The Democrats need to do whatever it takes to stop this insane President !

It’d be nice if they stop talking about it and just do something. What’s taking so long?

today Chris Murphy, Jamie Raskin, Gerry Connolly and a MD Dem Congressman tried to storm the USAID building to get to the musk kids installing hard drives, but could not get in. Thank you. I'd like to see all the DEM Congress members doing this. Go to Treasury. Musk has now broken into a lot of agencies, Dept of Education and a lot more, continuing to get access to private info, now all the students with loans/sholarships, etc. Get AOC to go with you, and Jasmine Crockett.

They just went back to work yesterday. Yet Elon and his boys broke into the office Friday afternoon. I rest my case.

Trump is a racist, misogynist, rapist, and a felon. Apparently this is what a lot of Americans wanted. He needs to be removed from office immediately. Congress needs to act NOW

That’s what’s known as Impeaching him. And it’s a two step process.

And it begins in the House of Representatives with the Speaker of the House. Sure! That will happen- right?

Well you don’t know till you try now do ya ? And in case you haven’t been paying attention, there’s cracks starting to develop in the Republican Party.

Expand full comment

Well it’s the Speaker who gets to call up matters for a vote. I don’t see any crack there - unless you’re suggesting “crackpot”. With that I’d have to agree.

Yep, what Trump and Elon have done is completely out of traditional norms when it comes to running government. If Dems think that using traditional lawsuits and legislation is going to solve the problem of Trump and Elon, they are completely wrong. Because Trump and Elon don’t work within the system. They’re abolishing the very system that Democrats think will work to abolish Trump and Elon. The only way to win against Trump and Elon is to work outside the box. But Dems can’t even think outside the box.

Dont forget he's a perpetual liar! The talk he had with Netanyahu today was full of lies. He's so fake.

What Hakeem needs to do is have Musk arrested and thrown in prison for meddling in our government affairs and stealing private citizens information!!!

Expand full comment

Musk has no authority to do what he is doing so Hakeem who is minority leader of Congress has every right to have musk arrested!!! He can have the capitol police arrest him!!!

Expand full comment

wouldnt trump just pardon him and send a hit man after Hakeem?

Expand full comment

Hakeem has the right to file articles of impeachment on Trump for all the illegal things he has been doing too!!!!

Expand full comment

He has absolutely NO power to do so!

Expand full comment

Who is going to arrest him? Under what authority?

Expand full comment

Arrest him first on any charges then figure the specifics out later.

Expand full comment

That sounds a little bit too Republican. I’d love to see them all in jail as they deserve to be, but if I want to live in this country with the freedoms it affords I want to see things done lawfully.

Expand full comment

Has doing things lawfully been doing anything for our democracy? Plus he is guilty of authorizing the steal of our U.S.Treasury funds!

Expand full comment

The Constitution? He has done many illegal acts. Doesn’t the Supreme Court have to uphold the Constitution? 😭

Expand full comment

doesnt seem like it lately:(

I think if he had that power he would do it. This is an unprecedented situation, that is shifting rapidly and on many levels. We have people acting outside the law with an Executive who is sanctioning unconstitutional power with a loyalists in enough powerful positions to push there actions. I trust dem leadership to strategize to do what they can to slow down and thwart the process. Dem leadership may not be able to prevent all the damage that is happening and wishing they could just stop this mess or being angry at them is not going to make it stop. Dem leaders cannot do it alone. They need our voices and our backing.

Expand full comment

This won’t end unless we end it!! I emailed Hakeem and you all can too!! He has the power to help us to get Trump impeached and Musk arrested!! Don’t doubt what I’m saying!! Hakeem just has to know it!!! Google his email and tell him we need him to stand up for us and what is right!!!!

Expand full comment

You are wrong Kamala could have refused to certify Trump as president and Musk is not an elected part of our government the only solution is to impeach Trump and there is much cause for Congress to do so!! And if they don’t they are complicit in distroying our country!!! Trump is very evil and won’t stop he needs to be held accountable for all the evil shit he has done and all the evil he has allowed Musk to do!!! We can do this but it takes our democrats in Congress to stop this madness!!!!!

Expand full comment

Trumps job is not to disrupt our government but work within the constitution and the governing powers that have been established for many years !!! But he has unleashed an evil entity to overthrow the status quo!! Musk who has no right to even interfere with the established government!!!! Musk has no power or right to do what he is doing and Trump has no right to let Musk do what he is doing!! Trump must be impeached!!!!

Expand full comment

Oh, please. If you have a realistic suggestion then make it, of course. But really, really, really try to think about what you’re saying.

Yes. Yes. Yes!!!

KEEP IT UP! Take BOTH HOUSES BACK FROM REPUKELICON CONTROL IN TWO YEARS! IMPEACH THE FELON tRUMP & remove him from Orraface! ASAP!

CONTINUE THE STRUGGLE TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY!

END THE REPUKELICON PARTY OF LYERS AND THIEVES!

If, and only if, anything is allowed to take place in two years. Forget 4 years, b/c midterms being there or not will tell what the chances are of 2028 even being an election year.

If not REPUKELICONS and the us will be in civil war!

At least he and the congressional dems are FINALLY doing something about the lawlessness we’re seeing from this administration. However, I think the horse has already left the barn with regard to the treasury department. That data is already in their hands and likely already off shore somewhere.

They HAVE been working on it!

Hallelujah! I’m glad to see someone is taking some action that could actually make a difference. Thank you!

H Jefferies you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work and shut this down.

1. Ill believe it when I see it

2. Why do we have to announce our playbook - JUST DO IT!! Damn - grow a spine Dems!!!!

Expand full comment

He announced it because it's time to implement it. Jesus! Dems are damned if they do and damned if they don't! How about a positive reply.

Expand full comment

Look - I don’t like getting nasty with others even though we may disagree but I honestly do not think we are being aggressive enough as a party.

Expand full comment

Not sure what reality you are living in.

Expand full comment

They need to do a lot more like throw Musk and his little minions in jail! Then impeach tRump for malfeasance and attempt to overthrow the rule of law and our Constitution!

Expand full comment

I agree!!

Expand full comment

Hell yes!! LFG Rep. Jeffries! I want to see Dems use every single tool at their advantage to stop this madness. The Republicans wanted total control so they need to have total ownership. I’m sick of the Dems who are still trying to play nice with a corrupt and cruel party as if they are a legitimate equal partner in governing. Every Dem that supports/sides with the Republicans is giving them cover to continue this destruction and chaos. Defy. Obstruct. Call out the lies, tell the truth, and do not give them one vote. Not ONE! Form your shadow government Rep. Jeffries!

Hurry

I don’t think you should be posting your plans where Trump and his trumpistas are able to see them.

Expand full comment

That will not stop the Democrats from shutting it all down. tRump told everyone what he was going to do starting Day One. Apparently no one believed him. Now, at least, our leaders are fighting back.

Expand full comment

Just do it! And quickly!!! Don’t tell everyone. You need to hold your cards close to the vest. I know you want people to know you are doing something, but if you telegraph it you lose any element of surprise.

Expand full comment

What a waste of time. Sorry Jim Costa, I think you are a good guy but please if you must talk about plans do it in private and please this is not the time to talk about COVID and emergency preparedness. We already have an emergency that takes precedence - the slide into a dictatorship which is actively happening as we, you speak. Do something, ACT!!!

Are you thinking of someone else?

Expand full comment

AGREE!!! We have zero game!!

Expand full comment

Right! He’s been barraging us daily with chaos. He need chaos in his world. Throw him and his buddies off their game.

Expand full comment

We DO NOT have zero game. Why are people bitching at him. THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING.

Expand full comment

Trump and Musk must be stopped. Their intention to crush our democracy seems obvious. Shutting down the government may be the only option that will work. Chicken shit Republican House and Senate members are just too afraid of Trump to make even complaints. Our convicted felon president will do whatever is required to protect himself, not caring about any damage he does.

Fight fire with fire 🔥! Go for it Leader Jeffries. Stop ‘em where they crap!!!

Expand full comment

NOW IS THE TIME FOR DEMOCRATS TO DEMAND FUNDS FOR THE RESURRECTION OF PRESIDENT OBAMA’s SPECIAL DEPARTMENT TO AUDIT THE RICH AND INCREASE TAXES FOR THOSE EARNING OVER $400K

I’ll take the pain of waiting for them to accept the Demo deal, unlike the right willing to pay “an extra 25¢ for a cup of coffee to send the “rapists and criminals back to their country.”

I’ll need to check out those plans. It’s been awhile. Thank you for the thought.

Excellent

Do it right now!!

Those are great plans. However, the Democrats need to act like the opposition party and not vote for Republican bills especially the Senate Democrats should not vote for any of Trump’s pics for heading offices. We can see what they’ve done already.

We have democrats acting like republicans. Fetterman from pennsylvania has turned into a big disappointment. I can't.

Believe that he's turning rotten.

Leave him out. He is with you or against you. He can’t play both sides

Expand full comment

It is past time, but his plan is good. It is time for our Democratic leaders to enter the fight. We have been doing our part making calls and sending letters. Now to get Musk and his employees out of the treasury and out of government completely.
