Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Aaron - who is one of the smartest folks I know on the Hill - is the first to lay out a smart response to people who want Dems to do more. He breaks it down to the difference between "catharsis" and "effectiveness."
The most effective resistance right now will be applying pressure to Republicans in Congress and pursuing remedies in the courts. The latter will often be led by states and orgs, not the minority party in Congress, which has among other things questionable standing in an inter-branch federal lawsuit

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Trump’s campaign promise to cap interest rates at 10% was certainly a bold-faced lie. The CFPB’s recent pro-consumer policies are likely to be immediately undone. This may shock some, but the consumer protection community saw it coming. #cfpb #consumerprotection www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
