The White House Belongs to the American People Act of 2025 should be pushed in parallel and with equal vigor.
Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Younger people won't believe this, but during the Second World War, Disney put out cartoons about how it was your patriotic duty to stand up to fascists, even noting that we'd each have to take a financial hit if we wanted to win that struggle.
No, really!
No, really!

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

We've seen terrific pushback by Dem governors.
Pritzker is leading the way, but Walz and Moore have come out swinging too and even Hochul has found a bit of a spine. Other issues aside, Newsom's social media game is strong and showing results.
There's a popular model here for congressional Dems.

I just do not understand the general reaction to Trump by Democrats. Pritzker throws one punch and he's clearly freaked out. Standing up to bullies has been a thing for thousands of years for a reason. It works. And yet! Democrats remain in a defensive crouch.

A great sin of the post-Obama years was the decision to let Trump’s aberrance speak for itself, in implicit contrast to Democrats' normalcy. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is (finally) pointing to a better way. He shouldn't let anyone talk him out of it, and other Dems should take his approach farther.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
