This. Especially Senate Republicans.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Don’t ever forget, they are responsible for dtrumpf and the pain it will cause all Americans
WTF … it took our Douchelord in Chief less than a month to turn our GOVERNMENT into the enemy of democracy.
It will take heroic action to stop him.
Flipping House must start now.
Congress has failed the people and now the people have to decide how to proceed. Congress doesn’t exist.
It clearly has devolved further into little more than a fascist cult.
Little do they realize, their collective voices-along w/the Democrats, would defeat Trump!
It was called the "Vichy (pronounced VEE-she) Government."
We should rename the Republican Party in America
"The Vichy Party."

Humble thanks in advance
Hopefully many MANY of the “conservatives” magas are experiencing hardships, sooner than later.
They KNOW Musk's DOGE is illegal but are allowing them to destroy democracy.
Sen Young was a Marine.
What a spineless whipping boy he's become.
Donold can make unpopular cuts and congressional republicans don't have to make unpopular votes.
Mike Johnson is ZERO Surprise. He's getting exactly what he and has NAR 'Church' want!
They could do with a class educating them what their role is within the USA government.
Damn, we, as a nation, are pathetic.
But right now, the Republicans in Congress letting Musk do whatever he wants is the biggest issue.
Right now they’re choosing Trump over their constituents’ livelihoods. Will that hold when they weigh their odds of being primaried?
Country > District > Party
has become
Dear Leader / Party > Über Alles
Call your Reps. What a joke!!!
How does it feel to be co-Chairs of the American Nazi Party---willingly & randomly publishing classified U.S. security information online and allowing access to millions of private financial and Social Security records to Putin⁉️Do your jobs! Impeach Trump🇺🇸

It’s starting to feel like th early 1970s as American eyes open to th immense pwrs of th presidency.
Thune even more than Johnson in that we expected Johnson to act like this. We hoped that Thune would have had higher ethical standards and allegiance to the constitution. Clearly that’s not the case.

What are Democrat Senators and House members going to do to find and convince certain Republicans to join the rule of the constitution?

Just a tiny number of Republicans are speaking out against the criminality we are witnessing.
If we're depending on Republicans in Congress to act rationally this war is already lost.
Way overdue to pull some pages out of the Mitch McConnell playbook — a reprehensible person but Dems could learn a thing or two from the master of obstructing while in the minority
Trump is ruining this country.
We have to act now:
- Contribute to Dems running for office across the country. Don't just keep it local.
- Join a peaceful protest.
- Call Congress; write emails.
- Don't buy anything on Feb 28.
Do what you can!
Act today!
Tell your constituents to stop going to work. Don't go out to eat or see a film. Buy only the groceries you need to live.
I guarantee you that within a year you'll look back and wonder why you just lived your life while this was going down.
Democrats have very limited options to collectively stop the imbecilic criminal and power hunger of the unelected billionaire villain.
