"More strongly worded letters on their way!" - Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer How do the two of these guys even go to work knowing, KNOWING that their "colleagues" are literally trying to eliminate the Democratic party entirely?

That’s a great question. They’re failing us. They’re failing America.

No they aren't failing, they HAVE FAILED. Same goes for every Senator that voted to confirm ANY of trump's picks.

So far yes. You’re 💯 right about that. But they’re the only ones who can do anything about it because if they don’t, there will never be a legit election again so there will never be another chance for them to fix their failures.

True. But how do we stop Trump’s dismantling of America?

The blue states need to stop funding the federal government.

States cannot. There’s probably some mechanism they can put together to do it, but it doesn’t exist at the moment. Individuals, however, can stop withholding on their paycheck. Note: falsifying your W4 so that your employer does not properly withhold is a crime. But that would be how it would happen

If the millions of Americans that protested in June stage this protest, say starting in October (so you could truthfully say you planned to just pay it all at once in January), that might have some effect.

Blue states can do a soft secession using the law: Refuse to run federal crackdowns (anti-commandeering doctrine). Build interstate compacts for power, medicine, elections. Pass “shield laws” to protect data + rights. Escrow state-collected funds & let DC run its own programs (expensive + slow).
