The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Heard of the SAVE ACT? It effectively bypasses the 19th amendment - the one that allows women to vote. This is just one group it would disenfranchise. It requires a US passport. No passport? A birth certificate matching your LEGAL name is required. Is your legal name on your birth certificate?

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

This.
Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

“There’s a certain amount of rhetoric that we take as normal now . . . and it’s a really dangerous way to run a country,” Bishop Mariann Budde says. “If we talk to each other like that all the time, we are going down a path of self-destruction as a nation.”
Why Bishop Mariann Budde Wanted to Speak to Donald Trump
“If you know what people are thinking about when they’re coming into church on Sunday morning, it’s very important to acknowledge that,” Budde says.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

This is not a time to give up.

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it,” Martin Luther King said. “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
