USAmericans are living in turmoil, struggling to makes ends meet; We see headlines like this, and then we see our representatives—Democrat representatives—sit around. I'm aware this order is illegal, and maybe it would be "pointless" to reiterate that; but maybe it wouldn't. Maybe restating the president can't take control of elections would actually persuade enough of the Supreme Court to tell Trump to ask Congress. Maybe a few defectors would join Democrats in refusing to give Trump that control. What else are our representatives going to be doing? Attending lobbyist parties?

This is why so many USA folks are bitter and jaded about our nation, the Democratic Party, and voting in general. We have seen resistance efforts against ICE, especially now in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We've seen lawyers and civil rights activists assemble to assist marginalized groups. Soup kitchens and food pantries continue to get essential support, even during this economic recession. During the shutdown, while SNAP benefits were illegally withheld, even restaurants were offering free meals to SNAP recipients. And not one bit of this was thanks to the so-called opposition party. People with local businesses or full-time jobs—people with family members to care for—are taking on this effort; and the vast majority of the folks making $174,000 a year in their political representative job aren't involved beyond showing up to their cushy office, walking into the chamber, and pressing the "No" button that they know won't stop anything. Then, when that vote would have power, they give the All-Clear to the fascists...all three times now.

Not one member of the Senate even requested the "Big Beautiful Bill" be read out in full—a procedure which likely would have delayed the bill by months. Introducing the bill by name alone requires unanimous consent; and Republicans got it. Again and again we watch as limp-spined Democrats follow their geriatric delulu leader Schumer, and their followers yell at everyone who criticizes them—pro-Palestine protestors; Newsom critics; those calling for resistance—It's agonizing.

Literally draft the documents they need to pass to override his "emergency" and put it before Congress the moment he tries this bullshit. Congress has the power to nullify any "emergency" he declares.

Write up articles of impeachment.

At least prepare it all and make it clear to the people you have it ready.

And keep fucking doing it. Shut down any and all congressional action until this shit stain is out of the white house. Refuse to fund anything. Impeach anyone and everyone they can that is involved in this.

Hold congressional hearings over and over and compel these fascist fucks to waste their fucking time answering questions we already know. Make them say it out loud. Then fucking spread their fucked up answers far and wide. Not just in democratic mailers asking for money, but to every influencer.

They could pass a law making it clear that there is no emergency power that would allow the President to interfere with elections.

The President would veto the law.

Congress could then overturn the veto

It would get struck down by the courts, make its way to the Supreme Court, and then who the fuck knows.

The Trump admin ghouls understand this logistical red tape, know if will not pass muster and time it so that they achieve maximum compliance in a short window of time.

This emergency executive order is going to get thrown down mid to late October, and by the time the courts can churn it through the appeals system, the election in November will have already happened. Oops, looks like all of Trump's cronies and sycophants won, too late to go back now - we already swore them in!
