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.

    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.

    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.
