones that didn’t want to pass legislation that would reflect the democratic party’s values and platform were not funded anymore and kicked from the party right? So they all had strong well-funded primary contender’s and couldn’t run as democrats anymore in the general election right?

        So you’re going to try and lecture people on Democratic party politics but aren’t aware that’s exactly what happened? Sinema and Manchin were ostracized and are not only no longer Democrats, they no longer hold office.

        Nice talking with you, but I’m not going to waste my time if you’re here in bad faith or completely uninformed. Have a nice day!
