    What I want Dems to do right now is identify and call out the unprecedented actions of Republicans.

    I want them to loudly say “we will not sign any budget bill that doesn’t address Elon”.

    What I want them to do is introduce bills to protect the federal government.

    Just because the party isn’t in power, doesn’t mean they are powerless. The Republican majority is paper thin. Now is the time to exploit that and to make the case to Americans “this isn’t normal”.

    Instead they are being silent, which is the exact wrong move. Did Republicans ever STFU as a minority about CRT, DEI, woke, or hunter’s laptop? No. Dems need to take a page out of that playbook.

    They and you are acting like it was a landslide lose. It was not. Now is not the time for a pity party and a vacation.
