And if we let it slide, it sets the precedent that Congress doesn’t matter, the people don’t matter, and the only will that counts is the president’s.

But it’s not that WE let it slide, it’s that Republicans in Congress let it slide. Every voter who has one or more GOP members of Congress should be calling them. Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121 ask for your Rep or Senator by name. If voicemail is full, send an email.

Isn't it also the fault of democrats for not getting out and voting last November?

Imagine eradicating the IRS and congressional representation while still taxing the population. That's where trumps terrible tariffs come in to play. A population of chattel for the Executive to rule over. There will be no more need for representation. Or voting for that matter.

Well then, we know the outcome.....as if Congress (Republicans and God knows who else) would change their tune at this point..& they don't listen to all the people....their town halls are laughable...so bizarre. They hate & laugh at Dems & guess you would call indep whatever that is. Very creepy

Congress will let it slide. It's pro fascism and authoritarianism so the right wing (by definition, fascist) will love it and the establishment democrats will let it slide because it makes them look good and they don't even have to be better people, they can just compare to Trump and his regime.

Even if Congress doesn't let it slide, the interruption in funds while it's litigated will do as much if not more damage to international relationships. We have now been proven, in so many ways,.am unreliable and inconsistent partner.

The maga gop Congress has given up their power. Our system was set up assuming that each branch would defend their power -- so Congress dismantled the effectiveness of 3 separate but = branches by giving their power to the Executive. And the head of the Judicial branch, the scotus, has...
aug 30, 2025, 4:22 am • 3 0 • view
...used their power to also give the Executive more & more power. (Not true of lower Courts, but scotus keeps overruling constitutionally sound rulings by lower courts.) We're in trouble with an unstoppable Executive who is a demagogue w/ low morals, little intelligence & dictatorial aspirations.

There has never been a Speaker as impotent as Johnson. Partisan, yes. Borderline stupid, yes. But never has there been one that has fully cede Congress’s constitutional powers. It’s insulting to all, conservatives and progressives alike.

That has already been determined by the supreme court - the final arbiter of all law - that Trump is basically a king. If you don't like that, you need to rise up, 1789 style, and overthrow this evil republican regime that has conquered America. You have already lost. Fight back or accept it.

In 2021, Dem leaders held the powers of the Executive Branch and Congress, and they chose to uphold the leaders who attempted the coup. ALL leaders, including former, normalized leader treason, & there were NO American protests. Biden could have led the way to expel & jail traitor leaders.

I would like to think otherwise. Now we have GOP members of congress being directly told that the power they thought they held doesn't matter. When the entire party is after power and control, then one is taking that power from others, that gives them cause to splinter and push back.
