Democrats unwillingness to stand up for Congress's constitutional right to prevent Trump from unilaterally shutting down social security offices or firing veterans is craven. If we’re afraid of blame, we need to get better at persuasion—not rolling over.

The US is burning, but I still managed to spend a week touring DC - before Trump started firing all Museum personnel. I blogged about the eateries we visited.

Picking up and detaining women and children so that you can exchange them for other hostages or even captured soldiers is wrong, no matter who does it

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.
This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

What are the Democrats doing right now to resist all this, you ask?
Don't worry, their best and brightest are currently negotiating a bipartisan deal to sanction the ICC for issuing arrest warrants for genocidaires.
Now that's how you defend democracy.

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, not the White House. These funds have already been allocated. They help families afford food, heat their homes, pay for childcare, go to the doctor, and more. This is worse than Project 2025.

Some believe Democrats should speak only about the price of eggs.
I disagree. We must show courage.
We must speak for the constitutional rights of many of our neighbors, who are patriotic immigrants living today in the shadows and in fear.
