You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Any US Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. or Kash Patel are betraying their oath of office to serve their constituents and uphold the Constitution.
A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

🧵 How do we know Trump is full of sh** when he shrieks about “hydrants running dry”?
Because in 2016, a horrendous wildfire hit Gatlinburg Tennessee.
Hydrants ran dry and 14 people died. A higher death toll than the LA Fires.
But Tennessee had a GOP governor, so newly-elected Trump posted:
