Most of the EOs are illegal (birthright; taking away congressionally allocated funds; totally bizarre “There are only two sexes,” ad nauseam.) If this were Biden’s second term, there’d be massive calls for his resignation based on these EOs, had he signed them. Why not treat Trump equally.
I'm sure you've thought about what happens to any Dem resistance that happens to break through. In my mind I see cases being frozen, then going to appeals courts & then finally up to SCOTUS. Guess what happens after that? It would be helpful if THE PRESS would play a bigger part in this shit show.
Perhaps, but lawsuits are utterly useless since they are unenforceable and MAGA has no intention of abiding by rulings.
Filing paperwork isn't a resistance. Organizing massive strikes & protests to get govt concessions is how a resistance works.
There's no Dem resistance & never will be. Dem's idea of resistance is waiting 2 years for gerrymandered "survival of the richest" midterms where land has more representation than people in the senate.
Dems should make demands & organize mass protests until concessions are made, but wont. They Lazy.
"Pending", which will go nowhere since the lawsuit rulings are unenforceable and MAGA will reject them.
It is amazing that in the US, filing paperwork is what passes as resistance to autocracy instead of organizing mass protests & strikes until govt makes concessions.
Oh, yeah - her husband is Peter "let's just do a thought experiment about Trump annexing Canada, for shits and giggles" Baker. Two fo the most obsequious suck-ups in journalism.

Only a powerful soul can offer love. Only a powerful soul can afford to be humble. If we are weak, then we become selfish. If we are empty, we take, but if we are full, we automatically give to all.
you are peter baker's wife, one of the premier bothsidesing journalists in the NYT's reliably transphobic, crimepanic cabinet, and your son wrote a much derided piece about "campus safety" which was 100% islamophobic and pro the genocide of the Palestinians.
Democratic leadership has been missing in action and totally feckless! Where is Schumer? Where is Jeffries? Only AOC, Chris Murphy, Jasmine Crockett and Bernie Sanders have been speaking out against Trump.
Actually not what is happening in the courts where veteran Judges are coming closer & closer to holding individual Gov attorneys in contempt for failure to comply w/ court orders…
They may not have soldiers~ but they have bar associations..
When that starts happening they will break like twigs.
They're getting laughed out of court left and right. The real story is they are ignoring court orders. Trump was to get to SCOTUS as fast as possible so they don't care if every lawyer at the DOJ is disbarred along the way.
The MSM, in this case an excellent writer for the New Yorker, are sometimes just lazy. (I know she didn’t write this, but she’s amplifying Trump spin/propaganda.) Should could have looked up those numbers. SMH
I’m not sure what “working” means in this context. Most EOs are expressions of the Administration’s intent and/or are directions to departments and agencies to do something in the future. They don’t actually change law themselves. I wish more reporters would make that distinction.
In a binary choice between the continuation of democracy and fascist disasembly, young democrats couldn't be bothered to vote. democrats have no majority in either house of congress, or any of the 3 branches of federal governement. what should Dems do, cry, scream, do a rain dance, bood let?
Why are the Democrats responsible for filing all lawsuits? They do not have standing to do so. Unions, individuals and entities whose contracts were illegally broken have standing. Stop gaslighting the reading public.
Susan, what would you expect Stephen Miller to say? “We’re overwhelmed and don’t have nearly enough well briefed lawyers to defend against the lawsuits. We’re totally surprised. They caught us off guard”
Sounds like propaganda to me. 95 lawsuits so far. Not enough? MSMers are being manipulated.
Really? Seems like a lot of lawsuits to me. Folks need standing to file and that’s a finite group. Are you an attorney or have some special insight or is that just your opinion?

Here’s some insight into what’s happening from a strategy call with Congressional Dems:
