something Republicans do all the time to great effect - they are pulling it now with CA disaster aid - is “I am not supporting until you do ”
just stop voting for anything at all until he stops doing flagrantly illegal shit, gum up the works

Democrats have every argument on their side: moral, ethical, fiscal, popular
Controlled opposition that's paid to be the literal "Washington Generals"
I am beyond angry to see my new reps on these lists again & again.

Both are in play which is why the Dems are making this show of bipartisanship. Trump is going to do something absolutely insane and then we will be into turnover territory.
Wait, I'm getting an update here that my facts are in error....
Trump is visibly senile. He can barely finish a sentence. Even GOP senators won't be frightened of him when he's a vegetable.
To be clear, for 15 years the GOP has shown there's no penalty for being over-the-top obstructionist while the Democrats constant attempts at bipartisanship have gotten them nowhere. The path forward should be obvious.
Other than that how was the theater Mrs. Lincoln?
The Democrats, Labour and the LibDems are parties that want to get things done. So, they have to make compromises to advance their agenda.
The GOP, Tories, Reform, are people who just want to be the person with the big important title.
Not sure how Trump's personal state of health affects that.
Republicans still voted to keep him on, and month after J6 they were already whitewashing the insurrection away.
The Democrats will reap from intrasingence than bipartisanship.
He would have been convicted the second time if the GOP senators hadn't managed to persuade themselves Trump was finished.
And now he thinks he is invulnerable he will step over the line again because he is arrogant, senile and surrounded himself with morons.
In the same way Fetterman vilified 'the radical left' for not supporting Netanyahu as fanatically as Republicans did, Fetterman is now aiding Republicans in installing genocidal monsters into the Federal government.
It's unlikely Trump can get what he wants without Democratic votes. I promise a circus.
The best they might be able to do is for Newsom to announce an escrow account that all Californians should submit their federal tax payments to instead of the IRS, but I don't think that's really feasible.
Not that I think this is a feasible plan but its the only one that gets close to "California shouldn't pay its taxes".

“I would like to vote for Governor Noem for DHS but before I do so I need Trump to lift the freeze on NIH funding, which is crippling our scientific establishment”

Make the fascists work for EVERY single shitty thing they want to do.
you can be certain that these people are just as dedicated to ending democracy entirely and cementing the unchallenged rule of deranged wealthy bigots as the GOP is
the only thing that kept them from supporting it before is that it was "against decorum"
