Republicans are the problem, not Democrats. There are things Democrats should and will do, but fundamentally they are playing on highly disadvantageous ground.
Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Seth, with all due respect, the Democrats-are-the-problem routine is the opposite of insight. It’s notable your post doesn’t contain any suggestions for what Democrats should do, just criticism that they’re not waving whatever magical wand you want them to be waving. The GOP owns this crisis 100%.
