Alright Dems, if the courts are the only co-equal institution that can or will check Trump between now and 2027 at the earliest, how, if at all, will you change your procedural posture now that he’s getting comfortable blowing off court orders? What will you say and do differently?
Now What?
If Senate Democrats truly believed only the courts can rein in Trump, they'd act like it.

you'd think that one of the Popularist Boys would point out that it's in fact extremely bad politics for a leader of the party to do a national tour highlighting a wedge issue that splits the coalition

Did a Group support trans rights in 2017 again
Just 29% of Americans approve of the Democratic Party, the lowest since CNN polling began in 1992. It’s a 20% drop from 2021, and 7% lower than Republicans. And this poll was taken before Schumer folded.
CNN Poll: Democratic Party’s favorability drops to a record low | CNN Politics
The Democratic Party’s favorability rating among Americans stands at a record low, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, fueled in part by dimming views from its own frustrated supporters.

i don't understand, the dems agreed to the dipshsit centrist "compromise" about girls in sports - very sensible, very reasonable - and this was supposed to mean they never had to talk about the issue again
SCOOP: The US Dept. of Education and GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw will each recognize "DeTrans Awareness Day" tomorrow with events featuring anti-trans activists.
In lieu of a press release, I’m told the Dept. event will be covered exclusively by a reporter from The Federalist.

Democrats are understandably looking back to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama for clues about where to go from here. Fine as far as it goes, but it can't just be an exercise in mimicry. Those men succeeded in large part due to circumstances that won't likely be replicated. My latest:
