When they stormed the Capitol on January 6, I really did not expect they would succeed in eliminating the Congress as a branch of government. But here we are. They’ve turned it in to a ceremonial arm of DOGE.

Where are the democrats? There is only Trump’s government. The challenge is how to rally people who still believe in democracy and to determine if Americans actually want democracy? To my frail eyes, I can't find too many democratic politicians who have a plan or are capable of advancing one.

Musk operatives have already pushed live to production extensive code changes to the Treasury Department payment system which makes 95% of fed govs payments.
This all eerily reminds me of that scene in Handmaid's Tale where Serena Joy tells of how America became Gilead. An organization of powerful men plotted and schemed, like we see now.

Democrats platform for the next Congressional election should be re-establishing the legislative branch and government stability. Plain and simple. Nothing social - just the basics of our democracy.
right? terrifying. I do believe there will be a mid-term election for Congress where we will see serious efforts to thwart the vote. republicans only have Congress on a shoestring margin - so that should be the focus.
