There are several steps they could take that fall under Article One oversight duties. Rather than screaming about “Protecting Democracy”, Dems should be promising to restore Article One and spell it out to the voters. It would be a winning message.

Here’s an example of congress’ failure to uphold their Article One duties: Why are we paying a private Supreme Court litigator to have the courts rule that Trump’s tariffs are illegal, when that is members of congress’ job?

Agree. "Protecting.." is vague. Point to something defined and implementable. The DO IT ffs
Here are some examples: Stop the deployment of the military onto city streets Stop DOJ from targeting Trump’s political enemies Restore FEMA functional oversight duties to agency personnel Resume congressional oversight of tariff policies
Court martial all military that broke Posse Comitatus Act
That’s definitely warranted, but it is not a congressional oversight duty
I’m already working on the 2026 memes but of course, no one in the party will even give me the time of day. They just want me to send money 🙄
