DailyKosCongress is seriously doing business out of fear that their names might appear in a tweet.
The thing that should be reassuring Congress they can withstand the stubby fury of Trumps Twitter finger is exactly how often he fires off those snotty, Putin-coddling snippets. Its. Just. Constant. And the more Trump uses it, the less potent it becomes. Like the buzz of mosquitoes in summer, its always there. Background noise.
Congress can swat him when they want by actually denying him one of his treasured bits of nonsense. Or, the next time Trump fumbles out his greasy, aging, unsecured phone, people could simply laugh off his entirely laughable attacks. However, that would require Congress to act with a trace of dignity and just a modicum of spine. In other words: highly unlikely.
