Wish I knew somebody who was in one of the two halls of Congress right now.

Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

Even as a Canadian, I understand that the Democrats don’t have control of Congress at the moment, but really Chuck?
You must remember that they are the minority party.
They are limited in what they can do congressionally.
1 Senator has said he will prevent unanimous consent on everything.
Jeffries has a Dear Colleague out on fighting back.
You complain they aren’t doing anything because you aren't paying attention.
"Do not collaborate" isn't really on the table yet. These are executive orders, not bills. Lawsuits can be started by anyone (and are), but probably won't go be won. Comms are happening, but I think most Dems are dissatisfied with the ineffectiveness.
So what would either one accomplish? How would that be better than taking part and voting against?
The structural flaws of a duopoly are totally exposed when one party is captured and the other is clueless.
The Ds don’t begin to look like a true opposition party.

"You're somebody."
"No, I mean alert the people whose job it is to defend the Constitution!"
"... Dude..."
Yesterday my Democratic Representative sent out an email about the environment.
During a coup.
We’re fighting fire with daffodils and dreams.

Wtf are you doing to stop these fascist fucks???????????
Filibuster, take to the airwaves, go on Fox and OANN even. Social media the shit out of them, including on Musks own platform.
But unless our leaders do this, we’re going to cease to be a republic.
Meanwhile, deny the senate a quorum so nominees cannot be confirmed.

I hope for some action, other than what I worry is about to happen.
The legal actions take forever. Autocrats don’t pay attention to adverse rulings.
Trump as used the courts to his advantage for decades.
Normal people if a way goes down = must to finish...
How much is chuck worth?
And the whitehouse and supreme court too!
What do they need my money for?
They are getting paid to sit in their office.
Get out and do something - they don't need extra money to do what they should have been doing since day 1 of this shit show
Attorney general no response. Finance committee chairs senator no response and my congresswoman did talk to me today.
If there was "rule of law" Donny and half of sitting Republicans would be sitting in prison.
As we used to say when I was a kid, “no duh!”
Make the Senate Listen!
