Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.

We are melting phone lines. GOP senator Lisa Murkowski admits call volume to Congress is 40 times above normal.

The Senate will vote on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination this week, and we could also see votes on Robert Kennedy Jr. & Kash Patel. Keep calling your senators: www.nixthenoms.com?source=bluesky

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now?

Trump’s agenda is corrupt, cruel, chaotic, and deeply unpopular — and the longer it goes on, the harder it is to sustain in the face of real opposition.

Folks were asking which MoCs did make the commitment on the spot. Celebrate these leaders!
Sen. Warren
Sen. Van Hollen
Rep. Waters
Rep. Pallone
Rep. Pressley
Rep. Cleaver
Rep. Beatty
Rep. Velázquez
Rep. Ansari
Rep. Foster
Rep. Simon
Rep. Amo
Rep. Meeks
Rep. Balint
Rep. Magaziner
Rep. Raskin
Only one Rep, Brad Sherman, declined to commit on the spot. He said he'd have to see the bill. The crowd didn't like that. They chanted back "WITHHOLD YOUR VOTE." If Sherman comes over to our side, we should welcome him. But until he does, I hope he gets the same question from his constituents.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Keep calling! Yesterday, Sen Murkowski (R-AK) noted the U.S. Senate phone system had around 1,600 calls/minute, in contrast to the 40/minute usually received.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz:

"If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers."

Dear Leaders of the Free World,

Fight him at every turn.
Make his life miserable.
Expose his ignorance and sociopathy.
Oppose and condemn and marginalize him.
The decent people of this nation are not with him.

We stand with you.
