DUers are asking "what can we do?" Here's an answer [View all]

From Leah Greenberg on bluesky: Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrwn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It's a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting ( I think she means conducting) business as usual.

If Dems did this, the press would have to ask them why they were doing it. It would give them a chance to raise a ruckus. Let's go!
