Why can't we use shock & awe on the Trump administration? There are only a handful of them, while there are 335 million Americans + 1.3 million lawyers. Between lawsuits left & right, Malicious compliance from the federal workers remaining, & Daily protests - we CAN overwhelm them right back.

A president rapidly sundowning into full-blown dementia ambiguously handed power over the entire government to a delusional billionaire drug addict in a made-up illegal quasi-office and the Cabinet is split over whether their departments have to listen to his mad orders. It's day 34.

NO. Democrats must NOT negotiate with republicans to fund what Trump is doing. We should WEILD the power of the slim majority to DEMAND individual agency funding bills.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.
