Trump succeeded to push the Supreme Court to give him TOTAL immunity as a President and now he is!
So … nobody can stop him , no one!
Nothing, no order, no law, even the constitution … the way he is treating it! And, the people who voted for him are yet supporting him !
So : what is your option?
Conspiracy theory here. But let's suppose Trump's first term was a series of "testing the fences" ops and planning.
Term 2 is the activation of the plan. Bringing the GOP in line with the threat of the kompromat we know they hold over them. Musky & his minions are given marching orders by Putin..
Though correct, it seems there’s only so much it seems Dems can do to make it factual considering the other side dgaf about laws or repercussions. And Elmo REALLY DGAF once he had the hands on the info, which it seems he does.
Perhaps the administration as a whole is in a pickle - over ONE sick man. Reps don’t want to admit that the country is now freaked out; dems are shocked into a coma, and Americans are the victims. I try to choose my words carefully; I’ve been attacked for my thoughts, which are just that: Thoughts
Saying only Congress can shut down the agency while standing at a podium or in front of the cameras does Jack 💩 to stop what is happening. You can't even enter the offices of these agencies. Impeach the 🫏hole! It will only get worse if you don't.
Democrats need to get in the game. It is going to take Federal Marshalls to get in those buildings. And Dems best get a Court to order the Marshalls in because of tRump's defiance if court orders. If they don't push now, they will lose the opportunity. 🤷♀️
Saw fight from Warren & Raskin Dems LIVE firey speeches today raising alarm‼️ They did ask for our help, to do our part!

Good Trouble
SCOTUS said that a president can’t be found guilty if he breaks any law when his actions are part of his role as president. So Trump feels free to break any and all laws. The Constitution is just another set of laws Trump feels free to break. This is what Americans voted for. FAFO.
Awww how quaint. Meanwhile those very 3 entities are giving the world the middle finger and actually shutting it down. Wonderful words, though, Dems. I'm sure this will win you a consolation prize from the fascists.
Respectfully @warren.senate.gov , when they do it anyway what exactly are YOU and your colleagues doing about it? @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social seem to either (1) shrug or (2) get in front of a camera and shout "we will win!". We need action, not impotent cheerleaders
Understood, but there are things dems could do to disrupt every single thing the Republicans try to get done - the very same way Republicans did to us for both of Obama's terms and most of Biden's
If Americans won’t vote Republicans out of office because they care about our country,freedom, democracy then there vote should not be counted! DeSantis Republican in Florida trying to put his wife in office and should not be allowed, isn’t there a Democratic willing to run for office in Florida?!
The republicans have become big fat old weeps, Trump has threatened them! It is time for all Americans to vote all and I mean all Republicans out of office
What can we do when they continue with this constitutional crisis. I am small but I am mighty. I don’t give up easily either. For example I have been a Vikings fan forever. I stood up against Vietnam, stood up for free choice and equal rights. I turn 70 tomorrow and I will not given in or bow ⬇️
But yet it is shut down. Stop talking about what he is and isn't allowed to do, and tell us what you are planning on doing now that he has shown he will not follow the law.
MSNBC Rachel Maddow show - watch the rerun of it later tonight or wait until it’s posted in a day or so to MSNBC. If someone else has it Rupar? Maybe it will show up yet in here tonight. Can also check Rachel’s blue sky account
I did watch it the entire segment, and it doesn’t say beyond what we’ve already heard that basically the courts are being defied. There’s no one to call to rectify this.
We’re no longer living in a country with a rule of law .
The rest of the segment is in another post by Aaron Rupar I also posted it in this thread- Elizabeth details that people steps down from trump will be held in contempt of the court and then we will see. I know we all wish there was an easy solution but there isn’t.
Appeal to the court system, court orders defied (starting with McConnell's), US Marshals can't intervene since the DOJ stops it, uh...oh....now we really have a problem.
The only peaceful solution after that are mass boycotts (which should be done right away).
It’s just so weird and quite delusional that they still talk about the rule of law like it’s a normal day in America. I actually feel sad for the Dems - they sound out of touch and outdated with the times.
Well to read certain media postings it sure doesn't appear that way. I really wish that the Congressional Democrats would do more for us. I don't feel like they are fighting enough for us
Then someone do something before the fuckin 19 year old with access to the nukes wants to see what one looks like going boom - so he can take a god damn selfie in the background glow!!! This is absolute insanity - and most likely past the point of return I fear.

Well check again: not Congress, but Trump and Musk just did. And no one and nothing seems to stop those .....(can't find the right word to describe these two)... doing this.
What are you guys going to do about it. I’ve called my Senators & Congressman in the State of WASHINGTON!!
They are already on right side. What about others. We can only do so much
I think two decades of the media mythologizing teenage script kiddies and front-end web developers as geniuses probably played a role in the fact 19 year old programmers are senior advisors at the defense department.
Did it not happen? Are they not shutting shit down? So much floundering and posturing shows how ill-equipped the Democrats are to stop any of this, even after yrs of watching this snowball build momentum🙄
I want to see her march over to the U.S. Marshals Service and, if they let her into the building (in Virginia, I think), see her grab the head Marshal and lead him over to the USAID building.
That would be an action which we could all applaud and respect.
Probably won't work.
But it is an ACTION.
The problem is Republicans control both houses of congress and have no interest in going against Musk-Trump wishes. There’s only so much Dems can do via that route. That’s why the most viable route is via the judiciary, but the enforcement is the challenge.
I came to the same conclusion that the most viable route seems to be the judiciary. I look to the honorable members of the legal community for solutions because justice matters. The rule of law must take priority for the Constitution to survive.
It will come down to the SC and I have little confidence that the maga majority will uphold the rule of law. The question is, if that happens, what can anyone do? We must organize mass protests.
It's daunting how much power tRump is outright stealing across the government. I am praying that Congress and the Justice System are able to stop him and put things back. The farther this goes, the harder it's going to be.
Trump calls them "very smart people". Some of us have helped him hack this election, similar to what Cambridge Analytica did. And the Democrats still have no clue what hit them.
From my experience respect is not a one way street.
BS. They dictator is going to do whatever the hell he wants and democrats are going to continue to clutch pearls and write "strongly worded letters". They are absolutely useless.
Except she forgot the part where the Supreme Court gave Trump immunity and he thinks it means 100% immunity Trump and his administration are not gonna care about what the constitution says. Moving to be a dictator and not even hiding it anymore.
I think you've accidentally pointed out what action must be taken by the supreme Court.
They need to make an emergency declaration that the president does have immunity from prosecution however he must respect the separation of powers. The Congress controls the money. We should push this.
So... @warren.senate.gov "Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m." How do you stop this?
Does that matter? When Blackwater comes in and prevents all action from happening? Like seriously.... great to know, but these goons seem to be ignoring every legality, rule or statement from anyone but Musk.... So now what?
What exactly do people want Democrats to do about this? People had a choice. They chose republican, all three houses, knowing exactly what Trump and his sycophants were planning to do. You banished the democrats and now you’re crying for them to save you.
Ok but the first step is making sure people understand he shouldn't be. I'd not enough but you have to start.
This only ends with millions in the streets so the millions need to know.
Is someone gonna tell her that they're doing it anyway? And that they're signalling they will ignore the courts? And that that means our government has fallen? And that she should probably see this coming and act as if the worst-case scenario is already happening?
Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury, didn't have to enable this. It would have died without his support. Not sure why Warren isn't mentioning him.
And yet he’s doing just that and you can’t do anything about it but watch it burn…do better. Not just on MSNBC…do it on Fox, Mewsmax and all the other trash.
Well, apparently that’s not true, since both USAID and the CFPB are both effectively shuttered. And the Republican (mis) led Congress is doing nothing to prevent it! #FAFO
He's already shown he doesn't actually care about the rule of law. Even during his last administration how many times did he do things that were 'illegal', but with no retribution. We can go about how he's not allowed to do this & that, but until he is stopped, he's going to keep on doing it & more
There is no way to enforce the laws they are breaking. All the federal law enforcers report to Trump. This will not end well for our country. We elected a criminal dictator and now he has seized power. Trump now is our ruler and king.
The courts are always open for you to sue if anything is done illegally. And they already have. And they’ve stopped Trump doing somethings. It’s not a guarantee they’ll win when he appeals but we ll see. Stop whining.
The #CFPB is fighting back. NTEU 335 is leading the effort. We have to do our part as well. Call your congressperson and let them know you don’t approve of Trump/Musk meddling in your government affairs.
I'm sorry, but our congress people should be STOPPING THE ILLEGAL COUP because it's ILLEGAL, not because they fear not getting re-elected and "need to hear from their constituents". Even if dumb constituents believe it's all fine and dont call, they should still FIGHT the ILLEGAL COUP.
I totally agree, but pressure from their constituents can force them to do the right thing. Unfortunately, reelection is a huge concern for them and we need to take advantage of that.
I think these people do a terrible disservice pretending there is any way to enforce the law. They know for a fact Trump will defy the courts and no one will stop him. Why not ring the alarm now? Why let this get worse? This is how we got here. Whatever we should do in the future, we should do now
Congress and SCOTUS. They need to do their jobs.. not just the democrats, but I'm pretty sure the GOP realise just how unlawful and unconstitutional mElon and his goon squad's actions are by now.
The chances that foreign powers and private companies are offering any Doge employee they can track down - who haven’t passed security backgrounds- massive amounts of $ are near 100%
The whole 'republicans are literally destroying this country' thing would be easier to handle if the the 'democrats are simply incompetent' wasn't also true.
Thank you, Elizabeth Warren, for saying this! Probably half this country is too stupid to understand this and think that some f*cking billionaire can do whatever the Hell he wants
Agreed but who is going to stop them? The courts may agree with Elizabeth Warren but much of the enforcement power is under the executive branch. Trumps does not follow court orders well based on his history so then what do we do?
Silly rabbit. We folks who have had to live with these shitty ass libertarians for decades now in the Valley always knew. They are societies worst enemy. Always have been. Always will be.

And the FACTS are?
I bet there are ten ways a 22 year old programmer can WRECK the place.
Wait.. why isnt it stopping.. they CANT.. cause congress..
Why aren't they following the law?.
What do we do when someone breaks the law?
Go on tv and say strong words to the public.. never arrest anyone.. why is that?
(You know... that guy who was responsible for the Cherokee Trail of Tears by ignoring the Supreme Court.)🤷♀️
tRump and his Nazi squad know EXACTLY what they are doing. They are following Andrew Jackson's example.🤷♀️
As Dems talk, tRump rolls over them.🤷♀️

There is something souring in the American spirit right now…
All of this because 1 black guy got a special job in 2008 and years later they gave a girl a lightsaber in a movie….
Some people’s world cracked. Now they want the fantasy back.

The problem is the numbers.
Dems are in the minority in both houses.
Where was she 6 months ago when HARRIS needed voices from the Senate
Warren's always the one to scream- 'We gotta do something, I'm gonna fight for U'
That canned act has got to go
We’re no longer living in a country with a rule of law .

What are they doing besides complaining about their impotence?
This is just insurrection by other means.
