Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

Please understand something.
The Trump administration knows if courts enforce the law this anti-trans executive order is dead on arrival.
They want you to obey in advance, which will make courts less likely to enforce the law.

Dear Humans,
Trump’s hiring freeze has left his own supporters jobless and humiliated. Now, they’re begging him to fix the chaos he caused—and the irony is nothing short of divine. Grab some popcorn; it’s time for thy daily dose of schadenfreude.

Yes, you did. When you voted for a man who said he would pardon the January 6th insurrectionists, you voted for that.
