Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage.
If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead.
Stay tuned - more to come.

Not sure how to put it more clearly:

The Senate voted to advance Project 2025 architect Russell Vought as OMB director.
Vought has been quite clear that his intent is to dismantle the federal government.
Every Democrat voted NO, except for Fetterman who was absent.

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.

It’s comforting to have a guy who bankrupted casinos taking over the economy. I mean, that takes a special talent.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

If China took Taiwan tomorrow we wouldn't have the leadership to deal with the situation. We are the weakest we have been at any time in the last 200 years.
