One thing the Democrats can do (and don't seem to be doing) is coordinate on/publish a 'here is what we we will do to reverse Trump' set of proposed measures. Republicans made it clear that they would overturn JCPOA, damaging its credibility from outset. Dems should do same for the shitty stuff.

And then the Dems need to reverse the stuff! A big disappointment with Biden is that he didn’t reverse a lot of the trump1 damage, even when Dems controlled the government.
A distressing number of Dems are already squishy on tariffs.

That’s how we got here, pay to play. Enough.
b. Charge, try, and convict wrongdoers in the Trump Administration and their enablers outside it
c. Purge all Trump admin appointees and collaborators
d. Aggressive IRS audits over $10mm
e. Aggressively enforcing FARA and FCPA
g. regulate cryptocurrency as a security – or ban it entirely
h. repeal Arbitration Act
i. Severe mandatory minimums for white collar crimes
j. Repeal 2001 AUMF and War Powers Act
k. Repeal all presidential tariff authorities
Trump/Musk stole our payments system
Lack of understanding - because they can’t admit to themselves what a mess they’ve made - what’s happening
Etc
Anyway, this is important
First part gives solutions
Last 10 minutes explains the EO that finally stole the purse from Congress

The Democrats have been obeying in advance for a long time. It is hard for them to lose the habit.
(It’s a taboo/custom they’ll have to break. Coordinate now and let presidential hopefuls deal)
‘Federal staff: preserve docs, we will appoint IGs who will investigate all this’
Till the impacts come close to home, they won't care.
Every inch of their individual lives has to be filled with this noise.
Because you're not just fighting evil on one flank - but inertia on the other.

And was able to do so in large measure because of how Congress designed our system over many, many, many, decades
Slowly giving the executive more & more powers of the purse
Now they lost it
But the last 10 minutes is a good summary

1. Arrest the lawbreakers.

Would love to see my senators and representative working on this
But the Dems are too incompetent to organize even that!
Dems need to pair anti-GOP talking points with their solutions to the Republican Party led destruction of American govt institutions and destruction of the economy for the middle class because of Republican Party tariffs
