    They are doing a lot of these things, the media is just barely covering it. Here’s that coverage brought up higher. Could they and should they do more, absolutely and do put directed pressure them to do more, but let’s not pretend they are doing nothing. That just creates defeatism instead of the energy we need to keep the pressure up


    Handful of the lawsuits that you probably didn’t hear about:

    Democratic AGs win preliminary injunction against DOGE access to Treasury payment systems

    Gov. Josh Shapiro Says Over $2 Billion of Federal Funding Is Unfrozen for Pennsylvania (following PA’s lawsuit)

    20 Dem AGs sue over Trump efforts to fire probationary employees

    Democratic AGs sue over cancellation of teacher grants

    More than a dozen state attorneys general file lawsuit challenging Musk and DOGE’s authority

    Democratic attorneys general sue to block Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship

    Democratic National Committee Files Lawsuit Against Trump

    And so many more. There are an insane number of lawsuits going on right now


    In delay tactics, they could do more, but they have now starting using them. It’s more than zero that’s for sure. Keep the pressure up here for them to do more. Call your reps to deny unanimous consent more often - it’s starting to get through a bit. Here’s a few examples

    Senate Democrats Hold Floor In All-Night Protest of Trump’s OMB Nominee (they held it for the maximum 30 hours)

    Scoop: Senate Dems delay Tulsi Gabbard nomination (were able to do so because of some procedural stuff with how she filed her clearance)

    Senate Democrats delay Kash Patel committee vote


    In terms of protests, they are also speaking and rallying at them with again limited coverage. Here’s a few

    Democrats Protest Outside USAID Headquarters as Trump Seeks to Dismantle Agency

    Democrats and protesters rally outside treasury department to protest Elon Musk’s access to sensitive information – as it happened

    Dems protesting outside the department of education, trying to get in and denied entry

    Dems protesting outside of the EPA

    And so on
