Danielle Sassoon resigned rather than carry out the Trump administration's order to drop corruption charges against New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, setting off other resignations within the Justice Department and standing up for the independence that has defined her Manhattan office for decades.

Like … is not one democratic lawmaker willing to go enter a building and demand illegal activity stop? Even if they get arrested? Especially if they get arrested?
No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.
One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

As soon as I heard Booker say "The people of New Jersey didn't send me here to oppose Donald Trump," I hit mute and scrolled Bluesky instead. I just don't want to hear any more of that kind of weak-ass bullshit.
