Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.

Government funding is the one card congressional Democrats have to play, and one they could and should use to push back against Trump's authoritarianism.
What's their big demand?
RFK Jr's resignation? Reforms in ICE? Stand down of National Guard?
NOPE.
"Obamacare enhanced premium tax credits"

Old playbook of "divide and conquer" going into the midterm election cycle. Same strategy that contributed to Harris' loss. Question is, have the targeted groups learned anything ot no...?
Historically Black Colleges and Universities are chronically underfunded and under-resourced.
While I appreciate any influx of funding to HBCUs, it should not come at the expense of funding Minority Serving Institutions, which also need this funding.

Trump administration boosts HBCU funding after cutting grants for Hispanic-serving colleges
The fund amounts to a one-time federal boost of 48% for HBCUs, and it more than doubles funding for tribal colleges and universities, the Education Department said.

Could be because ICE restricts them from speaking to the media?!
The Proud Boys were everywhere in Trump's first term. Six months into his second term, they have been surprisingly quiet, @alibreland.bsky.social argues.
Where Have the Proud Boys Gone?
Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown has left the extremist group with little to do.

Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion
Powell: I’m not aware of that.
Trump: It just came out
Powell: You just added in a third building
Trump: It’s a building that’s being built
Powell: It was built five years ago.

For the record, when Democrats are asked in the future why they won’t work with Republicans, this will be Exhibit A.
