You don't have to hand it to MTG but "this is not America First" is a useful line of attack to split his base

you know one thing dems do not need and have never needed overwhelming majorities to do is to stop talking about republicans as their respectable colleagues who they hope will do the right thing and the fever will break any minute now, and to start talking about them as enemies who must be defeated
A lot of people are mad at Schumer for saying this. But he's right. Democrats don't control a single branch of government and they can't pass anything. Only Republicans can rein in Trump because they control both chambers of Congress. Democrats have no cards to play here.
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

the system has flaws but tools do exist to address the problems we're having
the fundamental issue is that you cannot design a set of rules that will constrain a party that both controls the levers of power and does not want to be bound by them

My favorite posts are the ones where a Congressman talks about how "Congress has failed", as if it's an entity that they somehow aren't a part of. Congress failed, Senator? Gosh, I wonder who could fix that...

The Constitution has one remedy for Trump and every day that they don’t use it makes them complicit in it
Every member of Congress not calling for impeachment and removal is failing their own oaths of office.
Trump: “We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and the European Union needs us to have it. And they know it.”
