You must block unanimous consent until they do. Use the leverage you have.

What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.

Getting arrested for something that's Legal would be Great "Political Theater" that would really amplify the USA. That's exactly what the Republicans would do if they were in this situation. Need to be as bold as the Right

What about the GSA wanting to cancel contractors.

Do more!

Obstruct! Continuously demand quorum calls and object to unanimous consent, to deny Senate Republicans the ability to enact Trump initiatives.

Stop all confirmations. Put holds on every Trump nominee.

Investigate Patel.

What are y'all doing to stop them? They're already telling the courts they're not going to listen. It's on Congress.

groeblbubble.bsky.social•12 days ago

It's cute Democrats think Trump will listen to the courts. What if Trump ignores the courts? The supreme Court already said a president is a dictator and the wheels of justice have already shown they can't hold anyone accountable within a 4 year time frame soooo... What are you gonna do?

“Trump and musk must stop their chaos.” Well I guess that takes care of that. I feel so much better now.

The order enjoins the bureaucracy from implementing them. It does not order the administration to issue the same order. Without that the workers will be confused and uncertain. The judiciary can't protect them from retaliation by the administration if they comply with the court's order.

genkidesuu.bsky.social•12 days ago

Shame on you. That’s all.

shablopligh.bsky.social•12 days ago

Trump illegally fired over a dozen IGs, and is letting Musk Doge wreck federal agencies authorized by Congress, and signed into law by previous presidents. Now he’s in violation of court orders, likely many. This is grounds for impeachment but the Democrats aren’t even objecting to unanimous consent

How are you going to make them? Please come up with an actual plan

They have zero intention on complying with courts. That is not in the coup playbook.

friskyfisher.bsky.social•12 days ago

It doesn't completely reassure me... They're not 100% complying, and I can certainly see a future where they just refuse to comply with the courts at all. They'll tell their base that the courts are corrupt, and thats that...

mbaileywriter.bsky.social•12 days ago

So what are you going to do about it?

lilaclvr1956.bsky.social•12 days ago

You guys need to work harder on this. Mr. Raskin only needs 2 more pubs to impeach him and make it stick.
They can't all be on board with all this happening, bribe them, pay them, give them immunity.. do something or we'll never get to vote again

antimaga1.bsky.social•12 days ago

Also what if he doesn’t comply? What can you do senator?
