Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

The “fork in the road“ email that federal employees received has gotten quite a bit of coverage. But check this where it came from: Musk’s team have taken over the HR systems at the Office of Personnel Management. It’s pretty bad.
