Arresting judges.

Threatening allies.

Trying to sell campaign merch from the White House.

Floating a 2028 run.

Deranged. Dangerous. Undemocratic.

Democrats must not fold. They must use their leverage, hold the line, and use every procedural tool available to delay and defy the Trump-Musk coup.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.
